Issues and Fixes
Character Audio Problem
When you have 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound enabled, characters voices can be lost or inaudible. This can be fixed by switching to 2.1 Stereo.
Controller won't work properly
Download the file below "Xbox Controller Fix.zip". Unpack both files(x360ce.ini and xinput1_3.dll) in the main Assassin's Creed directory. This method will also work with Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations.
For advanced users and an updated version of the DLL just go to x360ce download page and download the corresponding DLL for your system. You can also download the program to create the ini for your particular gamepad.
Game Audio Plays, but no visuals
Go into the Assassin's Creed directory (for Steam that would be located at $\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassins Creed), and swap the names of the files AssassinsCreed_Game and AssassinsCreed_Dx[version]. Then run the game.
Conflict with nVidia Geforce 306.23 Drivers
A conflict with the latest nVidia drivers causes a CTD when the game transitions from the introduction videos to the main menu. This can be fixed by using the 301.42 driver instead.
Short freezing when killing an enemy/talking to NPC
The game tries to connect with some Ubisoft servers which have been shut down. Two solutions exist:
- Disable your internet connection while playing the game.
- Go to:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Open the file 'hosts' with NotePad, and add the following IP addresses at the end:
216.98.48.18 127.0.0.1 216.98.48.53 127.0.0.1 216.98.48.57 127.0.0.1 216.98.48.133 127.0.0.1 216.98.48.134 127.0.0.1
This way the game can be played without having to disable your internet connection.
