2. Known Issues

################################################## ##############################

2.1. Installing Graphics and Motherboard Drivers

If you experience any graphical problems, please install the latest video and
motherboard drivers available for your Graphics Card. Links to the most popular
Graphics Card and motherboard manufacturers are available at the bottom of this
document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Installing Sound Drivers

If you experience any sound problems, please install the latest sound
drivers available for your sound card. Links to the most popular sound card
manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. Installing DirectX

Assassin's Creed requires DirectX runtime DLLs from November 2007 or later to
run properly. To get the latest version of DirectX, please visit:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx

DirectX is also provided on the install disc in the folder Support\DirectX.

If you receive an error message about missing DLL files, reinstall DirectX from
the install disc to correct the problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4. Bugs and Comments

* It is _not_ advisable to install the game into the Windows folder (usually
C:\Windows), a subfolder of the Windows folder, nor the root of the system
drive (usually C:\).

* It is recommended to close all other running programs before installing the
game, to reduce the risk of software conflicts.

* If using the Saitek P2600 Rumble Force Pad, it is recommended to use the
drivers published by Saitek (see section 3.2) instead of the drivers that come
with Windows. With the Windows drivers, you may need to remap the Up/Down axis
of the right stick through the in-game options menu for it to work properly.

* If using Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or nForce Audio, you
may experience sound anomalies. To work around the problem, reduce the Hardware
acceleration slider to 'Basic' in the Windows Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio
Devices -> Audio tab -> Advanced -> Performance tab.

* If using an AMD dual-core processor, you may experience fast flickering of the
in-game menu items. To work around this problem, install the AMD Dual-Core
Optimizer available on the AMD web site (see section 3.2).

* If you experience graphical corruption, make sure your graphics driver's
control panel is _not_ configured to override application settings.

* Vibration support is only available if using the Xbox 360 controller.
