Steam Version crashing on startup

Instructions

Character Audio Problem

Instructions

Game Audio Plays, but no visuals

Instructions

Short freezing when killing an enemy/talking to NPC

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

Instructions

Controller doesn't work correctly

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

Game always runs 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. To run the game (or any game, rather) in fullscreen mode instead of windowed mode, press Alt+ Enter. You can also 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 Windows 8 Storage Space

The Game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Windows 8/8.1 Storage Space.
