Black Flag Resynced Post-Launch Patch & Known Issues

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launched July 9, 2026 with **Day One Patch 1.002** — but launch week feedback from Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox communities surfaced additional bugs Ubisoft is addressing in the **first post-release patch**, expected around **July 16, 2026** per MP1ST and industry reporting. Producer Justin Ng confirmed on X that teams are "already working on fixes that will be rolling out very soon," including PC cutscene frame-rate locks and localized voice-over sync issues affecting some territories. This page tracks confirmed incoming fixes, open known issues, and temporary workarounds until the patch ships.

Confirmed Incoming Fix — PC Cutscene 30 FPS Lock

Ubisoft acknowledged via Steam News and official social channels that **cutscenes lock to 30 FPS on PC** when Raytracing, BVH Quality, or Terrain Quality are set to **Ultra High** manually — even if overall gameplay runs higher. The post-launch patch will resolve this. **Temporary workaround:** reset the graphics **Overall Preset** to any pre-configured profile (Minimum through Extreme) and avoid manually setting those three options to Ultra High. See our PC performance guide for stable settings that preserve 60 FPS gameplay and cutscenes until the fix lands.

Other Issues Ubisoft Is Working On

• Localization: Voice-over misalignment with cutscene visuals in some localized versions — Chinese dubbing sync was specifically cited in China-region apologies
• Double Assassination prompt may fail to appear in certain combat scenarios
• Jackdaw diving bell upgrade can disappear from the upgrade tree if purchased while docked, blocking a quest that requires it
• Enemy rope dart detection at out-of-range distances compromising stealth
• Looting ammo crates in "Mystery of the Old Map" despite highlight prompts
• El Huracan duel — unclear defeat conditions for some players (requires specific approach pattern)
• Money throw distraction — press and hold the tool button to scatter civilians and create chaos

Quest Blockers — Workarounds Before the Patch

• The One with the Gun (show Lucy around the village): avoid straying off the scripted branch path or reload a prior checkpoint
• Devil's Eye Caverns: do not desynchronize and respawn inside the diving bell — exit and re-enter the quest zone
• Sequence 9 Trust Is Earned: should be fixed in 1.002 — if Burgess still fails to react, reload from Sequence 7 **We Demand a Parlay**

How to Report New Bugs

Ubisoft requests players file reports through the official **Black Flag Resynced Bug Reporter** at ubisoft.com — include platform, graphics preset, and reproduction steps. Pair reports with the Day One Patch 1.002 page to confirm you are on the latest build before filing duplicate tickets. Chinese players who experienced VO issues may also qualify for compensation listed on our promo codes page.

Relationship to Patch 1.002

Update **1.002** shipped at launch July 9 and remains mandatory — especially for disc installs. The **post-launch patch** (likely 1.003 or similar) targets issues discovered after millions of players went live. Install 1.002 first, then apply the next update when your storefront prompts automatic download. Console players should keep auto-updates enabled overnight during launch week.
