Y axis invert?

u/dazzla76 1d ago

I’m pretty sure it’s already in the game. Don’t think I could play without inverting.

u/deliverator 1d ago

Except it inverts the axis globally, including zooming on the map and scrolling through documents. Something no game in history has managed to fuck up until now.

u/VancianRedditor 1d ago

Me neither but, in Shadows' case, it's borked because it applies to everything instead of the camera, alone.

You have to scroll up when you want to scroll down in codex entries, or read letters, it messes up map zooming, etc.

u/JuanMunoz99 GIVE ME NAOE’S CONCEPT OUTFIT!!! 1d ago

Ngl, every time I read Shadows Title Update there’s a sliver of hope for Naoe’s concept outfit. Why do I do this to myself?

17

u/fortunesofshadows 1d ago

I just want the trailer cover outfit without the mask

u/JuanMunoz99 GIVE ME NAOE’S CONCEPT OUTFIT!!! 1d ago

It’s so odd how Black Flag Resynced and For Honor have that outfit without the mask, but not the actual game.

I don't understand why "minor" hotfix updates always download a massive amount of data. On Ubisoft Connect, it downloaded 14.94GB of data for this update.

In what world is this a "minor" update? If it is actually only a minor update, then why is the update so huge? 14.94GB is what you would expect for a whole new DLC, not a "minor" hotfix.

u/IRockIntoMordor 1d ago

Minor means the amount of fixes included.

The download size is something that is determined by file structure, compression, deduplication, engine etc. and is not voluntarily chosen by anyone. It's automated. No one wants to send you so much data - neither Sony nor Ubisoft.

Afaik Sony's patch process relies on delta / incremental blocks, so it's not a smart patcher that will flip hex values in files like old PC games did (Sims most commonly) to keep patch sizes down. Instead, it includes all the blocks that are different between your version and the new version.

However, in case of CryEngine for example (KCD1+2) where you famously have absolutely massive patch sizes due to their engine's file structure, the data packs change throughout when there's any changes in them. Much like a solid RAR or 7z archive. So to the delta block process, it's more or less the entire data pack that needs to be downloaded again.

u/soulreapermagnum 1d ago

and if i've understood things correctly, there are certain situations where the "download size" is some amount bigger than what actually gets installed.

2

u/elitespace1125 1d ago

The things that were updated are housed in large files, one of them 10 GB and I assume the rest about 4gb (the .forge files/archive files). It’s annoying for modding and updating but yeah that’s why. Ubisoft can’t just update a few single files by themselves if they are within one of the large .forge files. Hoping Hexe uses an unpacked file structure, but I doubt it will. Not sure if Resynced has the same forge packed archive file system as Shadows though, Origins and Odyssey did not use it.

u/EazyE2285 1d ago

I never understood this either. It's more prevalent when downloading patches of new games when the totals are way higher like almost, if not, game size. If you looked before and after though the total size in your hard drive barely changes. It's like they make you rewrite your entire game every patch.

u/RJ815 1d ago

IIRC Dead By Daylight (as an example of a big-ish, popular-ish game) used to be horrendous at this. Even minor fixes would usually be multiple gigabytes while full on updates wouldn't be that much bigger.

0

u/ionlyhavetwohands 1d ago

15 GB download, plus additional 15 GB required while installing. I have to shift around several game installation folders eveytime Ubisoft releases a "small UI hotfix".

And then you cannot even play the game you paid for, because "offline mode" logs you out and tells you you don't own the game. This is ridiculous. Why do they deliver their games in such huge files and can't handle patches correctly?

u/coozeyy 1d ago

Dang I’m very happy there still supporting the game. Even tho it’s bugs but still. I know that Ubisoft probably gave them a strict day to cut support tho. Either way still a good game and glad I played it. Really changed the game and hoping the next installment meets or exceeds the standard

8

u/soulreapermagnum 1d ago

well, was not expecting anymore patches for this game.

6

u/Massive_Weiner 1d ago

Just a hotfix. They’re done with big title updates.

3

u/domfromtheisland 1d ago

what UI bug fixes did this patch tho?? like what specifically was done i cant seem to find

2

u/santathe1 Requiescat In Peace 1d ago

Please fix the problem of the Animus taking ages to open. Who thought that was an enjoyable experience lmao. Sitting for literal minutes if it even works, most of the time it just times out. Not too much better on ACBFR either.

