Issues fixed
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.
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.
