Key points
- Game does not launch unless it is installed in the same drive as UPlay. Not applicable to Steam version.
- Very poor mouse input due to aggressive acceleration. A controller is highly recommended, though Xbox controllers may require a fix. See Controller support.
- Poorly implemented out of sync frame cap. See Issues fixed.

Widescreen resolution | 16:9; other aspect ratios are letterboxed.[citation needed] | ||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | Cutscenes and some menus are pillarboxed. | ||
4K Ultra HD | |||
Field of view (FOV) | |||
Windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | It is possible to force the Anisotropic Filter externally from the graphics card control, but this will cause great delay in the game menu, as well as a considerable loss in the performance of the game. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Up to 8x MSAA. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Force triple buffering in graphics card control settings for a more consistent frame pacing. | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | The game has a poorly implemented 59 FPS cap which can jump between 57 to 63 FPS; however, it allows a high refresh rate. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Anisotropic filtering can be forced in the control panel of the graphics card at the cost of a noticeable loss of performance. The LOD quality improve substantially, but it is still very poor.

Controller support
- Xbox 360 Controllers and Xbox One Controllers are not detected correctly resulting in incorrect button mappings due to a driver bug. Windows 10 users can find a fix at the bottom of this section.
Controller support doesn't work correctly
- Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II have problems with button mapping and recognition.
- If a DualShock 4 is being used with a program like DS4Windows in exclusive mode, this fix is not necessary and will be mapped properly.
