Ubisoft has issued a patch, titled Title Update 1.1.1, for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which has brought about many different changes along with the long-in-demand motion blur toggle and essential save bugs fixed.

Thus, the most important information has been given at the last. The game Assassin’s Creed Mirage has just received its Title Update 1.1.1 and many players may say it is about time. The official word via the Assassin’s Creed Twitter channel stated the main fixes as follows: a motion blur toggle (thank the stars), a solving of the issue preventing save in permadeath mode, and a promise that your stolen goods and oud melodies won’t just vanish from the inventory without you noticing it. You can keep periodic checks on the full, detailed patch notes at Ubisoft‘s site but the community’s reaction? That’s where the real story is and it is a mix of relief, frustration, and a million other stuff requests.

Right in the beginning, the motion blur toggle is put forward by many as the king of this update. A user called MOON CENA was open about his opinion “Motion Blur was the fking worse it made the game unplayable and I was waiting for this update.” And he wasn’t alone. Another user just said, “Was waiting for this. When you run the motion blur is brutal haha.” This is the kind of option that gets the whole player community divided—half adore the cinematic feel and the other half gets sick because of the motion. Giving people the opportunity to choose is always the right thing to do and it is amazing that this option was not there at the time of launch. A player Shawn Matthews was happy but right away asked, “was chromatic aberration? Can all play if they are both gone.” Well, that is what patches do. After sorting out one problem, gamers immediately highlight another one on their wishlist.

Nevertheless, other than the motion blur, the update took care of some very nasty bugs. The permadeath save issue was huge—think of a player losing all his/her hard work in that mode because of a glitch. That’s just unacceptable. Furthermore, the disappearance of tools while fast traveling between Baghdad and AlUla has been directly caused by player’s complaints. However, one player, Astristul, has remarked that the phrasing in the notes was a bit strange and he would have liked the fix to cover the larger fast-travel tool loss bug that he had experienced. There’s also the inventory fix for stolen goods and melodies which probably has prevented a few players from having to repeat some tiresome collection quests.

Going through the responses to the announcement gives the impression of reading a public bug report and feature request board. It also shows that the community is still being affected by unresolved issues for every problem that gets fixed. The performance issues on consoles are among the main complaints. A lot of players, including Allan Rosario and Sauce 🔰ero, noted the constant tearing of the screen in the 60fps mode on Xbox Series X and VRR support was asked for to “smoothen the crazy screen tearing and performance hiccups” in crowded city areas. These are serious issues and should not be treated as minor complains; they influence the fundamental smoothness of playing the game.

The conversation just goes up. Since this is an Assassin’s Creed feed, it hooks automatically every other desired game in the series. The quantity of demands for a 60fps update for Assassin’s Creed Unity is unbelievable if not astounding. Unyimusic said, “AC unity better resolution and 60 fps update please.” Noize cried, “Please give 60FPS for AC UNITY plssss.” There is no other way but a chorus. People are also talking about a Black Flag remake, Turkish language support, and even bug fixing in the past titles like Black Flag where players claim they have been waiting for help since August. One player, James, was so mad about lost gear in the new one, “Fuck Mirage give me my fucking gear back!” It’s all messy, but it still shows how much this fanbase has been involved through the history of the whole franchise and its timeline.

Moreover, some requests are very specific to Mirage. OfficialAzzam asked for a walking speed toggle for consoles as well, not just for keyboard and mouse, to get that nice and quiet assassin vibe. LAN021 made a long request for getting separate settings for the sensitivity of controlling a mouse and a controller. And some players like Crisco Kid shared that they will not be purchasing the game until a certain feature like playable recurve bows is implemented.

So, what can we deduce from this? The 1.1.1 patch update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a good and necessary fix. It tackles the main concerns the most disturbing experience of the players, completionists, and death mode fans who were the gamers hardest hit, mainly on PlayStation.
