Hello everyone

There has already been an overabundance of glitches and bugs threads flooding the forum, so it's better to have all these reports in one place.
This will make everything easier in terms of compiling a list of these glitches and finding solutions for them.

Consequently, please use this thread to report any glitches/bugs you've encountered in the game.

If you have advices or solutions for certain glitches, please post those in here as well.

Thank you

Man this is unacceptable, 4 years to make this game and it has this many problems, You guys looking to make a buck and also you guys put a beautiful women like Jade on the story to draw attention away from these problems. It has the potential to be the best game to date on next gen, But you guys rushed it.. I think for all of us consumers that spent time and big money should get a finished product. We would like a patch now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problems I have encountered playing the PS3 version using firmware version 2.00 (Also, I never play while logged onto PSN):

After gathering all information for the 4th assassination (which I chose as Damascus) and reporting to the assassin's bureau, the memory fast forward was activated and never stopped (entire screen was white and had memory fast forward text on left of screen). I could see the memory block bar update and if I used eagle vision, the white screen went away for a few seconds, only to return. Waited to see if it would go away, but ended up trying to quit game, which restarted my console.

While wondering around Jerusalem in an alley, I encountered major slowdown that persisted throughout the entire city. Slowdown did not affect audio, converstations would end long before the animations for them would. After restarting the game, the problem disappeared; even in the same area that caused the slowdown before. This leads me to belive that the slowdown reviewers are complaining about is caused as a software bug, and has nothing to do with the console's hardware.

I have encountered about 4 freezes in the game so far (I've been playing for about 8 hours). Two of which were wandering around the kingdom and didn't seem to be caused by any specific event. Another was while sprinting through Acre during a chase. The last was free running along the rooftops of Jerusalem. I believe three of the four freezes ocurred while I was mid-air. The funny thing about these freezes is that the camera can still be rotated and there is still audio (which does not loop like in a normal freeze).

This is an amazing game; it's just frustrating having to restart my console and wait through the long intro messages and loads.

Just in case I let something slip, I'll tag it for spoilers.

***SPOILERS***

The last level where I have to go to that area near Acre to chase down Robert keeps glitching for me. I've had a number of interesting glitches now. All these glitches occur just after the first cliff view, where you can see the hordes of soldiers. Then there is that stone bridge you pass under where you can see Assassin's running on top of it shortly before you get to the archers.

At this point, I have some weird glitches.

-The world behind me ... goes away. The camera moves for a second then everything behind me despawns, and if I backtrack, I fall through the world.

-TWO ALTAIRS: Yeah I've had it where I can see myself about 20 feet ahead of the character I control. The 2nd Altair has the exact same responses to my controls, except I can target him and (if I run him into a wall), kill him. Killing him kills me, sending me back to the beginning of the level. A very Prince of Persia classic-style situation, if it didn't make it impossible to complete the level.

Even if I exit out to the modern day and recontinue, I revert to the autosave that I think is corrupt. I've even turned off my console, reloaded and hit continue only to find the game having the same glitches. I'm scared to think that my save might have actually gone corrupt... of course it happens at the end of the game.

I'm not sure I have any other options, except maybe reverting to an older level to try to get a new save? Oh, also I am unable to leave the level as the game creates a wall.

I think jade is hot (((.

Oh and just to say... I have it for 360 and have not experienced a single problem.
no freezes, no major bugs which i have seen, And no slow down.

Good job ubi

Im havign trouble when you gotta assassinate the three guys from the 3 different cities....the investigation will not show up..at all... I've located al the Eagle-spots and "Show every objects" is turned on in the map... I have a deadlock now... What a ****!!!

I haven't finished but 2 missions and I have frozen three times.
- crossing from HQ to the Kingdom
- I get the loading screen for 10 minutes before I turn it off and scream
- and once with a fast forward moment and the screen goes white.

Pls tell me that they are working on some kind of patch or something.

oh yeah my version is either 1.90 or 2.0 I can't remember exactly.

Here is a list of the glitches I have encountered with the PS3 version:

1) I have had significant framerate drops and slow down within the city areas. Three occasions were near the assassin's dens in the cities, and they become so bad that it is almost unplayable. Usually one of the town criers talking about Saladin is nearby and I figured that was the cause of the slowdown. I assassinated one of them but it didn't fix the problem.

2) I have had 3 actual "white screens of death" and 3 times it has just refused to load a level when starting the game. Altair will be stuck in the "waiting room" (place with all the fog in the animus) and the level never loads and eventually Altair becomes unresponsive.

3) The game also suffers from severe screen tearing, popping, and clipping issues. I've fell through a wall once and also got stuck in a building. Objects will not gradually fade in at certain times and sometimes soldiers will just magically pop-in about 10 feet from Altair. Also, the tearing kinda sucks.

