What 1.0.4 Fixed (Summary)

The July 16 patch resolved the highest-traffic launch bugs: PC Custom preset cutscene frame caps, Jackdaw disappearing after docked upgrades, harpoon-boarding conflicts, civilians entering brawl zones, weather never fogging, floating vegetation, map icon persistence, and major quest blockers including **A Governor No Longer**, **The Observatory**, and **Rift: Wayward Desires**. Chinese and Italian localization received dubbing and text corrections. Performance and stability improved globally though Ubisoft's notes remain high-level on FPS gains.
