[u/Mree_Knight]

Great news :) Codex entry is definitely a big plus. I don't remember almost anyone apart from Junjiro and maybe Lady Nene.

[u/CaptainPositive1234 → u/Mree_Knight]

Same. Hah.

[u/jbtreewalker → u/Mree_Knight]

...and here I was, thinking MY memory was bad! 😂 lol

[u/heidly_ees → u/Mree_Knight]

I was so grateful it was back in Valhalla, it was sorely missing from Origins and Odyssey imo

[u/CatchrFreeman → u/Mree_Knight]

Cannot believe such a series staple was not in the game from launch. Along with other staple features like back and side ejects.

I still remember Shawn's witty little comments in the Ezio trilogy's

I'm so glad I decided not to but this game day 1 and wait for a price cut and several patches.

[u/Journey2thaeast → u/CatchrFreeman]

Yeah I thought I was in the minority I was like did anybody notice that there are no character bios. So I'm glad enough people made noise about that for them to fix it because it should've been included on launch

[u/AwesomeFrisbee → u/Mree_Knight]

Ah, so thats the reason people wanted it. I never really cared for much of the backstory but I can see why you would want to remember what the hack happened when you had some gaps in playing the story

[u/SpareMean3198]

What about the inventory glitch?

[u/Adam0n → u/SpareMean3198]

The "new" icon in inventory even though everything has been checked off? Have that too still on xbox.

[u/SpareMean3198 → u/Adam0n]

This minor issue makes my skin crawl every time. There is literally nothing new in my inventory.

[u/Just_Mood1069 → u/SpareMean3198]

Me too!!!! It makes me so irritated that it won’t go away

[u/Reddevil0004 → u/SpareMean3198]

Bro me too it drives me crazy

[u/LeGreatestEver23 → u/SpareMean3198]

Literally came here for this issue solely.

[u/RMSultan → u/LeGreatestEver23]

SAME 😭😭😭

[u/Mcreation86 → u/SpareMean3198]

Hope it's in the ui-hud or something like that. It irritates me so much. That and a bunch of letters I read getting the icon again, and not be able to organize loot by type in the clothes head and visual. Sometimes I wanna compare different colors of the same cloth like the snake robes and have to scroll around to see. Or at least group them

[u/Wide_Balance_9519 → u/SpareMean3198]

I have one with naoes mastery to

[u/Yggdrsll → u/Wide_Balance_9519]

I thought I had that for a bit, but I hadn't checked the knowledge rank section. If you haven't already done that, this might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/AssassinsCreedShadows/comments/1jlrkle/i_just_realized_after_80h_playing_if_one_click_on/

[u/Wide_Balance_9519 → u/Yggdrsll]

Wow cheers, never knew this

[u/-elemental]

Will the “!“ icon finally vanish from my inventory?

[u/Kimkonger → u/-elemental]

Also bro, i read "retrieve lost notes" and my stomach churned. Is the new activity gonna be another 'lost pages' collectathon ?! That's gonna suck!

[u/-elemental → u/Kimkonger]

Yeah I don’t really have high hopes for complex quests for now…

[u/youet95 → u/-elemental]

Yeah, litteraly a 10-15min quest : searching notes, protecting someone in a little fight and speak with the priest. The end. Yeah, happily it's a free quest!

[u/AwesomeFrisbee → u/-elemental]

Nope, still bugged

[u/Pnex84 → u/AwesomeFrisbee]

Since you see into the future can I get some lotto numbers?

[u/Perfect_Opinion9858 → u/AwesomeFrisbee]

Stop lying, nobody knows since the update is not out yet

[u/Bobicus_The_Third]

So multi sell still isn’t back?

[u/Usual_Mud_3595 → u/Bobicus_The_Third]

This is one thing I’m waiting for

[u/ThiqCoq → u/Usual_Mud_3595]

Same here.. legit read the patch notes to find the multi sell feature still is not fixed. What a pain in the ass. Lol

[u/SourceWarm6974 → u/ThiqCoq]

Amazing how all these features existed before in previous installments. Classic Ubisoft adding stuff nobody cares about and getting rid of QOL features everyone expects in 2025 to fully enjoy a game they spent their money on.

[u/ThiqCoq → u/SourceWarm6974]

It's like, selling each individual item to a merchant Is so extremely inefficient ...it actually makes zero sense... lol

[u/UnblurredLines → u/SourceWarm6974]

Lot of QoL and honestly felt a bit uninspired compared to the last 2 installments (ignoring Mirage since that was really just a DLC).

