5 Major Quest Fixes You Missed in the AC Black Flag Resynced Title Update 1.0.4 (Spoiler Alert!)

While AC Black Flag Resynced had the biggest launch-day opening in the franchise's history, the release was plagued by several bugs. It didn't stop Ubisoft from surpassing 100,000 concurrent players, but it did affect the overall playability. Following the new AC Player Count record, Ubisoft confirmed that the game would get its first major Title Update today, July 16. That said, here's everything announced in the AC Black Flag Resynced Title Update 1.0.4.

Quest Updates Players Have Been Waiting For in ACBFR (Spoiler Alert)

Ubisoft has acknowledged ACBFR bugs and issues in the campaign that were affecting players' overall progress. The AC Black Flag Resynced Title Update 1.0.4 revealed six issues across six different missions. Here are the ACBFR patch notes revealed:

Rift: Wayward Desires

A major issue that caused players to miss the second zipline when falling from the first has been addressed. The new fix will allow players to make a more accurate jump in the mission.

Imagine My Surprise and The Commander's Ruse

Another major issue that prevented players from completing both these missions simultaneously has been resolved in the ACBFR Title Update 1.0.4.

The Other Brother

The new fix for the mission will now prevent players from assassinating Upton Travers early, maintaining better mission continuity.

The Observatory

The race to The Observatory ended up being more buggy than exciting. The 1.0.4 ACBFR update now fixes the glitch that stopped your allies from arriving together with The Sage, Roberts.

A Governor No Longer

Two major issues arose when hunting for Governor Torres in AC Black Flag Resynced. The first problem blocked players with an Animus wall glitch, whereas the second issue is more gameplay-related. Players claimed that defeating El Tiburón was difficult because they couldn't break his defence. Ubisoft has now added hints on how to do it in the ACBFR patch notes.

The other issues mentioned in our AC Black Flag 1.0.4 patch preview will likely be resolved in a future update.
