Assassin's Creed III Glitches Thread

Recommended Posts

After the initial release of the game, it has become evident that the game is full of bugs and glitches. Since there is no patch for it, some people may like to have a heads up so as to not be discouraged when they come across something odd or, "wrong".

 

Let this thread be used for all of the known glitches that are found. Maybe it can/will be found useful for some.

 

I'll start by adding:

 

When you develop the ability to craft new items, you'll be given the opportunity to craft double holsters for your (now) guns and the title of your Pitcairn pistol will become Pitcairn pistols.

 

When you equip the newly labelled Pitcairn pistols into your newly crafted double holsters, you can clearly see the two, distinctive silver handles in your holsters.

 

The glitch is; whenever you travel to a new location, wether it be walking to a new town/the frontier or, fast travel to ANY point, every single time, your second gun changes from a Pitcairn pistol to a different, brown handle pistol (I think it's a Duckfoot or, something) that has lesser qualities.

 

The only way to use 2 Pitcairn pistols is to visit a General Store every time you arrive at a new location and avoid fast travel while in that location.

 

To add to the extensive list:

 

1. Markers on the map disappear from compass whilst running towards them.

2. Random custom marker appears in center of map.

3. Random red, enemy markers appear on map when no enemy is present.

4. Consumables (bullets, poison, bait, etc.) disappear during fast travel and entering/exiting/replaying certain missions.

Literally not sure how this just happened but doing the underground tunnels and my path is blocked so I go to pick up a gunpowder barrel up to blow my way through and soon as I pick the barrel up, screen just went white. Reloaded up my save, same thing. Fast travelled to a different exit in the underground, I see the cut scene of him walking through the door, but then white again. I exit the underground and to New York and it's the same thing. I'm reset my game completely to XMB and reload and it's now fine, I'm in New York and it's ok. Fear going back underground now though! I could hear the crowd and raindrops but the sound went really loud

I had a completely crazy glitch happen to me today: an Assassination contract was literally fused to a horse and carriage. At first I thought I had to kill the driver, but then I saw two legs coming out from under the cart. I couldn't get to my contract... so I had to reload the game.

 

I understand the engine for this game is newly developed, but some of the glitches are very annoying. :)

Oh boy...Here we go...

1. Certain types of timber are unable to be purchased from the homestead for no reason at times.

2. In the mission where you assassinate Pitcairn on the huge battlefield, when you are in the camp, there is a guard that disappears and reappears while he walks around, and his red dot is still moving around on the map while he is invisible. He also doesn't detect you when he is invisible.

3. Disappearing consumables.

4. I don't know if its a glitch or if its just poorly implemented action, but when you have notoriety and you call your assassins for a covert escort, the guards still detect just like normal even thought it shows the ring about your head that means your hidden.

 

 

Also, adding on to the gun holsters glitch, for me, the second gun completely disappears sometimes, and it doesn't reappear until I fast travel again.

A few more.

 

1. Encyclopedia of the Common Man - Lumberers say 3/3 recorded but, no bullet point under stating they're completed and entered in the log.

 

2. Encyclopedia of the Common Man - Woodworker says 2/3 recorded but, there is a bullet point stating they're completed and entered in the log.

 

3. Boston underground - you have to blow up a powder keg to access the north western travel point. After completing the puzzle and exiting, if you go back in, the blockade is back and is impassable.

 

4. Fast Travel points - the icons don't appear on the map until you actually use the door, even though the prompt "door unlocked" appears in the upper right corner. Also, any side missions involving unlocking underground points won't become visible until you exit and enter the underground.

 

5. Boston brawlers side mission - Just finished the final challenge on the final checklist (I did disarm/kill 10 Jagers with own weapon because I was doing the Jäger Bomb trophy at the same time). Upon completing, went and checked for remaining lists/missions and found that Boston Brawlers was still there only now, it was back to list #1 and telling me to meet Harold Ring at the brewery (the same thing you did when you did the fight club). Anywho. I'll bite. I know it's just another fucking glitch but, I go anyway and, to put the icing on the cake, he's not even there, leaving yet another "completed" list visible as incomplete.

