How can I play Assasins Creed without widescreen?

Jelle Mees · Apr 13, 2008, 04:04 AM

As you can see, I play this game on 1600x1200, just bought it, but the framerate at the start is 40-50 while looking around.

Just got one small problem, why do I have black bars?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Apr 13, 2008, 04:08 AM

I have the same thing. But not that bad. Its not much of an annoyance to me. Then again im 1680x1050.

That second one is my wallpaper minus the HUD.

Jelle Mees · Apr 13, 2008, 04:13 AM

Oh, it's the game, not a compability problem. Ok then. Thanks for quick reply.

Don't really understand why so many rumors spreaded about requirements for this game.

There is only 15fps difference between 1280x1024 and 2048x1536.

At 2048x1536 with shadows at 2, I still get 40+. Looks pretty

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Apr 13, 2008, 04:16 AM

Yeah i have everything at their max and I get 30-80FPS depending on lighting. Still very playable. No lag, no bugs/glitches, etc. Game works great.

Kinda annoys me when people call this game a port becuase it technically isnt. It was made form the ground up since it was in development with the console versions.

Apparently its a locked 16:9 ratio. I personally dont mind it and you get it regardless of resolution. In fact, it might actually annoy me if they fix it.

CrackerJack · Apr 13, 2008, 04:19 AM

i've have the same problem, it's the game. I can change the ratio, but i never bother. i play at 1280x1024

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Apr 13, 2008, 04:30 AM

I found a description in three seperate .txt files associated with the game that make mention of fullscreen=1. I tried changing them to 0 and no effect. Found an AF option in there as well.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Apr 13, 2008, 04:49 AM

Ive been having some audio issues (more or less with the intro movie) and just found a little "hack" if you will to see if it will fix it. Applied it and about to see what happens. Ill post back with results.

Jelle Mees · Apr 13, 2008, 05:17 AM

First impression:
- Good framerate
- No shadows in cutscenes
- Voices are not loud enough

Anyone compared Vista with XP performance? Apperently framerates are higher in Vista.

I like it. I only move with my keyboard, I have enough mouse buttons to cover all the actions.
Oh no, I do use the "2" key for that eagle eye ability.

Guess thats more of a personal preference

. I just seem to be better with a controller, but thats because I grew up on console (I'm a hybrid pc'r/consoler).

There really isn't much difference between the two games. Assasins Creed doesn't have a lot of buttons while most PC games do.

ShadowFold · Apr 13, 2008, 06:13 AM

I grew up on consoles and skipped the "Next Gen" cause I had a nice PC with a crap graphics card so I got a 7600GS and I slowly evolved into being 100% PC gamer. I played Assassins Creed on my friends 360 and its ok. It gets repetitive tho.

I was in a similar situation. My old rigg could play most games, but they weren't very pretty, so I got the 360 (big into Xbox live with some friends) But now that I can fly through all the new games, I am loving my keyboard for my FPS's.

Was planning on it. Movie is still rendering now. Should be uploaded within the next two hours.

I am doing this because all available HD movies were recorded on medium settings without settings for some reason.
