Assasins Creed Defects
Rupen M (360) - I noticed that within the game when you are in the cities and are gathering information about your target. If you have discovered a viewpoint with only one objective (pickpocket, interrogate, or eavesdropping) you can return to the bureau right away and you will be given the mission to assasinate without completing anymore objectives. It seems to behave as though all objectives were complete because none are left on the map.
Edited by hopeful owner of AC: this is actually because the more objectives you complete you can learn about the environment your target is in and perhaps even aid you, this is not a defect and should be removed.
This is not a defect : You will only need to do a set amount of investigation to gain access to the assasination memory. However I recomend completing all the Investgation bars in order to understand better that which is going on in the world.
Sean M. (360) - I think my game has some major defects or glitches. It happens on the part where you go to Arsuf to kill robert. When I get there the archers and guards don't attack me and I can't injure some of them. After you have to jump off your horse, a assassin that looks just like Altir comes out of no where. He will mimic everything my guy does and when I try to lock on to a enemy I can only lock on too the other assassin. After that I just tried running away but when I try to get to the group of about 15 templars the ground disapears and my character falls through untill everthing go grey and I die. I have died about three times before from climbing a building then going inside it and falling into a grey hole before but now I can't finish the game. Also if either me or the other assassin dies I have to restart. If you have any information on stopping this from happening please tell me.
- From what I've read on this bug, it only occurs if you have a second controller turned on or plugged in. Remove it, reboot your xbox, and things should be ok (haven't tested myself, sorry) --TarkisFlux 00:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I got to the point in the game where you have to ride to Arsurf to assassinate Robert. Rode the horse all the way to Arsurf, and when i got there the game started glitching. If I continue towards the marker I end up falling through the ground and can run around under the level. As soon as I get off the horse I die. When I re-spawn there are 2 of me. I can run around and start fighting myself if I line up the 2 characters well. At one point I got past the invisible hole in the ground and continued down the hill to Robert. All of his guards just stand there and let me assassinate them, but no matter what I do I can't kill Robert. He just stands there, but doesn't take any damage. Great bug testing guys!! All in all the game is a mundane and repetitive. I thought the story line was cool, but now I can't even finish the game because I haven’t found a way to get around this glitch. my last word.
- POSSIBLE CURE FOR ARSUF BUG********************
SEAN, I noticed you suffered from the same glitch that I suffered from. I believe I have a way around it. When you arrive in Arsuf, you should start out dismounted. DO NOT mount your horse again, proceed on foot. All the ambushes and so forth triggered as normal so long as I did not mount the horse in that section. I hope this helps- A.L.
From the walkthrough (reposted by TarkisFlux): Just to let you know, there is a glitch within block 5. It is located in Acre when you find two people you are supposed to pickpocket to get an item in the East. When you step towards these two people, It appears to form a massive invisible forcefield around these players leaving you unable to complete your task. You can only fix this by jumping through the stall near the two palm trees
