If you've managed to sneak up on a bug or glitch in Assassin's Creed 3, there's a good chance it'll be addressed "by the end of next week." A planned Xbox 360 and PS3 patch rivaling the game's hefty day-one patch will address both multiplayer and single-player issues - for example, one particularly nasty multiplayer issue on the map Fort Wolcott where players would become stuck in the warm-up screen will be no more. Targeting a player with throwing knives will prevent them from contesting kills, which should hopefully cut down on cheap escapes.

On the single-player side, just about every campaign mission will see an update. Missing NPCs, objects and audio will be patched in all around, and several mission-breaking bugs will be squashed, including a few that would get you stuck in an infinite loop of respawn and death.

There are quite a few big problems Ubisoft will cut down with this patch. The descriptions on many of these fixes stray into spoiler territory, so read up on the full list past the break below at your own risk.
