Ubisoft will shut down the online services for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed III shortly. They also said that it means you can no longer play the DLC for these games.
The Da Vinci Disapperance will become unplayable and The Tyranny of King Washington will become unplayable as well.
This is an incredibly bad decision. Ubisoft is basically stealing money from players. ToKW was a paid dlc and you can no longer play it after september 1st. It's a [censored] crime
So a few months ago a reliable source leaked that Ubisoft Sofia was developing a shorter spinoff game like Freedom Cry set during the third crusade, codenamed "Assassin's Creed: Knighthood" or alternatively "Project King Richard" and was scheduled for release next year. The game was said to have semi-linear hub levels in the style of Tomb Raider and Deus Ex instead of being fully open world. It was also reported that it would have featured Jerusalem, Constantinople, Venice and Cyprus. Plus Altaïr and his wife Maria Thorpe would have appeared as side characters in this game. But unfortunately the project was scrapped due to issues caused by the covid pandemic. It was then reported that it will instead be reworked into more dlc's for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.
So what do you think? Will we see a dlc set during the crusades next year, or has Ubisoft just abandoned the entire thing alltogether? Personally I would love to see some content set during the crusades, especially if we get to see Altaïr again. Would be even better if his younger son Sef (Desmond's next ancestor) appeared, as his face has never been shown in the games, unlike Darim.
Warning, do not download the latest drivers from Nvidia. They will break your game. With the latest drivers my whole damn GPU crashes while playing Valhalla. I'm not kidding. After a while of playing I get a Windows 10 bluescreen with a hardware error and then my pc abruptly reboots and runs on the motherboard graphics processor for a while before GPU functionality is restored. It is definitely the drivers' fault because this [censored] started to happen as soon as I installed them. It is weird though. The driver bug only affects Valhalla. Other games still work fine.
1.6.0 patch works normally for me. It downloaded today and I don't have any issues with it. I'm playing on Windows 10 btw if that helps.
The opponent in your settlement is impossible to beat. He will nearly always get an almost full or full row of yellow dice at the beginning while I don't have such luck. He will then spam Thor's strike at me so much that it is impossible to recover from it anymore with the little offerings I have managed to gather. A couple of times I got lucky and managed to reduce his health to just 2 stones by using a full row of axe and arrow dice and then adding in Thor's strike. But then he uses that [censored] ability that allows him to gain health for every blocked. He then conveniently gets a row of special dice that allows him to steal nearly all my offerings and then he spams thor's strike repeatedly until I lose.
10 [censored] times I played and I lost all 10 matches. The Orlog AI in the Ravensthorpe settlement is a [censored] cheater. There's just no way he can always get such a good row of dice.
I'm unable to complete the raid in Haervik Shipyard. I kill all enemies in there and loot all the valuables but the raid won't be completed as it should.
Once again the new patch gave me a new bug that I didn't have before and fixed none of my previous problems. Do the devs not test the patches before releasing them?
Now, nearly everytime when I collect iron ore, a notification about a new quest pops up. But this quest has no name and no description. And if I track it, it just leaves an empty box visible in the map screen, though it disappears when I track an actual quest.
Go on. Just watch the video to see the most ridiculous bug you've ever seen:
@zkg0007 So you're saying they basically released patch 1.6.0 again today because it didn't work earlier? Well, then there's a chance the bug would have occurred to me too but I can't know it since I didn't test it earlier. Anyway, I'm happy that my game still works. It sucks when a patch breaks a game instead of fixing it.
@hroozenbeek They do appear out of thin air. Happened to me 3 times when I tried to clear that heavily guarded area in the center of the fort. I just moved to a new position to get a better shot with the predator bow and during that time when I moved all the enemies I killed had been replaced by new ones. Ok so I killed them a second time and again new enemies spawn just a few moments later when I move to a new spot. I eventually got frustrated and just called a raid and let my crew kill them for me. Origins and Odyssey didn't have infinitely respawning guards in forts so I find this to be very strange. Did Ubisoft make it like this on purpose or is it a bug?
@CalKestis103 Well said. In my opinion Ubisoft is actually starting to resemble Abstergo now. It's so ironic.
@Keeestra What they are doing is a crime in any EU country at least. It's against the EU law to sell a digital product and then take it away from the consumer without offering anything in return. But currently it seems like Ubisoft is giving out conflicting information. Ubisoft reportedly told to IGN that you will not lose access to purchased content if you already own them, while at the same time they officially tell everyone that you won't be able to play the dlc anymore. Are they trying to create confusion on purpose or what is it? Either way, gamers must not let Ubi get away with this move or else other big game companies will start doing the same in the future.
The Aztec "leak" is very likely not even true. Unless it's a super secret project that Ubisoft has managed to hide completely, which I doubt very much. A reliable leaker said he has heard about the first two chapters of the upcoming Assassin's Creed Infinity and he said it definitely doesn't involve Aztecs in any form. As for the other AC title called Rift which is supposed to release before Infinity, he said it will be Baghdad in 9th or 10th century, and it will be heavily centered on the Hidden Ones. Just like the earlier leaks have told us.
@HIDDEN1NE Can't say if it happens in every house but I've seen it happen so often that I'm sure it's a bug.
@HIDDEN1NE Except it isn't always raining in my game. Rain happens randomly as it should. So my bug is probably different than the one you mentioned.
It's kind of amazing that this game has been out since 2020 and this bug is still not fixed. Whenever it is raining in the game world, it's also raining inside houses. Big buildings like churches or castles are normal but when you go inside a regular house during rain, it's just raining right through the roof. It's kinda immersion breaking when people's homes are getting soaked. This is especially true when there are npc's inside. They just completely ignore the fact that their roof appears to be full of holes
@Ubi-Keo It looks like my issue might be resolved. Not 100% sure yet but yesterday the game worked fine again. It has been most likely a server issue with Ubisoft Connect. Because when this happened, I also noticed that roughly half of the images on the Ubisoft Connect news tab didn't load at all, and also the image on the title update 1.5.3. announcement in the Assassin's Creed Valhalla game page was just blank and showed an infinite loading circle. Since yesterday, the images in Ubi Connect suddenly started loading normally again and the fps drops in Valhalla were also gone.
@Ubi-Keo Already did that. Not working.
@ubisushivamp Yes I did all the steps in that guide. Nothing helps. Not even clean boot.
@cosmicgenesis7 And btw there is proof that this is illegal. Check out this site: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/index_en.htm: (https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/index_en.htm)
There's a quote on the site that says: "Under EU rules, a trader must repair, replace, reduce the price or give you a refund if goods you bought turn out to be faulty or do not look or work as advertised."
And: "If you bought a product or a service online or outside of a shop (by telephone, mail order, from a door-to-door salesperson), you also have the right to cancel and return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification."
So basically when you sell a digital product and then remove access to it without giving anything in return is against the law in any EU country.