 

6. Wolves are always stuck in trees and bushes and can't be killed.

 

7. Assassination Contract stuck inside a shed (I can see his gun and walking legs/feet sticking through the door and can hear him talk).

 

8. Liberation - After all zones are liberated, "Liberation Contract" icons are still visible. To make it worse, when you approach them and/or enter the door to where they're at, they disappear. Exit the door, reappears.

 

9. Damn NOTERIETY!!! - Even after bribing 2 (YES TWO!!!) heralds, I can still tear down 3 (YES THREE!!!) wanted posters even though, after bribing the first herald, I was told I was icognito. To add to this, the "matrix spider web" things can still be seen on every wall when I'm icognito. To even further this disgrace, when both icognito and notorious, posters are visible and can't be removed.

 

I'm sure I'll find/remember more. Don't even get me started on the multiplayer bullshit.

Liberation Mission

Boston North - Gangs

Free a civilian held captive by the thugs [2/3]

 

Boston South - Conscription

Chase and kill a military pursuer [2/3]

 

But the only thing remaining on my map for Boston North District & Boston South District are my contacts!

 

Is there a way to fix this or does the rest appear later in the game

You probably have to find them yourself. Hard to say if it is a glitch or not. Some stuff just doesn't appear on the map unless you find it by going to unexplored areas on foot.

1. When playing Nine Men's Morris (EDIT: ANY GAME), after every time interacting with the table (play a game or just enter and exit) and while still in the bar/inn, your items box (gun, bow etc.) is cleared and left blank.

 

2. Your weapons box is changed to fists.

 

3. If you're using a crafted knife, it removes it as your main weapon (puts you on fists) as well as deletes the crafted knife from the pre-assigned weapons button. Even though it's absent from the assigned weapons slot, it will still appear if you click that direction.

 

4. #3 happens every time I hit R2.

 

To sum up my experience, try this:

 

1. Put item as bow and weapon as crafted knife.

 

2. Interact with game table (ie. NMM at the Homestead Inn).

 

3. Exit game and find item is blank and weapon is fist.

 

4. Press and hold R2.

 

5. Find crafted knife not assigned to any slot.

 

6. Release R2 and find item is now gun.

 

Removes item, deletes weapon, assigns different weapon and then assigns different item.

 

WTF? ALL I DID WAS LOOK AT A TABLE AND PRESS R2!!!!!!!

 

aaand a few more:

 

- I keep getting a prompt saying that I just obtained (insert spoiler item here) every time it travel. It was two days ago and I'm still being told that I just obtained it. It's not so bad, I guess. It just adds a different message on top of the one that I've been being prompted for, for the last 4 straight days. Imagine; every single time you travel, it says "new weapon obtained" and then "new item obtained".

 

- Was fully notorious and walked by a group of 8 soldiers. They did nothing at all.

 

- In mid fight, one of the big tank lookin' soldiers stands up stiff as a board and stops fighting, my noteriety goes away, I can't attack him anymore, he doesn't light up when I focus on him, he's stuck in generic guard stance/actions (swaying, looking at feet, turns head etc).

LoL:

 

Assassins contract: I walk up there to check it out.

The guy I try to assassinate is walking inside a trader cart.

I can't touch him and he can't run away.

(went away and got back to see him out in the open: Killed him)

 

Helping the kids in Northern New York: you have to knock out the traders: only there is only one.

Went back and after a while there were two and we're done...

 

In the tunnels of New York (The brewery I think) I walk into a room like we know from the earlier versions: navigate through the room and you're done.

There is a very funky colour in the water and alot is not finished building (colours were there but no physics)

 

Locks from treasure chests: some are good, with some the animation is well above the lock.

 

I was in the frontier and I first fought off 5 Lynxes and the 5 bears.

Doesn't have to be a glitch, but solitairy animals in full packs and near other predators, really? good for trade though:dance:

I just got to New York, following the contact to the market, we get to the city area and the game locks up my PS3. I have tried it a few times locks in the same place every time. Any suggestions?

 

I think I will try the game data un-install re-install trick to see if it resolves the issue. I will keep you posted.
