Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Ubisoft Should Be Ashamed – Incredible Remaster, but Completely… (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: You may have been lucky but don't dismiss the fact that there are reported soft lock main story bugs on Ubisoft's bug reporter website that have been reported by many many people that has not been fixed for months.
How to fix it
- Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
- Type %USERPROFILE%\Documents and hit Enter.
- Open the folder named Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.
- Delete the cache folder completely.
- Launch the game again; it will rebuild the cache from scratch.
Optional tweak: If you are using an AMD graphics card, disable any AMD upscaling features before starting the game.
If it still doesn't work
- Verify that the issue isn’t a known soft‑lock bug (e.g., the “Vainglorious Bastards” mission where Charles Vain’s ship sinks). These bugs have been reported on Ubisoft’s bug tracker and have not been fixed for months.
- Check the Ubisoft bug reporter website for any new updates or community‑submitted workarounds.
- Consider reinstalling the game after deleting the entire Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced folder in Documents, then reinstalling to ensure a clean configuration.
- If crashes persist after the cache deletion and graphics tweak, you may need to wait for an official patch; currently there is no confirmed fix.
What players reported
Hey everyone, I just need to vent my frustration here. There is a damn good reason why I already have nearly 75 hours in this game: the new version looks incredible graphically, the gameplay is amazingly fun, and Ubisoft actually managed to bring an old game up to an absolute top-tier level. Hats off to the technical foundation. And despite all of that, they still manage to ruin everything…
What players suggest
You may have been lucky but don't dismiss the fact that there are reported soft lock main story bugs on Ubisoft's bug reporter website that have been reported by many many people that has not been fixed for months. I have been unable to progress Vainglorious Bastards because Charles Vain and his ship has sunk underwater since launch.
Crashes on startup; reinstalling doesn't help—the game is broken. and all this after a game update
Same problem, bro, is there any method to resolve that? 1. Press the Win + R key combination on your keyboard. 2. Enter %USERPROFILE%\Documents and press Enter. 3. Open the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced folder. 4. Delete the cache folder entirely. The next time you launch the game, it will recompile the data from scratch. And I also disabled AMD upscaling. So far, it’s working.
