Game Data

Save Game Location

As of 23rd November 2012 Ubisoft have once again changed their software and appear to have MOVED the folder again, the path is now: Template:Game Location Table

Note: that 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 AC2 to save games to this location on your local hard drive.

DRM

Assassin's Creed II uses Ubisoft's Uplay DRM. Formerly, an always-on internet connection was required to play the game. In a later patch, an internet connection is still required to launch the game, but is no longer required throughout play.

Issues and Fixes

Wireless Xbox360 Controller Fix

The wireless 360 controller works poorly on the default settings and does not allow you full control over rebinding commands to its buttons. Search for fan-made fix "acii_wireless_360_fix_by_khemitude" and extract its contents to the folder containing the .exe for the game and the new default controller settings will mimic that of the actual Xbox 360's controls.

Note: The file is no longer available. There are mirrors on the last page of the thread, as well as an alternative program called x360ce.

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.

Game Freeze When Given Hidden Blade

You must press "2" to select the weapon to continue the cut-scene, default mapped keys do not work as they should.
