This is pathetic. Just pathetic. STOP trying to meet some artificial release deadline with crap code folks. You are seriously alienating your customer base. If you don't believe me ask Todd Howard how Fallout 76 and whether they have even made their money back yet.

@landmine70 Pretty sure it won't 'trigger' until you have qty. 4 of the medallions to give him simultaneously and qty. 6 of the pages. One of the other ones was like that too... Black Flag maybe... hmm.. well anywho... give it a shot once you have 4 medallions (don't forget you already gave one away before the bureau existed. Good luck because remember nothing is certain.

@rumenrs Good Christ almighty! This is one of the worse Beta test....oh.... wait... this is supposed to be the finished game!!! You have GOT to be kidding me. I have an Xbox One X with a OLED 4k TV and made sure HDR mode was enabled. Didn't help. The hair effects... seriously? In 2020? Mass Effect 2 had better hair effects and that game is almost 15 years old.

@thunderwolf0909 Bwaahahaha.... that isn't a 'solution' that's an embarrassment this slipped through. No way they didn't trip on this if they did real player Beta testing properly. Having to uninstall the application code does not qualify as a 'solution' to any respectable code writer and application integrator. Not knocking you and you came up with a work around, thus serious thumbs up from the player community! Just don't give them too much credit that a work-around you came up with is a 'solution' to THEIR problem. Cheers!

Okay folks let's get real here. Your patch notes for 1.0.4 indicate you are touching nearly every aspect of the game to fix major problems. That is, well, embarrassing honestly. Your patch list reads a heck of a lot like the 'scrub' lists from Beta testing BEFORE you compile to ship. Hopefully, this will address the many, oh so many, issues with this game. Please note... I'm getting very close to never pre-purchasing one of your games again. I'll wait a year for the fixes to be put in AND get it at a discount price.

@sofajockey Are you being sarcastic? Asking honestly because I have literally played every single AC game (yes even those crappy 'international' games that look completely retro) and so far this is the worst game mechanics I've run into. Won't even get into the bugs that are simply beyond legion (this really feels like some of the open and closed Beta playing I've done for a variety of game developers).

@saephire For a 2020 game? The water effects are atrocious. Check out RDR2, Subnautica, hell AC Black Flag and they were all better graphics for water effects.

@sofajockey A good list of things!! Are you f'ing kidding? The patch notes read like a 'bug scrub' during Beta testing! They are touching basically every aspect of the game. Flat out embarrassing it what it is. Honestly, if I were one of the code kiddies on this game I would lie about it and not tell anyone.

@mayc_ I assume that is the PC version? When you enable HDR (4k graphics for games) in the Xbox One X you don't have any other controls other than brightness basically.

I've run into an issue that during the fight scene with The Builder's summoning the game crashes and either locks the video screen or crashes fully back into the Xbox OS. This is repeatable (unavoidable actually).
During game play of first round after shield has turned red and attackers are getting through. The 'boss' of that and I are in a close quarters melee after he 'teleports' nearby and the game will literally lock-up. The Xbox OS continues to run and I can jump out and 'quit' the game there. However, this is the 3rd time in a row that I've restarted from the 'battle re-launch' save after trying to just reload the auto-save multiple times and the same thing happens. I've tried mixing up battle techniques (dodge and crossbow vs. in tight and axe fight in a phone-booth vs. 'stick and move') doesn't affect result. Don't have a specific timing in seconds after battle begins, but I know it isn't 'exact same' each time, but it does 'feel' close enough that maybe I've reached a particular 'plateau' in the battle mechanics and it pukes going to a cut-scene maybe? Suggestions welcome.
