Yes, I admit it. I have seen a few entire weekends pass me by while glued to our Playstation3. Drakes “Uncharted” and then Uncharted 2 turned me into a gamer. Well maybe not a gamer, but man do I love me some Uncharted 2! Now I’ve gone and got myself stuck on Assassin’s Creed ll. I didn’t much care for the first one, but the follow-up is phenomenal. Once started it’s hard to walk away, and since it’s a game that seems to go on for an eternity, my last couple of weekends went by before I knew they had even started.

If you’ve been hooked like I have, then you’ve most likely run into a few freezes and bugs. Well, Ubisoft to the rescue. A patch has been released to fix those pesky little issues that pop up and ruin the flow. Playstation 3 users have most likely already seen the update if turned on yesterday (Thursday). Now Xbox 360 users should see the update roll out for them today (Friday). Have a look at the fixes (which are plenty).

Patch notes
Fixed:

Glyph
After the player has resolved a glyph (when the unlock code message appears), if the player presses A and B (for 360, X and O on PS3) repeatedly and quickly, the video will appear in full screen, and he will get stuck in “the truth menu”.
Fast Travel
Some feedback states that Ezio loses the ability to interact with the fast travel stations.
Free roaming/Parkour
In extremely rare occasions a bug allows Ezio to walk on air.
Auditore Cape
When first equipping or re-equipping the Auditore cape, users in the Villa become notorious even if the cape description says otherwise.
Altair’s armour
While wearing Altair’s armour the game crashes when performing multiple consecutive double assassinations.
Toscana
The game occasionally crashes if the player dies in Toscana, the player is stuck in the animus loading screen.
Water
Ezio and NPCs may get stuck beneath map if pushed in water.

There were reports of the game crashing while the player is in the Animus loading screen
