The first patch is now available for the Windows edition of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, updating Ubisoft's action/stealth sequel to version 1.01. The game is due in North America next week and in Europe tomorrow, though this forum thread indicates some folks are playing the game already. The new version should be available automatically through the game's internal update function, but there are also manual versions of the patch for download on AtomicGamer, Gamer's Hell, Strategy Informer, The Patches Scrolls, and WorthPlaying. The change list follows, outlining a few single-player and multiplayer changes.

Single Player

• Fixes an issue that prevents the player from accessing the DaVinci Disappearance DLC under certain circumstances.
• Fixes 2 random crashes.
• Fixes an infinite loading problem in the game menu.

Multiplayer

• Fixes a bug where a player may not appear on radar in Assassinate game mode.
• Fixes a bug where the player may get stuck in a white screen in certain conditions.