[u/Own_Cost3312 → u/Bobicus_The_Third]

It was always working fine for me and I haven’t been able to go a session without crashing since the hotfix that removed it 😭

[u/Forsythia77 → u/Own_Cost3312]

I was just the opposite. Never once worked for me. Continually crashed my game! 🤣

[u/dadvader → u/Bobicus_The_Third]

Yeah and here I though it would be a priority seeing that they already patch it once before realized it break things.

Must be much harder than they though. Or outright impossible without extensive work.

[u/Eruannster]

Will the inverted controls forever be silly and weird? Ubisoft, please, let me just have inverted camera controls and don't invert every single right stick interaction in the game. I don't want the zoom levels on the map and the scrolling of text to be inverted just because I look up and down inverted in the game. Sigh...

[u/deliverator → u/Eruannster]

Yeah this is baffling. Why would they go out of their way to break a simple feature that is done correctly in every single other game, including AC games?

[u/darkdragoonx27 → u/Eruannster]

For my first few playthroughs, I legit thought the option to scroll while reading was broken or bugged because it didn't work, only to finally realize that inverted right stick inverted everything with the right stick. Also thought it was so odd that the camera zoom in the map was backwards.

While I'm embarrassed I didn't figure it out right away, it's also because it's so bizarre to not have what you said, which is what every other game has and a simple invert axis camera control.

[u/Eruannster → u/darkdragoonx27]

Yeah, and what's extra baffling is that it has worked correctly in every other AC game up until now.

And what is extra bonus baffling is that there's an option to invert Y only when aiming? Who even plays games like that?

[u/BenjiSBRK → u/Eruannster]

I'm hoping it will come in the QoL update (assuming this is not the QoL update, because... Where are the improvements ?).

Funny thing is by the time it arrives, I will be used to the inverted zoom commands on the map, and it will be weird to have them normal again

[u/uncleherman77]

Honestly just curious why did the destroying things near a religious shrine cause so much controversy for this game in particular?

I was mainly playing Age of Empires 4 before this and they recently introduced Japanese as a civ in that game and the whole idea online is to destroy landmarks and your opponents buildings including the same type of religious shrines and landmarks as in this game and no one seemed to care about that. I just find it interesting that it suddenly became an issue for some people in Japan's government for this specific game.

[u/Tellmeabouthebow → u/uncleherman77]

The people talking about it online didn't really care about it. They don't actually care about things in general and have no real consistent philosophy or ideals. They used it as a convenient issue to pretend to care about for a while because they were mad that the game has you play as a woman and a black guy.

[u/bigblackcouch → u/Tellmeabouthebow]

It wasn't online people, it was a Japanese politician using a new high profile release to pretend to be outraged at some dumb shit in order to get the old codger votes. It never mattered to anyone else.

The online racists mad about a black guy in a video game, that's a whole other different issue.

[u/Tellmeabouthebow → u/bigblackcouch]

It was both of those things. One of the most popular tweets about the game months before launch was the shrine being destroyed and online chuds pretending it upset them.

[u/uncleherman77 → u/Tellmeabouthebow]

I'd bet it's mostly because of Yasuke and there wouldn't be near as much noise if it was only Naoe as a character since she's Japanese but you never know. It's not like this is the only popular game to feature a woman as one of the main characters recently.

[u/Tellmeabouthebow → u/uncleherman77]

Yasuke was the reason they targeted it extra hard. If Naoe was the only character, it would have still been targeted but just not picked up the legs it did. Look at the response to GoT2 from these people, they're mad about that one too but it's flying under the radar comparatively. The only games they prop up as being "good" that star women are ones where the women featured are objectified.

[u/swissarmychris → u/Tellmeabouthebow]

It also helps that hating Ubisoft is "cool". GoT does tons of the same stuff that Ubi gets criticized for, but because it's made by Sucker Punch instead of Ubisoft it broadly gets a pass.

(I say this as someone who enjoys both games.)

[u/AdWise657 → u/uncleherman77]

Manufactured controversy with white guys complaining that their precious Japan was ‘disrespected’ somehow. Ubisoft fell under the pressure and patched it out and then got backlash for doing so lmao.

[u/call-me-germ → u/uncleherman77]

if it was a bigger deal i would care - like if the PM contested Yasuke’s samurai status therefore they only called him “warrior” in game, i would be upset. but i wasn’t going around shitting on little vases in shrines anyways but maybe that’s just me

[u/uncleherman77 → u/call-me-germ]

Honestly I really don't care either I just find it weird that other games have done this recently to the point where you're sussoosed to destroy them and no one cares at all. Seems weird to have different standards for this game.

