was a balanced mix of bug fixes, stability improvements, and a few key gameplay refinements. It has worked hard to smooth out several rough edges, addressing some of the most frustrating issues that players have encountered.

Let’s break down the General Fixes:

1. Players no longer get redirected to the wrong board when trying to complete “Complete Yasuke’s Personal Journey.” This issue has been fixed, saving time and frustration.
2. Another major issue that is fixed: accessing the trinket in the forge. Now, players can fully access and use all available items.
3. For customization lovers, they can now apply visual changes to weapons without glitches.
4. Various minor AI glitches and audio hiccups have been addressed, improving immersion overall.
5. Hideout: Addressed the missing NPC and crashing issue.

Now, let’s dive into the Open-World Fixes:

1. The biggest change: No more objects flying around or getting destroyed near altars and religious buildings. Now everything stays firmly in place.
2. Deer Spawning: It wasn’t the Bambi experience you expected. Too many deer were spawning on the main roads, creating chaotic scenes. It’s now been toned down.
3. Merchants now offer a more diverse inventory without duplicates, improving the shopping experience.

Quest fixes are as follows:

1. Several quests, including “Astray” and “Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki,” had progression issues. All that’s been addressed now for smoother questlines
2. Some NPCs were behaving oddly, like Tokubei attacking anyone in sight or enemies fighting each other in Against the Koga-ryu. Those little quirks have now been fixed.

Time to get into juicy Stealth and Combat fixes:

1. Issues with abilities like Ground Assassination and Guaranteed Assassination have been ironed out, improving stealth gameplay.
2. The Igan Sunset Tanto perk, which slowed down time on Escape Strikes, was getting a little carried away, so Ubisoft has adjusted it to prevent endless slow-motion.
3. Meanwhile, other combat skills and abilities, like Snake Bite and Crescent Strike, are now functioning as intended.

Some Visuals and UI fixes were also implemented:

1. A host of animation glitches and rendering issues have been patched up for smoother visuals.
2. From tutorial mishaps to HUD problems, issues have been resolved to keep your screen clean and functional.
3. Photo Mode is also getting some love, with visual issues like lingering effects and Codex Orbs being cleared up.

Now, some Platform-specific fixes:

1. PC: There’s now a better VRAM usage display and more accurate performance metrics. Additionally, the issue with ultra-wide settings has been fixed.
2. Steam Deck: Players no longer have that jarring FPS drop during the intro animation.
3. MacOS: Minor tweaks for Mac resolution options and the PS5 Controller light issues.
4. Xbox: Added back the Balanced mode in Performance options.

While bug fixes and performance improvements are crucial, the standout feature of this update is the introduction of fresh content. The new free story pack, The Works of Luis Frois, is a welcome addition, expanding the game’s narrative with a brand-new quest.

To unlock the quest, you’ll need to complete “The Path He Walks” on Yasuke’s Board, providing a fun incentive for players to continue progressing in the game’s rich storyline.

In addition to the new story content, Ubisoft has answered the call for more lore with the addition of character bios in the Codex. Yes, players’ prayers have been heard, as now they can keep track of all the important allies and foes they meet throughout their journey.

The Codex update serves as a great tool for those looking to dive deeper into the game’s story, providing a bit more context for the characters you encounter, especially when you’re following the intricate web of relationships in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.

Overall, the general consensus on the update has been fairly positive, as various important things, like Shrines and Deer overload, have been fixed. What players are most excited about is the inclusion of the Codex. This was a highly requested feature and has been met with great enthusiasm.

Additionally, the improvements to quest progression and combat mechanics have been appreciated, especially fixes to NPC behavior where characters weren’t spawning or moving as they should.

However, not everything, and not everyone, is happy just yet. Some players are still frustrated by unresolved issues. The biggest complaint continues to be the lack of a multi-sell feature. Ubisoft has

this and stated that the feature is in the works and will be added soon.

Another persistent issue is the inventory’s “new” bug, which haunts some players. This has led to players asking for a “Mark All as Read” feature for the Codex, which many feel would be a simple yet valuable quality-of-life upgrade.

While these issues are still on the table, it’s clear that Ubisoft has taken some important steps in the right direction with this update, making Assassin’s Creed Shadows a smoother, more enjoyable game overall.

In the end, Title Update 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows brings a whole lot to the table. Ubisoft has clearly been listening to the community, from crucial bug fixes to new story content and gameplay improvements.

While some issues remain (looking at you, inventory management), this update is a solid first step toward polishing a game that’s already packed with potential. If you haven’t updated yet, now’s the time to jump back into the game.

And who knows? Maybe the next update will finally tackle those lingering player requests.
