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
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:\).
* 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).