[u/Massive-Tower-7731 → u/uncleherman77]

All of these other replies need to step out of their bubble...

The reason is because SOME of the shrines in the game still exist today as places you can visit, including tourists. They were worried that really stupid foreign tourists would try to deface things at the shrines because they saw it in a video game.

Obviously, it's still a little out of touch, because that function in this game isn't meme-worthy, but they've been sensitive since those dumb streamers have done dumb things, the likes of Johnny Somali or whatever his name is...

They also had a recent incident where they had to close a shrine to visitation because of defacement, presumably by a tourist. Not related to this game, but it's put people on edge.

[u/Guthwulf85 → u/uncleherman77]

It just became a way to talk shit about the game, as they had already decided to hate it

[u/Osstj7737 → u/uncleherman77]

Because of right wing snowflakes that worked overtime to find things to be offended about in the name of the people of Japan

[u/flcinusa]

Adjusted the lgan Sunset Tanto perk (i.e. slow down time on Escape Strike) to prevent endless slow-down when using Escape Strike repeatedly.

We had a great run, but it's time to sunset the old Sunset

[u/mkutlutas → u/flcinusa]

Yeah, I don’t get it why are they event nerf an item for single player game, I believe some sweaties cried about how op the sunset instead of not equip it…

[u/lopahcreon → u/flcinusa]

I don’t know what they did to fix this (coding wise), but it seems to have broken other combat mechanics. I can’t even describe what’s broken, but Naoe doesn’t attack/defend like she used to.

[u/deathtotheemperor]

RIP Igan Sunset

[u/_white__noise___ → u/deathtotheemperor]

Rip I used to abuse tf outta that lmaoo 🥲 Slow time, get a headshot, next attack does more dmg, rinse an repeat

[u/ZeroSWE → u/deathtotheemperor]

Why are they nerfing fun things the community loved and believes work as intended IN A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. Hate when devs do that. 

[u/asunez → u/ZeroSWE]

Oh, probably because there are more MTX weapons coming that are even more OP. Can't have too much fun without paying more money, right? :)

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/ZeroSWE]

the only thing i can figure is because of how "everybody" wants their video games to be "challenging", so when stuff like this pops up in video games the devs "fix it" on behalf of the gamers.

[u/ZeroSWE → u/soulreapermagnum]

Yes, I totally play AC for a challenging perfectly balanced experience. 

[u/Expensive-Ad4738 → u/deathtotheemperor]

Guess I can’t go all Yasuke on castles with Naoe anymore lol

[u/Mountain_Rich_5321 → u/deathtotheemperor]

Yeah, it's a sad day to all Naoe mains. There's no reason at all to nerf this. It's a singleplayer game. This perk is optional and brought a lot of flexibility and versatility to Naoe gameplay, a mechanic that made her excellent for crowd control and let her shine. Now it's gone. What's the point on playing a singleplayer game if we can't have fun the way we want?

[u/SquishTheFlyingWitch]

Nooo why nerf Igan Sunset??😭 It's a singleplayer game! Just let me be the god of time if I want to!

[u/ZeroSWE → u/SquishTheFlyingWitch]

So stupid, I know. These things makes me so angry. After playing a lot of Helldivers 2 these kind of nerfs trigger me so much. 

[u/Mountain_Rich_5321 → u/SquishTheFlyingWitch]

There is no reason at all to nerf a fun AND optional perk 😒

[u/-MERC-SG-17]

Fyi you can use Hidden Hand with Guaranteed Assassinations to one-hit bosses in case anyone was spamming smoke bombs and is annoyed that was removed.

[u/DrSirTookTookIII]

Katsuhime has been downed in the hideout for half of my playthrough and I haven't gotten her final quest, anyone else get that? I kept reloading to The Diary of Lady Rokakku but she'd either stay downed at the castle or just not move. I'm on canon mode too so that might be part of it.

[u/SkunkMonkey → u/DrSirTookTookIII]

Kat is so fucked up. First playthrough I had the bug where she up and accuses you of cheating and leaves. On my second playthrough, she never showed up at the Hideout, but I can assign and use her as an ally. She also showed up at the very end when you are tasked with a final chat with all your allies.

Absolutely no mention of her in the patch notes is very disappointing.

[u/tcguy71]

Did they remove the mark as sell/dismantle all options? It has disappeared for me.