4) This isn't a complaint it is actually a praise: I just want to say that despite the NUMEROUS TECHNICAL ISSUES the game is an absolute blast to play. Heck, in between lock ups and glitches it is probably the most fun i've had playing a game in a long time. I just find it saddening to get my hands on the game after all these years and then be held back by totally avoidable technical issues.

I don't want to troll or spam or whatever, but surely Ubisoft can look at the product and concede that there is a problem and it must be fixed. Also, I think it is little bit late to start saying "It is the PS3's fault". When other developers like Infinity War and Naughty Dog are putting out games that match the competition or beat it then there really is no excuse for glitchy products hitting the market.

Ubisoft, I REALLY love the game. I do, I really really do, but the fact of the matter is that it suffers from so many problems that it begins to take away from the experience of the game. Heck, I have Beowulf (another Ubisoft title) and I love the heck out of that game and it doesn't have any graphical glitches or slowdown at all!

So, a patch or resolution or whatever would be greatly appreciated.

I do have Firmware 2.0, but there also people who have 1.93 and 1.94 who are also experiencing the problems as well.

EDIT: Oh, I just wanted to give a little bit of advice to some of the PS3 owners. If you do the "framerate fix" which can be found here:http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/10/14/a-quick-fix-for-improving-your-framerates/
it may solve the problem. I tried it and I haven't had any massive slowdown like before, but then again that could just be a fluke. Game still locks up a lot and the tearing and clipping/tearing issues are still kinda bad.

Just wanted to pass that bit of advice along to see if people want to try it. Still, if properly optimized for the hardware we wouldn't have to do this anyways now would we?

no major bugs just a few popping issues...
and my xbox is running cool too

MAJOR Bug. Shocking.

I made a thread about it because it's so horrifying.

That was just sad , i wish that all the system owners could be happy and not scared with a game. Yes the PS3 verison have framerate issues, popups, even artifacts.it's ok if Ubisoft wants to leave us on a side ( we already know this and thx ozzy_t to remember me this, indeed on the manual we still have the "press the back button" and we don't have a back button ) but at least i wish that we could play and not have a freeze every 5 minutes

And i wish peace for all really

I bought the assassin`s creed yesterday and i`ve encountered during the 8 hours i`ve been playing 1 freezing when running on the rooftops in which the character stopped and started floating in the air, camera and sounds still worked but nothing else and when i tried to shut the game, my playstation rebooted. I have also encountered one total crash during gameplay in which the screen went black and i couldnt restart my ps3, i had to take the power off from the main switch. I have also been suffering from horrible inconsistent framerates from the beginning and they still continue, gameplay is very laggy sometimes the fps drops propably under 10, massive screentearing,for example sometimes top of the tower can be several centimeter from its body. There has also been a lot of texture popping just few meters away from the game character, even on foot everywhere in the game. My Playstation has the newest 2.0FW, i`ve checked the disk for scratches and smudges which there are none. My display is samsung syncmaster 22" 226bw whick has worked brilliantly on every other game i have played so im pretty certain that all these problems come from the game itself, i really like this game but all the problems above are really ruining it for me.

Freezing/crashing

I play on PS3. I just got it last night and in 3 hours it crashed/froze on me twice.

i have had the game freeze up on me yesterday but the more shocking part was the dissapearance of the world

i was in the kingdom map going from viewpoint to viewpoint on my way to damascus when i went to the one that is at the dead-end path south of the starting city

and when i came past the bend the landscape was gone , i just had what looked like floating rocks, trees and buildings even the viewpoint tower was floating like somemone erased that part of the map

i climbed the viewpoint tower to sync my map, did the leap of faith and jumped on my horse and then i frooze. the console reset itself

i've heard of ppl having the same issue in the same area

btw this is the ps3 version

maybe there is a memory leak going on?

Exactly. I am having no problems with AC on my 360. I don't have a clue what the PS3 people are talking about, lol. Sucks for them, I guess. So far everything has been really smooth and no issues at all.

Very weird... The PS3 is havin major issues with this game I thought it would be rock solid on the PS3 and **** on the 360.

My 360 version has only slight issues of twice thu out the game I fell in between a gap and got stuck. The only other was a major slow down in one of the cities but only within about a 20m radious of the assasins beurau.

Looks like im not buying this for the PS3 then...

BTW my 360 is taken apart and only the metal chassis remains with the mobo and fans in and its been flawless for me apart from the above. Just incase any 360 owners are havin issues.

Oh and my HDD is not plugged in only the MC.. but i sometimes see guards and people just appear but that might be because its not buffered on the HDD.
