Did they ever fix the issue with AC2 deleting your save through backwards compatibility?
No and that will never be fixed.
wow how is that even a thing...screw the loyal players who want to upgrade and play I guess
Well it's Backwards Compatibility team who did this and since that program is closed... They don’t care anymore.
still sad no more backward compatible games are coming
Honestly, when the Activision deal is finalized, I wouldn’t be surprised if they open the program back up. I imagine they wouldn’t wanna just sit on all those 360 games.

that would be cool especially after the server fixes mentioned the last couple of weeks for older xbox 360 games
if you have easy games on your gamercard dont be a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games

The first month of Ubisoft+ is £1 at the moment.

Much better to pay that and get all those games for a month, rather than the free weekend (which starts after the Ubisoft+ deal expires today)
Dammit, didn't realise that offer expires tomorrow.

£1 to maybe play the South Park DLC... it's a bit of a gamble really
not worth it for the southpark dlc not much story to either of the 2 campaigns...if you do it for the base game go for it or other games (recommend child of light, valiant hearts and Scott pilgrim myself)

Might pick up some Black Flag this weekend for the heck of it. It’s been awhile.

I already got most AC games with GWG, to keep forever, before Origins.
Buying:Physical discs leads to profits, Digital games leads to bankruptcy. I will not support digital fully until we can trade digital games

Aren’t a lot of the m/player cheevos on the older creed games unobtainable now?
I seem to have touched a nerve Thomas, sorry to hurt your feelings and for having an opinion. Let’s go back to the world revolving around you eh?

I think this is a interestingly surprising coincidence with some of the ubisoft older games (AC3, AW Future Soldier) muktiplayer part and server support suddenly sprung back to life...

Now I only some of the old AC dlc would go on sale as well...
Revelations and AC III... or is there a better way to buy those?

Valhalla would be nice, but by the time my crappy 4mbps internet had downloaded a game that size, the free trial period would've expired. Really have to look into an upgrade.

Yeah, all of Xbox 360 AC games have multiplayer shut down. Free weekend is for Xbox One versions with online still working In AC4 and Ezio remasters are single-player only.

Wait what is this issue? I was planning on playing AC1 and AC2 soon and is this a gamebreaking bug that corrupts save files or something? Sorry its just the first i'm hearing of it, I'd be playing through BC on my XSX

Would like to play these but 360 BC is broken at the moment. Haven't been able to sign in to play any BC title I own, or have through gamepass. :(

One is the 360 version from 2009 that has its own list. The other is a compilation 3000 gamerscore collection which is bundled with AC Brotherhood and Revelations. So yes, it is two separate lists, but with Halo MCC the reasoning for shutting off the 360 multiplayer is the MCC exists with "enhanced" versions of those games so I am assuming Ubisoft feels the same way since there's no need to support the 360 versions when the "enchanced" Collection version exists for AC.

The servers have been back up for about 2 weeks for all the old ac 360 games.

This free to play weekend only includes the Ezio collection that contain no multiplayer achievements.

thanks for the info...always thought the two xbox 360 assassins creed 2 games had the same cheevo list

You can solo most of AC3 by just playing wolf pack by yourself then grinding to level 20. ( I finished earlier this week)

ACR you need 4-6 accounts to be able to play to get xp. (I just wrapped up all my achievements for this yesterday)

AVB looks like it is offline, I havent been able to access.