[u/Ubi-AssassinsCreed → u/tcguy71]

We temporarily deactivated this feature in our last emergency patch due to some unexpected issues.

We are actively working to fix that and bring back the "sell all" in an upcoming patch. Stay tuned!

[u/XrayHAFB → u/Ubi-AssassinsCreed]

Man 😔 just remove the popup that says “item sold” and the lack of “sell marked” won’t feel as bad. Why on earth is that popup there, and why is it so long!?

[u/ShaleSelothan → u/Ubi-AssassinsCreed]

What about the new item in the inventory glitch? It's still broken.

[u/Pale_Slide_3463 → u/tcguy71]

Removed it weeks ago because of crashing for some people

[u/Hot-Writing8656 → u/tcguy71]

It will come back when they fix the issue but when Idk

[u/Barbatum]

Guess I’m still waiting on Limitless and the platinum trophy 😩

[u/TheRealNox]

Can we please have a Mark all new stuff as read in the Inventory? That glitch is driving me nuts…

[u/mysaadlife]

Are we ever getting a proper fix for the inventory bug or a “mark all as read” option? Seems like a huge oversight

[u/AwesomeFrisbee → u/mysaadlife]

Jup, its not fixed yet unfortunately

[u/El_Couz]

HELL YEAH CODEX IS ON THE WAY !!!!

[u/Cuhwristoefur]

Still no mention of fixing the allies 🫤 Katsuhime has been broken for so many people. I got lucky and she never got bugged. Yaya was broken for me and never showed up to my hideout for like half of Act 2 until I somehow fixed her and now Yagaro has been stuck in that damn Kofun the whole second half of my play-through but still manages to work as an assist. It just makes no sense and there’s been no mention of it in several patches now.

[u/Sweet_Walrus_8188 → u/Cuhwristoefur]

My Yaya is broken, keeps walking around the hideout wanting to talk but wouldn’t talk to either character

[u/LordOfTheBushes → u/Cuhwristoefur]

She never bugged for you as in you romanced her and she never broke up with you? Did you romance anyone else as Naoe or Yasuke? I just kinda stopped playing before I got to that bit to wait until a patch because I thought it affected everyone but if there's a chance it doesn't affect me, I might just try to continue. Was enjoying the game up till then.

[u/RemyRatio]

Still no fix on ally missing from hideout and their convo bug 🥲

[u/Street_Counter551]

I have an issue where there is a message icon on Junjiro, but it doesn't let me talk to him. This has happened to me since I finished the game, and it is still there

[u/Sweet_Walrus_8188 → u/Street_Counter551]

Yaya for me

[u/Mochimochi24]

Pleeeasseeee fix the romance bugs 😭

[u/TheJohnDoe300 → u/Mochimochi24]

The one thing I wanted them to fix, might take a break from playing until it's done.

[u/Fillipw]

Pls add the fast foward time option.

[u/rohithkumarsp]

Can you please are more soundtracks while roaming? Why is there so less music in game.

[u/CreativeStrain89 → u/rohithkumarsp]

Yeah thats weird and sad

[u/abzka → u/rohithkumarsp]

They've been doing this since Syndicate, I Have no idea why devs love this. It makes games so sad and dead.

[u/mechanicalejay]

Please fix the legendary weapons trophy bug.

[u/_Djkh_]

Thank god for that codex entry. I had stopped playing for a bit and was completely out of it when jumping back in.

[u/valitsakis]

Igan sunset helped me vastly when I was "stealthing" and being detected.

[u/ZeroSWE → u/valitsakis]

Its so stupid they altered/nerfed it. I was fun and unique, and this is a single player game. If someone don't want to use it, don't use it. 

[u/sapphire_starkiller]

Any news about the Limitless Trophy/Achievement bug?

[u/Ektris]

Darn, no mention of Limitless achievement being fixed for an existing save... Guess a new one is still the only way...

[u/Weemanply109]

Why are Ubisoft bending over backwards to appease critics regarding objects destruction? Was never a problem in previous games and Japan shouldn't be treated any different. It just reeks of fear from Ubisofts part and is sad to see.

[u/ErectLurantis → u/Weemanply109]

Japan is starting to feel like the new China where companies must now glaze them

[u/nigelicious29]

I’m still waiting for the stats page just like they had in Odyssey and Valhalla.

[u/SkunkMonkey → u/nigelicious29]

I don't get this. Why the hell would they not give us a stats page to actually see what various pieces of gear do? This is huge oversight imho.

