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. This can be fixed by rolling back to the 301.42 driver instead (or updating to the latest drivers).

Game 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 set the command -fullscreen on the desktop shortcut to toggle full screen automatically. (Example: "C:\Programs Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Assassins Creed\AssassinsCreed.exe" -fullscreen)

Input settings

Controller won't work properly

Assassin's Creed (and Assassin's Creed II) use an older version of the Xbox 360 Controller drivers, and, therefore, do not function as intended. The buttons may be mapped incorrectly, or the triggers may not work. To fix this, simply download the new drivers, as instructed below.

Instructions

For advanced users (and an updated version of the DLL), just go to the 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.
