Ubisoft adds blowpipe hide option in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced update
Ubisoft’s 1.0.6 patch adds a blowpipe Hide Gear toggle and a PC cutscene frame-rate fix, turning Black Flag Resynced into more of a cleanup pass than a content drop.
Ubisoft pushed Title Update 1.0.6 for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced with a small but useful change: Edward can now hide the blowpipe gear on screen. The patch went live on August 4 at 14:00 UTC, 10:00 a.m. EST, and 7:00 a.m. PST, and it hit PC and consoles at the same time.
That blowpipe toggle is the kind of detail that matters in a remake built around atmosphere and presentation. If the goal is to spend time sailing, boarding, and moving through the Caribbean without extra visual clutter, a Hide Gear option is an easy win. Ubisoft’s patch notes also say 1.0.6 adds a missing tutorial, so this update is not just about cosmetics. It is also filling in at least one gap in the onboarding flow.
The bigger practical fix is on PC, where Ubisoft says it is addressing a cutscene problem that could lock cinematics to 30 FPS when Graphics settings were switched to custom from certain Low presets. That is the sort of bug players notice immediately, especially in a game where the cutscenes are part of the pitch for a cleaner, more modern Black Flag experience. A frame-rate hitch in story scenes is the opposite of what a polished remake is supposed to feel like, and this patch finally targets that inconsistency.
1.0.6 also fits into a short but steady run of post-launch cleanup. Ubisoft released Title Update 1.0.4 on July 16, and later bug-reporter notes pointed to fixes for multiple save and load issues, localization problems for Simplified Chinese, Italian, and Arabic, and a dubbing issue affecting voiceover playback and cutscene visuals in localized versions. Put together, those fixes show the support plan so far: stabilize, localize, and smooth out the rough edges before anyone starts calling this the definitive version.
Ubisoft says Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, which makes the 1.0.6 rollout straightforward across the whole audience. If you bounced off the game because of interface clutter or technical roughness, this is the first patch that starts to make a reinstall feel sensible rather than hopeful.