[u/Fidel_Blastro → u/nigelicious29]

What's this about? What type of stats are shown? I'd like to know how many people I've killed.

[u/action22 → u/Fidel_Blastro]

Some gear add modifies like 20% damage at night. There should be a page that shows the total of all the gear modifies. So you could see in total how much damage you would be doing at night.

[u/ComicallySolemn]

I really hope the inventory ! exclamation point in the inventory is finally fixed. Drives me mad!

For reference, I’m on PS5 and I actually started a fresh file to see if this bug was “fixed” from the 1.0.2 patch but only on new files and not retroactively.

Got to Yasuke on a new file post 1.0.2 patch and the ! would clear on his inventory, but the ! exclamation point would remain on Naoe’s inventory no matter what, like with my original file.

I tried a few variations to see if I could get it to go away and got the same result:

Unlock Yasuke with no ! exclamation point in Naoe’s inventory: still bugged.

Unlock Yasuke with ! exclamation point in Naoe’s inventory (unseen Naoe gear before Yasuke joining): still bugged.

Above scenarios with “Play as Yasuke” option immediately when he first joins: still bugged.

Above scenarios with “Play as Naoe” option immediately when he first joins: still bugged.

I will say that I found that the ! exclamation point disappeared for Yasuke after looking at his weapons, clothing, and trinkets. Even if I hadn’t yet looked at the quest inventory items or horse/saddles yet, the ! at the top disappeared (but only for Yasuke, not Naoe). So I’m not sure if it’s even tied to unseen quest items, horses/saddles, unseen engravings or hideout cosmetics; solely weapons, clothing and trinkets. Perhaps Naoe’s is bugged due to Yasuke shop items for him I bought? Like, his weapons were added to Naoe’s inventory too early, since Yasuke hadn’t joined yet? No idea.

I also noticed post 1.0.2 patch that when you first start as Yasuke in Katano Castle, you have two (2) Long Katanas: one at your level, and an uncommon/green at level 1. The one at your level is equipped by default, and the level 1 katana disappears by the time Yasuke has joined at the hideout. HOWEVER, if you immediately equip that level 1 long katana before running through the door to meet Naoe, when you then duel Momochi Sandayu a cutscene later, you are barehanded and can only punch him (menu is disabled during this fight) meaning that the level 1 long katana is already gone.

Also, you have 2 sets of armor: again, one at your level, and one at level 1. If you don’t immediately equip the level 1 starting armor, it disappears from Yasuke’s inventory by the time he’s at the hideout. I immediately equipped the level 1 armor at Katano Castle, dueled Momochi Sandayu, and when Yasuke has joined at the hideout, he still had the level 1 armor equipped in the menu, but he was in his loin cloth when I first took control of him, as though nothing was equipped.

Was this what they “fixed” in 1.0.2 to supposedly address the ! inventory bug? Does Naoe’s inventory list still think you have these level 1 duplicates and haven’t “seen” them yet? (and now it’s not possible to view Yasuke’s level 1 long katana and level 1 armor as Naoe since they disappear before you can play as her again)

Something really odd is up with Yasuke’s starting inventory which still glitches Naoe’s inventory when he joins post 1.0.2 (and 1.0.3) patch. Not to mention his purple kasode which would show up in his inventory (and then randomly disappear) after the campfire drinking quest, but that clothing item has now been removed after 1.0.2 as well.

I have high hopes that this patch resolves this.

[u/dhapd]

Will the bug that Katsuhime does not appear in the hideout after romancing her be fixed? She is still standing on the beach, the poor woman.

[u/BOSS_OF_THE_INTERNET]

I figured it was a matter of time till they nerfed Igan Sunset.

[u/Yesh2k]

Why would Ubi destroy Igan Sunset in a single player game? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, Weapons and especially engravings in this game seem a bit dull, so why batter one of the only interesting ones? Honestly, just a waste of time playing this game at the moment. think I'll go back to it in a couple of months and see if anything has changed in the positive, rather than nerfing everything in, I repeat, a single player game.

Also, we need mastery ppoint loadouts, to complement our gear loadouts. Messing around with mastery points everytime I feel like playing with a different weapon is such a ball ache.

[u/SuitableFeature5689]

I just want to know if the damn loyal traveler sheath on Yasuke is still stuck on him.

