Whereas Ubisoft’s new feudal Japan outing has been principally well-received by critics on Nintendo’s new hybrid platform, it appears the expertise hasn’t been fairly as pleasurable for some gamers.
A number of message board posts and social media threads on-line are full of participant studies in regards to the recreation randomly crashing. Some gamers have even skilled repeated crashes, forcing them to utterly halt their play classes till Ubisoft deploys a patch.

Some customers right here on Nintendo Life have additionally reported encountering crashes in Murderer’s Creed Shadows for Change 2.
Critics have famous points with frame-pacing, and advocate handheld mode for the perfect expertise, however there appears to be fewer studies about recreation crashes in the course of the assessment section. TheSixthAxis was one web site that immediately acknowledged this “underlying problem” – referencing “a collection of crashes” not lengthy into the journey, however “no clear set off”. Nintendo World Report additionally talked about the “occasional” software program crash.
In our personal assessment right here on Nintendo Life, we admitted Murderer’s Creed Shadows wasn’t the right port, however nonetheless felt it was a colossal achievement on Nintendo’s new system.
So, when would possibly we see a patch for this downside?

And with so many participant studies now, Ubisoft has hopefully acquired the message.
