Assassin's Creed Feedback Thread

The game is very nice. Graphics are great as well. I'm playing it in Dx10 and it runs great at 1680x1050 16xAF/Level2 AA option. I like the way you can choose to play the game. Run through the streets picking fights, climb to the rooftops and jump from rooftop to rooftop like a ninja, or sneak by everyone on the streets quietly and assassinate anyone.

The number of NCP's are incredibly high in some scenes. I'm guessing the game becomes very CPU limited when that happens. Luckily, it seems to make good use of Quad core CPU's. The game has some of the largest playable city scapes I've seen. The towns you get to explore are just insanely large. Especially when viewed from high. I also like the way almost every thing in the game is climbable. Every building, every fence, are parrallax mapped and can be climbed over or on top of. Would be kinda cool if you could also climb the side of mountains though.

Umm...what drivers are you using. We have very similar systems and in DX10 at 1360x768 even with AA on level 2 the game is pretty slow in Damascus. I figure it's got to have something to do with drivers or the fact that I'm running Vista x64 as opposed to x86.

So...is there any FPS improvements going from DX9 to DX10? That was why they have DX10 on AC.

You might want to read my post...the one with the screenshots. I'm beginning to think people just ignore me around here.

Yeah, I feel like a dummy now. Sorry for being an ass. I just installed the 174.74's and now I'm running DX10 1360x768 all settings max and max AA and I'm getting rock solid frames. It's unbelievably smooth now and it looks absolutely fantastic. False alarm everyone.

Although I'm still getting that graphical wierdness in DX9 but I don't have a reason to run in DX9 mode now that DX10 is working beautifully.

Shadows look weird look weird (very rough in some shots) on the PC version for some reason... Think its because I never really looked at a still of the game, or the TV hides it well.

I noticed shadowy wierdness on both the PS3 and 360 version and trust me the PC version is worlds sharper in every aspect if you've got the machine to run it maxed out. Nevertheless, you can still see the shadow LOD in the PC version even with the shadow setting maxed. Of course, it doesn't help that I used compressed jpg's.

How did you keep the HUD from showing in those screenshots?

You can customize the HUD through the ingame menu. You could do the same thing for the console versions. I actually prefer playing with no HUD. The game is significantly more difficult that way and it's a lot more immersive IMO.
