Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood patch to correct 'Animus bug'
Ubisoft has announced an upcoming title update for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood that should spur stalled multiplayer matchmaking, restore PlayStation 3 Trophy acquisition and give the notorious Animus bug the boot. And that one's a detrimental glitch, mind you. If you've played Brotherhood's online component, you'll know that a lot of the bugs, cheats and exploits used by Abstergo employees in Animus simulations are features, first and foremost.
Due to arrive "very soon," Title Update 3 aims to free players who get stuck either during the match search process, or in the Animus seat when they visit the 2012 timeline in the single-player campaign. It'll also address a fast travel glitch in Rome and a bug that can prevent PS3 players from unlocking further trophies after a certain point in the game.
You can see a more detailed list of fixes after the break. We'll let you know as soon as the update becomes available on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
Multiplayer
"Sometimes players may remain stuck during matchmaking (game never starts)."
"In extremely rare occasions, a crash may occur if another player of the same session quits while another player is loading the map at the exact same time."
"When joining a session In Manhunt, in the chased team, you may have a sound present during the entire session."
Single player
"The player may remain stuck in the present optional (2012), in a spawning loop in Monterigioni, while interacting with the Animus (Animus Bug)."
"Using fast travel towards Northern Campagna may result in Ezio getting continuously desynchronized."
"Sometimes a bug can occur that prevents the player from unlocking any additional Trophies (Trophy Bug)."
"On rare occasion, if the player changes their outfit at the completion of a mission, they will respawn in the same world, being stuck, without any possibility of returning to Rome."
