- The save folder was relocated in a November 23, 2012 patch.
- If you change the YML config file to allow offline play, or if you select the Uplay launcher to stay offline in the options, then your progress and games will NOT be saved!
- You CAN turn cloud-sync OFF in the options, but you must allow Uplay to go online to allow Assassin's Creed II to save games to this location on your local hard drive.

Issues fixed
Odd lighting bug
Odd lighting bug that causes lights to shine through walls and other objects. This issue is cause by the nVidia Control Panel forcing graphical settings on. A fix to this is to enter the NVIDIA Control Panel select "Adjust image settings with preview" option and then select the "Let the 3D application decide". This should fix the lights shining through everything.
You must press "2" to select the weapon to continue the cut-scene, default mapped keys do not work as they should.
Random Freezing on PCs with multi-core CPUs
By default, the game is VERY poorly optimized for multi core systems and may randomly freeze on systems with more than 2 cores.[citation needed] To fix this, open task manager during the game. Right click on assassinscreediigame.exe and click 'Set Affinity'. Uncheck all but 2 of the available CPU cores. The game should discontinue freezing. NOTE: This has to be done every time you play the game. You can set this permanently with a utility like RadeonPro. It will detect the game and set affinity dynamically.
