Assassin's Creed Valhalla New Patch Resolves Hundreds of Issues

Ubisoft continues to try and stabilize Assassin's Creed Valhalla with a new patch resolving hundreds of issues.

The patch isn't completely listed below due to spoilers, but you can read the rest here if you wish. Despite this latest fix Assassin's Creed Valhalla continues to struggle as many technical issues continue to sprout up after each new update. With the upcoming DLC getting closer to release and the base game still in this hectic state many gamers wonder if the expansions will suffer the same fate. Big patches are great when they resolve problems but they also showcase how dire the game's stability actually is.
