Parkour Lewis can’t lose with Assassin’s Creed 2 patch today

With recent word of Assassin’s Creed 2 DLC coming early next year, players who were looking for a few temporary fixes to the game look no further. Today, Ubisoft announced an patch fixing numerous technical issues coming to the PlayStation 3 today, December 9, and XBOX 360 on Friday, December 11 according to Ubisoft community coordinator kazzoo.

AC2 developers recently acknowledged the errors locking certain players out of continuing the main story line. Luckily for us, they stuck to their word and provided a patch in rapid response. The list is fairly short and sweet, but contains *SPOILER ALERTS*! so beware!

Patch notes

Fixed: Situation specific bugs

• 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”.

  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.
