Ubisoft has just released the latest patch 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced which brings tons of crucial improvements into the game ranging from fixes for performance and stability, cutscenes and lots of general gameplay refinements. So if you’re currently having FPS problems with Resynced, this patch can help make it run a little bit better along with fixes for several minor issues in the game’s lighting and textures.
One of the biggest inconsistencies of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was that all the cutscenes were locked at 30 FPS which made transitioning in and out of those feel quite jarring, as opposed to the original Black Flag where everything was seamless. Thankfully, the latest patch corrects this and now you’ll be able to enjoy the cutscenes with unlocked, maxed out FPS, making the overall experience much more smoother and consistent.
There’s also fixes for several in-game quests so if you’re currently running into some issues with them, applying this patch can take care of those for good.