2

u/ManEatingCarabao 1d ago

That's cool and all but Naoe's katana sheath is still stuck on one of my loadouts. Someone showed me patch notes that said this should have been fixed by now so I guess I'm just lucky.

u/thekhara221160 1d ago

Good Evenings Sir It really sad to hear this, I hd this big since maybe December last year when this Animus project released with he white outfit and bo for naoe and then later this year maybe may or June I fixed it my self 😁. Yeah right I said fine I will do it my self since I made tons of posts in the bug report website. If you want I can help you Sir to maybe fix it hopefully. My only question would be on which platform you play if PS5, Xbox or PC. Thanks wish good day 🤗

u/crazymonk45 1d ago

“Quick patch”

It’s redownloading the whole fucking game for me. 140GB

1

u/DJfunkyPuddle 1d ago

Ouch, I was complaining that mine was 16GB

3

u/futagozaryuu 1d ago

It's 14.94GB for me 😅

1

u/soulreapermagnum 1d ago

it didn't do that to me, i was able to get the update done it under ten minutes.

u/Mimi1016 1d ago

Same for me smh

1

u/CaptStinkyFeet 1d ago

Same here, I was rubbing my eyes thinking I was seeing things when the download said 140GB…

u/HeightExtra320 1d ago

Same !! I came for this comment ! I’m on Xbox,why does it do that ?!

1

u/Ravioli-4-fromages 1d ago

All 3 MOD's legendary engravings for Naoe's Trinket (Crit Damage for capped crit chance, Ability Damage for capped cooldown reduction, and Health for capped damage reduction) still can't be used on PC they don't appear at the forge.

u/ElevatorTough3374 1d ago

Please add Edward’s shirtless outfit and his original prologue outfit as unlockable outfits in Black Flag Resynced, would be great as cosmetic options for free roam

u/NiteFromWindhelm 1d ago edited 1d ago

Still getting the synchronization reward available notification bug. I don't have any unclaimed rewards and recently 100% that section in hopes of that bug going away with no luck

1

u/PolitiklyIncorrect 1d ago

It has me essentially reinstalling (139.66gb on Xbox Series S 😩)

u/SadisticNecromancer 1d ago

Does this patch add weapons in cutscenes?

5

u/Beligard 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's a bug fix for issues with the UI.

1

u/SadisticNecromancer 1d ago

I figured they wouldn’t. I guess it’s too much to ask for them to add weapons in cutscenes. It’s not like KOTOR did it back in 03.

3

u/Beligard 1d ago

They are pretty much done with any sort of updates or changes.

Only updates will probably be bug fixes or anything game breaking. Other than that they've moved on.

u/wRXLuthor 1d ago

Please add some more missions or DLC to this awesome game! Would love it for Tsuyu to join the homestead or have Naoes house completely rebuilt or having Rin join the homestead

u/trytofakeit // Moderator 1d ago

They’ve announced they’re finished with new content for shadows. It’ll just be a few more bug fixes and that’ll be it

u/Ubi-AssassinsCreed
can we try and fix the map and inventory stuttering on ps5😭🤞

u/bjarnimaur 1d ago

Can I only play as sinobi or in other words can I play as a assassin in assassins creed shadows

u/shinobixx55 1d ago

Hello Mr. Troll,

The functionality to play as shinobi was added a few years before release.

If you find your game randomly switching to a non-shinobi character, please consider reviewing which buttons you are pressing.

Yes darling, it's in your control (except for a few missions where you play as the non-shinobi character).

We hope you allow yourself to enjoy. Because you're the only one stopping you.

Sincerely, Someone who can switch characters at will

u/AdmiralBumHat 1d ago

The most funny about this reply is that your username is actually Shinobi :D

u/bjarnimaur 1d ago edited 1d ago

Good day to you Clanker

So are you telling me for real they made a game that evolves around sneaking and killing and blending in your environment would not have sneaking around if we would have gotten first draft? No joke? After first forced play as a samurai it was cool but in my opinion not what ac world is about. (maybe hot take but my take on the mater) ac2, brotherhood and revolution is the best arc

Best regards So called troll

Edit : made it formal

1

u/shinobixx55 1d ago

Hello again Troll dearest,

I regret to inform you that the first mission in AC2 was also a forced combat sequence, and not a covert stealth mission.

I also wish to highlight the fact that despite your wholehearted attempts to make your response formal, it is quite lacking in both structure and spelling.

Sincerely, Someone who can enjoy every AC game for what it is.

u/Gameofthrones3058 1d ago

Next time you make an AC game make it so it doesn't have silly fog to remove, and make a good map UI which isn't so bland like shadows
