PS3 owners know that playing
Assassin's Creed can be a frustrating experience. Ubisoft's much anticipated game suffered a long list of glitches on Sony's black box, which includes mid-load freezing, character movement glitches, and more. Over the weekend, it appears that Ubisoft silently released a 1.10 patch for the game. Whether or not this patch actually successfully addresses all the problems of the game are yet to be seen, but we're hoping this will lessen the frustration of wannabe assassins.
[Thanks,
Michael T.!]

Are you kidding? This has been out for about a week now.
You'll be happy to know though that it solves all the freezing problems I had and dare I say, makes loading time between zones marginally quicker.

Believe it or not, but it just dropped in NA. I've been waiting for a week to get it! The d/l is fairly quick, a million times better than home, that's for sure.

i got notification about it on friday, downloaded and installed. i didnt have any freezes all weekend, and maybe it's just my imagination, but the framerate and loading times seem slightly better.

I doubt its your imagination. I thought the same thing as soon as the game loaded (I wanted to check on exactly these things). Framerate has improved considerably and I swear the colors look better. I thought the drab colors were right for dusty cities in the first place, but I know people complained about it...
Now if only they could have done this the FIRST DAMN TIME.

Good stuff. I am getting this for Christmas so its good to here the issues were cleared up.
Heres a really good poll question for next week:
Would you rather have a game on time (or early) and have them patch up the glitches?
Would you rather have it delayed to fix the glitches?

First the EU version has been out and week.
the NA(north American) 1.10 patch came out Thursday night.
For me I had no problems to start with,. and the patch did nothing but Improve!
Load times were cut in more then half, and the game has less screen tearing, and appears slightly but noticibly sharper.
and runs much smoother,. not that I thought it wasn't b4,. so needless to say i'm very Impressed

I'd have to say depends on the game and my mood. in the case of this game I never had issues prior to the patch so i'm happy as is

I have a 60GB PS3 from launch and have been folding@home quite a bit (since early back then there wasn’t much to play). I’m starting to notice these anomalies (to a smaller extent) on another title (Ratchet n Clank). Resistance is still fine, even the Uncharted demo is fine. I also got a new copy of Assassin's Creed and updated to 1.10 but same issue.
Could certain newer game engines be using the SPEs in a more robust way?
Could folding@home (even in a cool well ventilated area) cause partial SPE failure?
What you are looking at in that image from the Assassin's Creed screen shot (have 10 other shots) is character tearing/stretching when moving or STANDING STILL! It seems to get progressively worse as game play continues (again this doesn’t occur on the uncharted demo at all).
I need to try the title on another PS3 preferably a “day 1 60GB version”. Question: Anyone out there playing Assassin's Creed “issue free” on a day 1 60GB PS3 that have also done a good amount of folding@home?
I am in the top 12 on this team:

Yes, this patch was available for awhile now in Europe, but us folks here in the USA have yet to receive the patch. I've been trying Assassin's Creed everyday wondering when Ubisoft would deliver the patch. Good to know it's finally available.
