Assassin’s Creed Shadows Hotfix 1.0.3 Features PS5 Pro and Gameplay Fixes

In simpler terms, there’s been a fresh upgrade for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows“, taking it to version 1.0.3. This update primarily concentrates on enhancing the game’s technical stability and making graphical corrections. The quick fix specifically tackles a visual problem observed on PlayStation 5 Pro systems concerning HDR and PSSR rendering. Those with high-end displays might notice better visual quality after the update is installed.

The fix addresses an issue where the ability to call for backup was absent, which could interfere with gameplay or advancement during certain scenarios. This update also incorporates overall improvements to enhance stability and performance, reducing the likelihood of crashes and improving overall smoothness. On PC platforms, issues causing stuttering have been eliminated, leading to better frame rate synchronization during gameplay.

The issue where the game crashed during the opening scene, causing delays for some players, has now been resolved. In terms of aesthetics, this update addresses distortions in Yasuke’s outfit after dodging or crashing, as well as display glitches associated with the ‘Claw of Dragon’ weapon skin. However, for the moment, the multi-purchase feature in shops has been temporarily turned off due to unforeseen complications; a solution should be provided in an upcoming update.

The file size of Patch 1.0.3 differs substantially across different platforms. For instance, the Xbox Series X|S requires a download of about 11 GB, whereas updates for PC and Mac systems are approximately 9 GB apiece. Users on PlayStation 5 receive a relatively small update at only 0.492 GB, and the Steam version is also compact, coming in at around 0.40 GB.