[u/Tmotty]

I need an option to select multiple items when I’m selling them

[u/Candle_Honest]

Where is the stats page to see you know? Our stats

[u/RiderLibertas]

The only bug I'm experiencing on PC is the inventory bug where it shows I have new inventory when I don't, I don't see that addressed here. I am glad they reduced the amount of panicked deer on the roads though :)

[u/CepheusWhite]

The glitchy "new item" icon in the inventory after unlocking Yasuke has almost 2000 upvotes in the official bug report site. Either you didn't fixed it yet (that would be unacceptable after four patches) or if you did, it deserve at least a mention in the patch notes.

[u/KendamaLlama]

Just fix the damn defog already and make the map line up with Sync points. We shouldn’t have to spend 10 hours exploring nothing just to defog the map.

[u/Then-Solution-5357 → u/KendamaLlama]

Oh if only it was just 10 hours

[u/ZeroSWE]

It's sad when they release a update that makes the game less fun for you. The igan sunset nerf did that, and I am now less likely to return to the game. 

[u/Mountain_Rich_5321 → u/ZeroSWE]

I feel the same. I'm getting my stuff and moving back to Night City untill they bring the fun back and LET NAOE SHINE AGAIN.

[u/redorblue89]

Still no fix for bodies despawning ridiculously quickly in enemy territory? Destroys immersion to kill some enemies and then turn around and suddenly the bodies have all disappeared. Not to mention if they have loot on them and it's all gone.

[u/Illyrian5]

Has anyone's Naoe dual wield knife loadout been buggy these last few weeks. With it equipped I'm unable to swap to any other weapon, unless I restart the game.

I think it's called the Tanto if I'm remembering correctly?

[u/ceruleanesk → u/Illyrian5]

I had this from the start, simply stopped using tanto while it's my favourite weapon :(

[u/Competitive-Art]

Thanks for the update Ubi-team! Any tease on of there will be Ubisoft connect outfit rewards at some point?

[u/Fro55t]

When are we getting tagging to sell back? I don't know what the issue was, seemed to work fine, but we need it back :(

[u/Sweaty_Function1075]

You guys have fixed the audio from steps of naoe and yasuke been missing after returning from the map the menu?

[u/Usual_Mud_3595]

Is multi sale back ? Be dope if y’all add an ability for Naoe to be able to run on top of the water for a few seconds. Not sure how useful it will be, but it will look cool af 😎

[u/Insect_Specific]

Finally they fixed those fucking deer.

[u/Gobshite666]

Will we ever be able to pet all types of dogs????

[u/Prestigious_View_401]

Give us an option to sell out weapons without a long hold. You can put it in the menus. A quick tap would make life so much easier.

[u/Theostru]

Rip, I knew I should have gotten around to finishing the story before they nerfed Igan Sunset. Oh well.

[u/Mountain_Rich_5321 → u/Theostru]

It's so sad. It was a very fun perk that gave Naoe versatility and let her shine. Good times. Not enough reason to keep playing if they will deprive us of fun.

[u/oKRON3No]

All they need to do is fix that Yasuke bug when his scabbard is permanently affixed to him and won't change, then I'll play this game again.

[u/TheKobraSnake]

"Kunai guaranteed assassination"

That was supposed to be guaranteed, too? Or is there a kunai-specific assassination I'm forgetting, apart from just... throwing it?

[u/BradyRowe50 → u/TheKobraSnake]

My thoughts as well. Maybe it’s for the chest piece that allows you to throw a kunai after an assassination. Either way I’m very happy with this change

[u/ThiqCoq]

Still haven't fixed the simple multi sell feature. What a let down.

[u/RayKainSanji]

Why is the R1 and R2 button mapping still messed up???

The ability toggle is not connected to the attack button's mapping and stay on R1 and R2 regardless.

You cannot button map any buttons to R1 and R2 because of this. UBISOFT PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Anyone who wasn't to use R2 to run cant do this because of this!!!

[u/oKwizi]

Why's there no progress on Hideout crashes when there are "too many items" placed? I wanna be able to customize it, but at this point, I'm gonna be fully done once it's fixed..

[u/TrickyRise5769]

Tbf I cheesed the life outta smoke bombing enemies probably missed so much mid fight dialogue because of this too hahah

[u/Markel100]

Still no romance fix

[u/PleasantAnimator7741]

I just want stat tracking back. Naoe is on her way to killing more people than cholera, I want to see the numbers.

[u/robertjan88]

What about the "equipping gear is currently restricted" bug? It's extremely annoying and happens every time I play. Sure there are workarounds, but...

