u/E_L_2

Hi all, I've been having this issue where the framerate appears locked at a max. of 53 FPS when playing the Steam PC version of the game. Before, I was able to attain a locked 60 FPS with VSync enabled no problem, but now even with VSync off I cannot get that framerate. Changing the graphics settings does nothing, except when they are set too high and the framerate falls below the 52-53 FPS mark.

Since it appears locked at this FPS, I can only conclude that it was a bug with the latest patch. Has anyone else been facing this issue?

Hi all! Wanted to share my classic control scheme remapping that allows for Hold R2/RT to sprint while keeping parkour up and down on Cross/A and Circle/B respectively. The key change is that most of the face button abilities are remapped to the D-pad, which works just as well. See below for the changes (if not listed that means it does not need to be changed):

• Sprint: Press Left Stick --> Hold R2/RT (switch the input method from Press to Hold)
• Attack/Heavy Attach: R1/RB --> Square/X
• Crouch: Square/X --> R1/RB
• Quick Fire Pistol: Triangle/Y to L1/LB (not D-pad Up so you can still heal while sprinting)
  • The entire input is now R2 + L1 (RT + Left Bumper)
• Quick Fire Rope Dart: Circle/B to D-pad Right
  • The entire input is now R2 + D-pad Right (RT + D-pad Right)
• Kick: Square/X to D-pad Left
  • The entire input is now R2 + D-pad Left (RT + D-pad Left)
• Sweep: Cross/A to D-pad Down
  • The entire input is now R2 + D-pad Down (RT + D-pad Down)
• Eagle Vision: Hold Right Stick --> Press Left Stick (there is the option to switch the input method to a toggle instead of the default Hold, which Shadows really needed but never got. Glad that BF Resynced has it!)

And that's it! Mostly all the same as defaults, and I felt it was easier to remap than Shadows mainly because the Attack and Heavy Attack buttons had to be different. In Black Flag Resynced, they are the same which makes me very happy indeed :)

As far as I can tell this method essentially requires no compromises on functionality at all and the directional inputs are still logically laid out in the UI. The only gripe I see some people having is that they have to take their left thumb off the stick to execute these combat abilities which may not be ideal in tense combat situations but in my experience so far it hasn't been a problem at all. Hope this helps all the classic control fans like me out there!

EDIT: You're going to see a lot of "scary" conflict warnings in the menu with this rebinding. Most of them will be for the fact that the combat abilities are now on the D-pad just like the Tools Selection. Ignore these warnings, they are wrong. In actual gameplay there is no conflict. Tools can only be selected when holding down the Left Trigger button, while abilities are activated by holding down the Right Trigger button. Hence, there is no actual conflict.

Title says it all really, but just for those that needed additional confirmation after the vague teasing from today's AMA, there is a Hood Toggle feature for Black Flag Resynced! The YouTuber Skatha posted about him playing a demo of BF Resynced early and on the desk was a control mapping scheme. Sadly most of it is incomprehensible but I can make out a couple things, notably that the DPad Up button will be used to both heal and toggle the hood on and off. This is certainly a welcome addition and I think it is the first time we can do that in an AC game (Syndicate had it but it was tied to crouching).

And for reference, the way it worked in the original Black Flag was that the hood was entirely contextual - if you were in a restricted area, Edward put on his hood.

EDIT: Thanks to some eagle-eyed commenters, it seems likely that the hood toggle is HOLD D-Pad Up while heal is PRESS D-Pad Up. This is good because it suggests we can toggle the hood in any context, not just out of combat (likewise, we can heal in any context, not just in combat). It would be similar to Shadows, in the sense that D-Pad Up heals your character while holding D-Pad Up changes time of day. So, we know this functionality works and won't conflict. Another feature someone noticed is that Regular Attack/Heavy Attack are on the same button, suggesting that a PRESS triggers a Light Attack while a HOLD triggers a Heavy Attack, just like in AC Mirage most recently. This button is by default the R1 button like the RPG games but this can obviously be remapped like in Mirage. I know I will definitely be remapping it to Square/X :) Having these two attacks be on the same button is good because it makes remapping the controller much easier!

Despite this game being labeled as supporting DualSense, the game simply won't respond to any inputs from my DualSense controller when it is connected over Bluetooth. I have Steam Input disabled already - in fact the only way for it to work wirelessly is if I turn on Steam Input and let it emulate a Xbox controller. Does this game no longer support DualSense or something? Has anyone had luck solving this issue?
