Ubisoft's Title Update 1.0.4 for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced fixes the disappearing Jackdaw bug that left players stranded after upgrading their ship at the Harbourmaster. The issue where upgrading the Jackdaw while docked could cause it to disappear, leaving players without their ship, is now resolved. This guide covers every major bug fix in the patch, how to avoid<\/a> similar issues, and what changed in the weather system, quest blockers, and performance.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" TL;DR<\/p>\n The disappearing ship bug occurred when upgrading the Jackdaw while docked could cause it to disappear, leaving players without their ship. This happened specifically when visiting a Harbourmaster in any port town, purchasing upgrades through the Upgrade Ship menu, and then returning to the dock to find the Jackdaw gone. The bug effectively stranded Edward<\/a> Kenway on whatever island or city the player happened to be visiting, making naval travel impossible and blocking story progress. All upgrades are purchased through any Harbourmaster in the Upgrade Ship menu, so the issue affected a core progression mechanic. Without a ship, players could not complete naval missions, reach new locations, or engage in the piracy that defines most of Black Flag Resynced's gameplay loop.<\/p>\n\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"How to Fix the Disappearing Jackdaw Bug in AC Black Flag Resynced","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"\n\n Title Update 1.0.4 for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced released on July 16th, 2026 at 14:00 UTC \/ 10:00 AM EST \/ 7:00 AM PST. The patch is mandatory and applies automatically when you launch the game. If your Jackdaw disappeared before the patch, there is no official word on whether affected saves can be recovered, though some players reported the ship reappearing after fast-traveling or reloading an earlier save. The safest approach is to ensure your game is updated to version 1.0.4 or later before continuing any Harbourmaster shopping trips. Patch sizes are Xbox Series X|S: 15.35 GB, PlayStation 5: 2.44 GB, PC: 3.71 GB, Steam: 2.7 GB. Once installed, the bug is eliminated and upgrading the Jackdaw no longer triggers the disappearing ship issue.<\/p>\n\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"Step-by-Step: Safely Upgrading Your Ship Post-Patch","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"steps","intro":"Follow this sequence to get it done fast.","steps":[{"title":"Verify your game version","description":"Check that Title Update 1.0.4 or later is installed by looking at the version number in the main menu settings or by confirming the patch downloaded on your platform.","image":null},{"title":"Visit any Harbourmaster","description":"To upgrade the Jackdaw, visit a Harbourmaster in any town where they are available, marked on your map with a ship icon, in ports like Nassau, Salt Key, or Great Inagua.","image":null},{"title":"Select Upgrade Ship","description":"Speak to them and select the Upgrade Ship option to access the full upgrade menu and spend Reales, Metal, Wood, and Cloth on the upgrades you can afford.","image":null},{"title":"Exit the menu and confirm the Jackdaw is still docked","description":"After purchasing upgrades, leave the shop and walk back to the pier to verify the ship remains visible and accessible.","image":null},{"title":"Upgrade the Great Inagua Harbourmaster for higher tiers","description":"Pay the man on the pier 500 Reales to build the Harbourmaster, then pay 2,500 Reales for Level II and 5,000 Reales for Level III; Level III unlocks access to every upgrade tier.","image":null}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"All Major Fixes in Title Update 1.0.4","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" The disappearing ship was the headline fix, but it shipped alongside a much longer list: quest blockers that stranded progression, a weather rebalance nobody asked for, and a set of PC-specific fixes.<\/p>\n\n
