Skull and Bones runs aground. Fans waited two months for UI pop-up window relocation

Many are disappointed with the post-launch support for Skull and Bones. Case in point: players had to wait two months for a fix that, seemingly, could have been implemented in a matter of hours.

Fans were complaining about an annoying pop-up window obscuring menu items as early as the beta test, but Ubisoft fixed this Skull and Bones element only now, two months after release.

The company released update 1.5 for Skull and Bones, which improves the aforementioned element by moving it to a location that does not interfere with other UI elements. Besides this, patch 1.5 introduces several purely cosmetic changes, increasing the time limit for La Peste battles from 10 to 12 minutes for solo players. Furthermore, Ubisoft added a cooldown penalty for quitting the “Hostile Takeover” and “Helm Wager” events (for example, leaving “Hostile Takeover” means you can enter the next event of this type within 20 minutes). Additionally, players can earn no more than 350,000 PoE per Helm Wager.

Ubisoft has still not definitively resolved the crash issues with Skull and Bones on XSX. Many players still complain about having to reboot the console by holding down the power button.
