Assassin’s Creed 2 patch fixes the hideout glitch

This past weekend we warned you about a game-breaking glitch in the brilliant Assassin’s Creed 2 that could see an entire save get ruined by players who chose to quit the game at a certain point. The good news is that Ubisoft Montreal has acknowledged the bug, and is working on a patch to rescue those players trapped in hideout limbo for all eternity. 

That is just one of the many bugs that this upcoming patch will fix, since apparently there were plenty. The full list of fixes can be viewed after the jump, but be warned that spoilers are involved. It is said that the patch will be released on Friday, so you can all look forward to that.

Glyph: After the player has resolved a glyph (when the unlock code message appears), if the player presses A and B (for 360, X and O on PS3) repeatedly and quickly, the video will appear in full screen, and he will get stuck in “the truth menu”.

Fast Travel: Some feedback states that Ezio loses the ability to interact with the fast travel stations.

Free roaming/Parkour: In extremely rare occasions a bug allows Ezio to walk on air.
