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.

In there, when I beat up this one guy to get some information from him and then got to the nearby tower to climb up and look around to open new areas, there were guards on the roofs, and one started to attack me. I kicked him off of the roof and the game crashed right after that. But this time it only froze for a few seconds and closed, without any black screen. There was even no error messages or anything like that. Thus I stopped playing it and started to wondering, if there is solution to my problem. I googled every possible word to try to find the solution, but those that I found were very banal, like reinstalling your video card drivers, or updating them, or checking on your video card and stuff like that. But I know that everything works fine with other games, as far as my hardware goes. It's the games that keeps screwing up with me because of, it looks like, Windows 10.

Thus, here is my question: is there any solution to this? Like, I set compatibility with Windows XP SP3 and run as administrator for this game on DX9 exe file, but I didn't tested it yet. But the thing is that, in the past, like in 2013 maybe, when I last time played this game, there were no crashes at all. But I played on Windows XP back then. But now, on Windows 10 this game keeps crashing and I keep wondering, why it happens. Why it continues to crash. So, is there any solution to this? Because, I really want to replay very first Assassin's Creed game and I can't because of those crashes. So if anyone could help, it will be really cool.
