NEW UPDATE: So, I got the GOG version of Assassin's Creed 1 and it seems that it works very well on Windows 10. So, I guess the crashes was present only in other version, but they were fixed in the GOG version 1.02.

Hi everyone! So, I decided to replay Assassin's Creed 1 after so many years again and... there was a lot of crashes. First, the game crashed on me in very strange way. I was on the quest of killing the first guy in the first big city, and so when I screwed up and he killed me instead, game froze and then there were black screen but my monitor shut down. But I could still hear the sounds of the game, all tho they were of in-game NPC's talking. Then I rebooted PC and launched the game via launcher, instead of DX9 or DX10 exe file. And it worked well for few hours, until I got to the next quest in Jerusalem.

UPD: So I tested compatibility for this game on Windows 10 with Windows XP SP3 and I also run it as administrator and... it still crashes. Heck, it does not even launch. Like, I launch the game and after loading screen, it stops on 70% and crashes back to desktop without any error. I disabled "run as administrator" but it didn't helped. So I had to disable compatibility and only then it worked but keeps crashing in random moments. Like, I was doing quests in Jerusalem after visiting every single tower available, and there is a quest where you have to go inside the church to find out the information from two guys talking. And after that, when I got out and guards attacked me, I climbed up on the roof to hide from them, and game froze and then crashed. I will later try to run it via DX10 exe and see if it helps.

UPD 2: So I just tested Assassin's Creed 1 by launching it via DX10 exe file and it still crashes, when I get killed. And symptoms are the same. Game freezes, then black screen shows up and there is yellow light on the monitor's ON button glowing instead of green. But I still hear the sounds of the game like nothing happened. I tried to press Alt+Ctrl+Delete to launch task manager, but nothing shows up. Then, I tried to press Alt+F4 and still nothing helps. And so yeah, the only thing that helps is fast PC reboot by the press of the button.

Thus, in conclusion I would say that Assassin's Creed 1 does not work properly on Windows 10. And there is no ordinary solution to this problem. And it will crash no matter what in random situations. By the way, I'am playing on Windows 10 Pro X64 22H2 version.