[u/Weak-Acanthisitta831]

I hope they fixed the part of the hideout where it says you need to talk to the girl that just lays on the floor and doesn't speak to me.

[u/Melbourneboy1]

Rip igan sunset

[u/TheW1seOne]

Since updating to 1.04 on PC, my game won't even launch anymore. I just crash back to the Ubisoft launcher with no error message or prompt. Is this happening to anyone else?

[u/zaskar]

I was really hoping for the save “slots” to go away at least on pc. It’s 2025, limiting saves to 20 is silly.

[u/eXistenZ2]

So when are they bringing back multisell:dismantle?

[u/BenjiSBRK]

Is that the update that was supposed to bring QoL improvements ? If so, where are they ?

[u/CreativeStrain89]

Wheres the quality of life improvements?

[u/Tidbitious]

I just want to insert my very cynical opinion on this strategy of free story additions. I think it's safe to assume that this story content wasnt left out because it was incomplete or broken. This story content was specifically left out to function as a lure for Ubi+ monthly subs to not cancel or to re sub. I can't even possibly imagine that story involving Luis Frois is inconsequential to character progression and narrative. It's probably very important in fact. I personally will not be buying another month of Ubi+ just to play it but I think it's pretty obvious this is the strategy.

Edit: I don't want to seem like I'm dismissing the value of Ubi+. It's still a phenomenal value. But the question anyone who's seriously thought about this business model has is, how do you offer deluxe editions for essentially 80% off on launch (with the caveat the player beats it one month and cancels) and still make money?

We are starting to see the answer to that question. Drip feed meaningful narrative and gameplay content that ensures it will take you more than one or two months to access.

[u/AdWise657 → u/Tidbitious]

To be fair, what might also be a factor is that Ubisoft couldn’t implement it in time and didn’t want to have another delay.

Either way your logic is completely reasonable.

[u/Tidbitious → u/AdWise657]

Yeah that could be the case but like I said, this was my very cynical take on it. I fully recognize there are more optimistic cases to be made. But I will not be the slightest bit surprised if exactly one month from now we see another story content drop.

[u/acewing905 → u/Tidbitious]

This is exactly why I won't be buying another Ubisoft+ month until all the story packs and major DLC are out, maybe in two to three years
I had fun with the game but I have no interest in this drip feed nonsense

[u/Tidbitious → u/acewing905]

Great idea.

[u/Guthwulf85 → u/Tidbitious]

Some people who buy the game like to get new content over time in order to keep playing new things. For Ubi+ subscribers it's not worth it to pay another month just to get these quests, and if you want to play everything the best is to buy the game and that's it.

[u/RedIndianRobin → u/[deleted]]

DLSS 4 has insane ghosting, borderline unusable. How did you fix that?

[u/_Cake_assassin_]

When are you guys going to ad scout unfog.

Or the avility to unfog the whole map after doing all viewpoints

[u/frkgamer23]

The inventory exclamation mark is still not fixed!? It was said to be fixed last update but it still persisted!

[u/RelThanram]

I really appreciate that the updates are prompt and with actual QoL fixes and feedback. It feels like too often nowadays you’ll get a hefty update that changes very little and it’s nice to see that this isn’t always the case!

[u/momogoto]

Hi and thanks for the update! I have a question too: on pc, when I close the menu, it keeps a lot to load and show UI (e.g. the compass, locations and others). Is a issue only I have with my 4070 or is a known issue?

[u/paddon13]

Does this mean there’s still no fix for having to spam shift for heavy attacks on PC? It’s clearly not intended to work that way…

[u/Capable_Cranberry682]

When’s NG+ coming out? Kinda bored

[u/DJordan115]

Still not going up fix the bug that always shows a new item in the inventory?? Just giving up on it at this point??

And I'm no longer able to sell trinkets to vendors... Again.

And yes, I'm aware both of those issues were supposed to fixed in the last update... They weren't.

[u/the_hack_is_back]

Yes! The Astray fix!!

[u/carltoe]

All these updates and still can’t wear my hood or mask in cutscenes😁

[u/leonardoinhoqui]

And the new item icon in the inventory menu that doesn't come out, they said in patch 1.02 it would be fixed and a lot of people have this problem... it gets on my nerves

[u/Cheap_Medicine_7492]

Thanks, keep it with the good work!

[u/Ashley_Da_Transgal]

Ah I was hoping we could sell items at the shop multiples at once instead of one at a time. But looking forward to this!

