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 Brotherhood requires DirectX runtime DLLs from August 2009 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.

* ATI Eye Infinity and Matrox TripleHead2Go
These peripherals are supported in the singleplayer mode but not in multiplayer.

* MadCatz Modern Warfare controller
To use this pad, install the madcatz, saitek software. Then use the pad in-game with a mouse/keyboard configuration. (the madcatz, saitek software emulates a mouse and keyboard) http://www.madcatz.com/Default.asp?Page=213 It works as a keyboard mouse emulator instead of native gamepad controls.

* Generic controllers display problem in Hud and Menu
On some controllers with letter buttons, the game will display them as numbers using DirectInput.

* 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.

* Some SFX are playing too loud when the sfx setting is at 1.

* 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.

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