Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Xbox update glitch fixed [update]

by Griffin McElroy on Jan 17th 2011 2:30PM

Good news, Abstergo Agents -- you've got the day off! Your rigorous training exercises on the online multiplayer portion of the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood have been interrupted. That's not due to the current national holiday; rather, it's because some players seem to be having trouble downloading the game's latest title update, locking them out of any and all of Brotherhood's online offerings.

Ubisoft has acknowledged the error, and is currently working to repair the damage. We'll let you know when you can get back to your regularly scheduled murder and stuff.

Update: Whatever was causing the update hiccup has been remedied, according to Ubisoft. We just downloaded the patch with no problem, and would wager that you can now do the same.

It's not like it was possible to join an online game in the first place, so no big loss, right?

@NickDynmo - Unfortunately that's been my experience as well. I played with a bunch of friends last night and we had troubles getting everyone into a private match as well.

@NickDynmo

Once you're able to get into a match, the AC brotherhood is quite fun! I was hoping this update would fix the problems.

Bungie: Please share multiplayer net code! Please, please, please!

LoL it's funny cause it's about Assassins and he says Kill :D

@JnRx

Way to KILL the joke

har har

Title is a bit misleading, thought Ubisoft decided to stop providing multiplayer altogether when I read it.

@Qehb

That's why the article exists. So that you can get the whole story.

Any word on whether this affects the ps3?

On a side note, I went back to Bioshock 2 multiplayer today, because i've still got some achievements there, and i'm finding it really fun for some reason...

Once all this is fixed, I hope it improves finding matches, takes for freakin-ever to get into a game

@AxFactor

Me too. I just started playing the multiplayer last week. I enjoyed it quite a bit once i finally got into a match, but sometimes you're waiting for five minutes (or even longer) just to start a game.

Mine updated straight away ... Back to work :(
(The update messed up my profile sets >:()

@Brapish
Lucky, my game (Ps3) NEVER EVER saved a profile set, Its a pain in the ass to redo five sets everytime u log into the MP. Luckily im done with the Platinum so hell, i only play with friends atm.

My goodness the Templars hacked every single Animus. D: Where is Premature Ejaculation Man when you need him !?

@Milkman4321

He's coming.

@quiggy LoL :D It's funny cause "coming"

@JnRx

That was the joke I was trying to make, yes.

@JnRx
There is always a someone who ruins jokes.
You sir, are one of them.

My friend and I weren't able to play the last few times we played anyways. We either would end up in different games, or one would make it into a game and the other dropped back to the menu.

Hunh, I knew something was new; the wait time for matches improved!

@LENSconcept Good! The game really needed that.

Wow, good update.

Strange I had no problem updating the game this morning and no problem playing online after i had updated. Everything worked great for me. :)

@sgt quackers
Same for me, except all my classes got reset.

That's why the title is misleading, if it was titled "Recent update renders Assassins Creed Multiplayer unplayable" then we wouldn't have the same problem

So..is this update for 360 only? When is it coming to the PS3? Because I just booted up Brotherhood and nothing updated.

Glad to see both Ubi quality control and the MS "certification" process dropped the ball. Nice...

@kahrnivor "Trouble downloading the update" != "The update was downloaded and broke multiplayer."

This must be the patch I was waiting for :P

Damn, I get the OXM monthly magazine. Someone wrote in saying publishers are way too reliant on game updates and are getting lazy at testing. This is an example. Two other prime examples: Saving in Dead Rising co-op kicks the other player, and then Fallout. (That's all I have to say and everyone knows what I mean)

I love the first comment. Perfect.

So let me get this straight....the update fixed a few peoples issues,but,for those of us who didn't have any issues,we do now. I can no longer play in a party either. And my profiles have reset twice. The personas unlocked gear and colors are hit or miss. So.....an update for the update is coming? Or was second one supposed to fix it?