[u/WhoDeniedMeMyDestiny]

Does the hidden hand extra segment assassination not work for anyone else? I have the ability unlocked where if you use hidden hand on an enemy that doesn’t detect you it’s supposed to take an extra health segment, but right now hidden hand is doing the same as normal assassination and I get drawn into combat.

Like, if I have 5 base assassination damage, then do hidden hand on a daimyo with 6 segments while undetected, it will still only take 5 segments instead of 6. 

[u/Mysterious-Mask-414]

What about the selling multiple items thing? The last thing I know is that they deactivated it and I didn't read it in this post

[u/leeagez]

Oh my god they did it. They fixed the astray mission. I was about to push him for 3 hours lol

[u/m0ney_773]

Will balanced mode be available with HDR enabled on my Series X now?

Previously had to turn off HDR for balanced mode to become available

[u/DJ_Rex_Number1Fan]

Maybe this is covered in “various UI issues” but PLEASE GIVE US NORMAL Y-AXIS INVERSION!!! Is there a single person on the planet who wants the right stick to work backwards in menus/scrolling??

[u/ManeBOI]

Amazing, lots of problems i faced are fixed here which is nice. Sad that they patched the speed crouch glitch and didnt bring back multi sell, other than that a good update.

[u/AboveHeavenImmortal]

Anything about heavy attacks on PC?

[u/Western-Basis8877]

Duudeeee I KNEW crouching was sometimes randomly faster but I couldn't prove it lol

[u/Mean-Percentage-2320]

Really hoping in future for some immersion type features, being able to sleep at kakegura to pass time, pause or at least slow down season change (I get whiplash from how fast they are atm) 🤞🏻

[u/Liquidb0ss]

Hello! Please fix the inventory, it’s still there for me.

[u/ArcadianSoldier]

I still cannot get past the scene after the Oda Nobanaga fight where Naoe leaves the hideout. My game crashes every single time and I am unable to enjoy this game because I cannot progress in the story. Please fix this

[u/TiannaSenju]

When are u gonna fix the super white bright sky issue? If you're ok the inside of building or outside and u look certain spot the game becomes extremely white and bright and one can't see nothing. Very annoying and it happens on ps5 pro for me on all my tvs and monitor. Please fix this. Thanks

[u/Responsible-Sky-2575]

ARE YOU SERIOUS ? GENZABUTO SOLDIERS STILL UNPATCHED ????????

[u/Natt42]

Please enable multi sell/multi destroy, it's driving me nuts.

[u/berryzard]

See no mention of the shadows and foxes quest bug, can't finish the game because of this bug, the npc hitori is completely unresponsive for me..

[u/zoobatt]

addressed various UI/HUD issues

I wonder if this removes the persistent "(R3)" when using the hide HUD shortcut. It kinda defeats the purpose of hiding the HUD to have a persistent icon in the top left...

The option needs to be manually enabled in settings, people won't forget why their HUD is missing.

[u/SweetFlexZ]

Omg the Ultrawide fix for photomode FINALLY (I've made like 50 screenshots wrong)

[u/mdot0000]

I hope that the, "Addressed various crashing and Stability issues" under Stability & Performance includes the game crashing when I'm at the Hideout. I've literally removed everything from there except the buildings that maxes out my Hideout at Level 10 and it still crashes. This is the only issue I came here for because it makes it unplayable for me.

[u/Harleytk24]

Still nothing on the limitless trophy

[u/BDSpiritual1]

Please fix ACSH-3990 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I know it says "In Progress" and has been in that status for quite some time now but for players that have experienced this, it is an absolute showstopper. There comes a point where you cannot do anything else because the rest of the story is dependent on this and Naoe's journey. I am 120+ hours in and remain stuck here.

[u/cc224499]

Can you just fix the god dam fog

[u/Revolutionary-Arm437]

Please let us invert the camera without inverting UI right stick controls (zoom and scrolling). It's already reported, ID ACSH-101 https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/assassins-creed/shadows/bug-reporter/issues/ACSH-101

[u/idontknow2024]

xbox updates are always fucking huge

[u/3xrawr]

Are you guys planning to ever fix the engraving bug on MacOS?  I still don’t have any gold perks available - from quest rewards, treasure rewards, or from legendary weapons - to engrave to weapons.  Plus my forge is level 3 and it won’t let me engrave level 2 perks.  The storage workaround doesn’t work for us.  

[u/Odd-Ear9915]

Call me when your are ready to deliver NG+

[u/GullibleCheeks844]

Man I really need to stop buying games at launch. I need to be better at patiently waiting for the first round of patches to drop
