Status<\/p>\n
Two title updates have shipped on every platform since this was written: 1.0.6<\/strong> on 4 August 2026 (autosaves 5 \u2192 10, hide the blowpipe, Xbox 15.2 GB \/ PS5 5.03 GB \/ PC 3.7 GB) and 1.0.7<\/strong> on 1 September 2026 (hide pistols, Kenway’s Fleet menu crashes, store\/news crashes, Stede Bonnet and music after loading a save, region reveal after a 100 % fort sync). Consoles are no longer on 1.0.4. Where the text below says a bug is unfixed, check it against the 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 notes first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Update 1.0.5 for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced went live on July 23, 2026, as a PC-only download of roughly 183MB, and it targets stuttering rather than delivering a broad content patch. Ubisoft shipped it without a proper changelog, and the known issues list from Black Island’s missing side content is still very much unresolved. This piece covers exactly what 1.0.5 touched, what’s confirmed still broken from Ubisoft’s own tracker, and how PC crash reports are being handled by the community while an official fix is pending.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" TL;DR<\/p>\n The Steam announcement for 1.0.5 is short and to the point: Earlier today we released a PC Only patch (1.0.5) to alleviate stuttering issues experienced by some PC players. There’s no itemized changelog attached to it, which is unusual compared to the previous update. Reporting on the patch confirms the same thing from the outside: Ubisoft did not share any release notes for it, and the patch only aims to resolve the stutters that could occur on specific PC systems, and nothing more. That stands in contrast to Title Update 1.0.4, released on July 16, which shipped with a full list covering save\/load fixes, localization corrections for Simplified Chinese, Italian and Arabic, a dubbing issue affecting voiceover playback, and a fix for cutscenes locking to 30 FPS on Custom<\/a> graphics presets. Consoles never received 1.0.5: they stayed on Title Update 1.0.4 until 1.0.6 arrived on all platforms on 4 August, followed by 1.0.7 on 1 September.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"Title Update 1.0.4 (July 16, 2026): What It Fixed","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" Title Update 1.0.4 arrived on July 16, 2026, roughly a week after launch, as a stability and fix patch rather than a content drop. Download sizes varied widely by platform: 15.35 GB on Xbox Series X|S, 2.44 GB on PS5, 3.71 GB on PC through Ubisoft Connect and 2.7 GB on Steam.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"The Big Fixes","tag":"h3"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" Resynced made the original weather system more dynamic and realistic, but at launch it favoured storms far too often, ruining visibility and interrupting sea shanties. 1.0.4 increased the proportion of sun and clear skies and fixed a bug that stopped foggy weather from ever appearing.

Here’s the current state of the ones that matter most.<\/p>\n This is the one that actually matters if you’re chasing full completion. Ubisoft’s own tracker states that on Black Island, “Morgan’s Treasures” and “Midnight Moonshine” may sometimes remain unavailable to the player. Neither 1.0.4 nor the stutter-focused 1.0.5 addresses this, and there’s no separate hotfix note for it. If you’re grinding toward a full sync completion, this is worth checking before you sink hours into everything else on the island, since there’s currently no confirmed workaround beyond waiting for a future patch.<\/p>\n The rest of the open list is more of a friction problem than a wall. Background music may stop playing when opening the Patch Notes menu during gameplay, which is annoying but harmless. The double assassination prompt issue near the first power keg in “Mark the Kings at the Camp” can compromise a stealth run if you don’t already know the keg is there. Food vanishing in “A Second Chance,” the blocked eavesdrop in “Commodore Eighty-Sixed,” and the retriggering tutorials in “The Treasure Fleet<\/a>” are all cosmetic-to-mildly-annoying rather than progress-blocking.<\/p>\n Separately, one journalist flagged a more serious concern around launch: a warning not to leave any Templar Hunt sidequest chains unfinished because doing so produced a save-data glitch. This was reported by a single outlet around launch week rather than confirmed as a widespread pattern, and it’s unclear whether it still applies after 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 \u2014 treat it as a “finish what you start” caution rather than a confirmed ongoing bug.<\/p>\n Warning<\/p>\n If you’re aiming for 100% completion, don’t burn hours elsewhere assuming Black Island will sort itself out \u2014 the Morgan’s Treasures and Midnight Moonshine unavailability is still an open issue with no patch tied to it yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"PC Crash Fix Attempts: Community Reports, Not Confirmed Causes","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" Alongside the stutter that 1.0.5 targets, players have reported outright crashes and freezes, including a DX12 error some PC users encounter. None of the fixes below are official \u2014 they’re what’s circulating from players and troubleshooting sites, and Ubisoft hasn’t attributed the crashes to any of these specific causes.<\/p>\n\n
