A short compiled list of bugs and glitches in Assassin's Creed 4: Black flag.
Like most big budget games,Assassins Creed 4 bandera negroIt is full of bugs and glitches. These oddities can either make a game much more interesting or completely break the game and make you unable to complete the game 100% or simply crash your last save.
This is a compilation of some of the most interesting hacks that I (and others on the Internet) have come across.black flag. If you found some, feel free to share them in the comments section below.
The Rise of the Grail
This one has many names, the best I found is "Ascensão da Gralha". I haven't personally seen this in-game, but it seems to happen more often on Big Inaqua Island. Other names I've seen are "Fun with Portals" and "Boat Fail".
This bug is interesting because it creates a big hole where the crow should be. Your crew will float in the air as if they are being held in one of those indoor skydiving systems as they and your craft slowly rise into the air.
The bug appears to be little more than an anomaly and does not appear to be groundbreaking.

Double Adéwalé
I located this error at the end of Sequence 03, Memory 01: That Captain Tyro. You return to the ship to locate Adéwalé, and as the cutscene begins, two of his quartermasters suddenly appear.
This glitch isn't groundbreaking either and just staged the scene with two Adys complete with an ecstatic frowning expression on one taking the wheel when Edward gets a little too close.

I was in a meltdown where my knees were on the floor and I could still move, I just sank deeper. It took me a while to get rid of it.

Assassin Creed Black Flag says load-load and does not load the next mission. It's 7 percent of the game.

I'm stuck and I can't get out, I'm about to start the game. When I cast, it just says "get a safe distance on target" or something like that, but no matter what I do, I lose sync and miss the target. Any ideas, or do I have to start over because I missed an important item or something?

I'm stuck in the real world at the office and I can't get back into the animus. I went to hack the security camera after getting level two authorization and there is no one in the camera view. I should be watching a conversation, but it's just the CCO's empty office. Every time I restart it's in the same place before I supposedly hacked the cameras. If I have to jump ship at 53%, I'm going to be upset.

After the main story unfolds, Anne will no longer issue orders as a boatswain and will only support herself. When I pushed her once after mating, her growl was that of a male. Adewale's dialogue can also be heard when he harpoons and does not change sentences.

So I was trying to do a Corozal assassin contract and my target is Fort Chinchorro. I already conquered this fort. When I tried to go up to use eagle vision, the screen went partially black, so I couldn't see my character, but I could still see the minimap, drop bombs and walk, etc. I tried to run away quickly but the same thing happened when I let go of my boat's rudder, help?!

I am currently facing a viewpoint error in Havana. I have synced all 8 and I can fast travel to each one but the game keeps telling me 7/8. So... I decided to resync them all just to be on the safe side, and an *already highlighted* ninth point of view appeared. I've tried going there and it's nothing. Underground. That was the biggest mistake so far. It keeps me 100% away from it. I also had an issue with taverns not showing up on the map, but YouTube helped me with that :) F'in Ubisoft.

Defeat the ships in Sequence 3, Storage 6, but don't go near the island. Half of the card is still blocked. Any idea? Ubisoft had no idea.

I don't like to use gimmicks and I like to start from scratch and work my way up.
I'm starting a new game and I've come to the part where I access Kenway's fleet and hope to capture ships again and send them on trade missions, but I started with a full fleet of ships (carrying lvl 60 Man at War) full diamonds and thousands of resources to trade. I know it sounds like "lucky guy" but for me it spoiled my game and I really enjoyed it.

This is a big bug I found when he was 83% done and 2 had to start over his killer contract #28 and I think you can find him in Salt Key Bank if you let the guy get away or he kills you or sends you no you will have another chance to pick it up and for the rest of the game it will tell other missions find the target or kill the target or something on the side of the screen. They removed a patch, but I don't have internet at home. I would really like to know this before I finish 83% of my game. You won't be able to get 100% and you won't get the swords, your supposed 2 for completing assassin's contracts!

I found out a long time ago that when you kill someone on a waterwheel, their body sticks like glue and spins over and over again. I also once landed my ship with the boarding mechanic due to a script error.

Hey guys. I had a problem with the game, when I arrived on the island of Nassau, the game was static on the loader side and did not work properly. I read other experiences with the same problem so I found a good solution that solves this problem, check the official Ubisoft forum at this linkhttps://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/43/4186/cannot-load-into-nassau-in-assassins-creed-iv-black-flag/kA030000000ejkOCAQ.Works fine for me. The video game is incredible.

It looks like Assassin's Creed Black Flag for Xbox One has a huge bug that makes the game unplayable and Ubisoft doesn't seem interested in getting it right. As some other reviews say, the game hits the Nassau fast travel loading screen and stays there. The Ubisoft website suggests uninstalling the game and downloading it from the Xbox. But the only thing that appears is the option to buy the game.
I have contacted Ubisoft support and have not received a response.
As far as I'm concerned, they committed fraud. I paid for something and didn't get it and they don't seem interested in making sure I get what I paid for. Fraud.
Pause poster below – In this mission you need to craft holsters and a health upgrade from the collected skins. He will pause to let you know. After crafting the items, the quest will end.
But that's where the Nassau trips bug kicks in, so I hope you're luckier than I was!
