  "account": "In a recent update to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the developers have addressed a few issues and introduced some new features. The most noticeable change is that the Kraken wheel, previously considered a costly addition, will now be more affordable. This update, version 1.0.6, will be released today, August 4th, at various times depending on your location. Alongside this, the number of autosaves has been increased from 5 to 10, providing players with more opportunities to recover from any mishaps. Additionally, a tutorial for throwing money to distract guards, which was previously missing, has been added.\n\nThe update also includes other improvements, such as fixing an issue that caused PC cutscenes to lock at 30 FPS when graphics settings were changed from low to custom. Furthermore, Edward, the game's protagonist, can now temporarily raise his hood during a leap of faith dive, adding to his cool factor. For those curious about the game, a review of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is available for further insights. Lastly, it might be worth noting the recent union strikes at Ubisoft Barcelona, another studio involved in the creation of this remake.",
