I've been here a while, but this is the first I've heard of this issue! How annoying. I'll add it to the list of bugs I've made.Originally Posted by jokerwanted Go to original post
Lot to unpack with this one, let me bullet-point it.Originally Posted by kinni420 Go to original post
- I thought NO-ONE got initiative with throwing knives any more. Are you saying you can, but only sometimes?
- This could just be bad luck, but I'd imagine you're reluctant to try again to find out. Can you tell me how often this has happened?
- That's Edward Kenway's 'Freerunning Grandmaster' ability, right? New to me, but I'll add it to my list of bugs.
- Luciano... yeah. He got hit HARD with this update
- Intel issue... again, sucks for those who have it.
- Region 5 issues? Is that because of everyone's lower stats?
- Visual issues... again, sucks, but that's probably the least important problem. So watch them fix it first!
- The crashing is awful and I have the utmost sympathies for anyone who's experienced it.
- I've never heard of the achievement issue, but given Ima_Smakya experienced it too, I'd gather it's an old issue that doesn't crop up very often and just happens to have hit you at JUST the wrong time. I'll absolutely add it to my list, but hopefully if you follow Smakya's example, it'll be a relatively straightforward fix.
This update has been... very selective about who it's benefited. I appear to be one of the VERY lucky few for whom it's an improvement, and from what I can tell, it's because I'm playing on an older device (a Samsung Galaxy S5) which was crashing all the time due to the previous major update, 2.8.0.
I appreciate this isn't an option for many of you, but if you can, try to play the game on older devices - with a bit of luck, it should mitigate the crashing issues, though all the other bugs are still there, so...
This is my list of bugs (mostly) introduced in patch 2.9.0, reposted here to provide maximum visibility.
Thanks to Ima_Smakya for clarifying a few points.
Let me know if there's any more bugs that I've missed and I'll add them.

GENERAL BUGS
- Several players have lost their save data, forcing either a Facebook sync or (if that is not an option) a complete restart
- Screen displays in a smaller window on certain devices (OnePlus 6T, Galaxy S10)
- Intel Rooms displaying a 'Cannot Collect Intel - Your Storage is Full' message when this isn't the case
- Turkish language has several letters (İ, ı, ç, ü, ö, ş, ğ) not displaying correctly
- Many, many visual glitches - these are numerous, but in the grand scheme of things aren't super important
- Completing achievements may not give players the correct rewards (Helix Credits in particular)
GENERAL CHARACTER ISSUES
- When using the 'auto' feature in missions, characters will frequently no longer use their best abilities
- All characters will display the yellow exclamation marks indicating there's better equipment for them to use when there isn't - this appears to be specific to certain pieces of equipment, like the T5 swords or 'Daeva Pelt'
- General reduction in stats for various characters, most noticeably the DPS (red) characters
[UbiBunny has stated this is not a bug, but an intentional design choice by the development team]
- Several stealth (blue) characters can no longer use hiding spots to sneak past/kill enemies (Luciano in particular)
- Assassin characters who use Hidden Blades as their main weapon no longer deal two sets of damage, only one
- Number of 'charges' for certain character abilities isn't displayed at the bottom of the screen before entering a room
- If an enemy dies due to bleeding out/poison/counter-attacks, the death animation doesn't play (though they DO die)
- AoE attacks and Healing abilities now have a chance of missing
- If a healed character is damaged, any damage dealt to them might ignore any restored health, potentially killing them
- Revealing far-off rooms will frequently cause the camera to get stuck on the revealed room, preventing progress
- Using throwing knives no longer guarantees initiative (used to be 100% guaranteed, now no longer is)
- Throwing knives now seem to trigger a slow-motion effect (similar to Leaps of Faith), which can be visually glitchy
- Attempting to sell the new legendary weapons will only give you 1 gold
- Skill checks that display at 95% seem to fail much more often than before
SPECIFIC CHARACTER ISSUES
- Al Mualim's 'Mentor's Gift' ability no longer shows a 100% chance of success when used on himself (may only be visual)
- Flora's 'Crippling Strike' ability no longer reduces enemy's attack (it even displays "-0% ATTACK" when used)
- Beatriz's 'Maiming Sweep' ability no longer consistently applies Bleed damage to multiple enemies, just the first one
- Edward Kenway's 'Freerunning Grandmaster' ability no longer works 100% of the time as intended
- Gaspar's 'Field Doctor' ability will cause characters to LOSE health if used after his 'Vitality of the Covenant' ability
- Luisa's 'Lethargic Poison' ability no longer stacks due to increased Recharge Time
- Maria's 'Nimble Opponent' ability no longer works, period
EVENT SPECIFIC ISSUES
- In the Dead Men's Gold mission 'Blood and Thunder', the game crashes after defeating the final enemy and watching him jump overboard, causing the 21 Rift Tokens spent to play the mission to be lost
- One enemy type (the dagger-wielding Spanish soldiers) no longer has any textures, displaying as all grey
- If a chest is in the same room as an enemy, the prompt to open the chest will appear before the enemy is killed
- After dodging an enemy shooting at you, the enemy will always have initiative
[The three above issues appear to be specific to the Dead Men's Gold event, but I won't delete them in case I'm wrong]
- In the Mask of the Iblis mission 'The Bounty of Thoth', engaging Auto mode causes the game to soft-lock
[UbiBunny has already acknowledged this issue and confirms it's being looked at]
- General crashes seemingly at random (this seems to only be the case on NEWER devices, strangely)

We are working on getting as many of these issues fixed as we can in our next patch.
Thank you all for your reports!

-After dodging an enemy shooting at you, the enemy will always have initiative Has this been proven to occur %100 of the time?
I can confirm this one. I had to take Alvaro and Claudia on M5 of DMG instead of Sync Heroes after failing 5 times in a row. The enemy initiative was causing me to wipe over and over with the current stat reductions glitch.
- Completing achievements may not give players the correct rewards (Helix Credits in particular) This one is new to me, do you have more details or screenshots?
I had to deal with this awhile back, my response post is on page 6 of this thread. Unfortunately I deleted my screenshots but they were attached to my ticket thru Ubisoft.com, as that's the only way to submit screenshots to support without email. They might be on file.
Mmm all heroes, for example Aguilar in screenshots of this post:Originally Posted by Ubi-Bunny Go to original post
