Issues fixed

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game.

Steam version crashes on startup

Instructions

Character audio problem

Instructions

Game audio plays, but no visuals

Instructions

Regular stutter, especially in the Kingdom

Instructions

Short freezing when killing an enemy/talking to an NPC

On occasion, the game may try to connect to some Ubisoft servers, which could be down. This will result in choppy audio in-game and freezing. Two solutions exist:

Instructions

Controller support doesn't work correctly

Assassin's Creed (and Assassin's Creed II) have problems with button mapping and recognition. Use x360ce.
Instructions

Game always starts up in Windowed Mode

By default, the game should run in fullscreen mode. However, occasionally, the game forces itself into windowed mode, and, as there is no fullscreen mode available in the options section. Return to fullscreen mode with Alt+ Enter or use the -fullscreen command line argument.

Conflict with Nvidia GeForce 306.23 drivers

A conflict with the 306.23 NVIDIA drivers causes a crash-to-desktop when the game transitions from the introduction videos to the main menu.
Instructions

Crash when installed in a Storage Space

The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Storage Space on Windows 8 and later.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/15100/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (15100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
