Ok thanks for the info. What program are you using then?

Um, did you miss the big part in that picture where it says: "Attempt to terminate Outpost Firewall Pro process is prevented."

There are 2 versions I know of:
-Outpost Firewall Pro 2008.
-Outpost Firewall Pro 4
Asking for what program is a legitimate question. If you had continue reading the thread instead of hitting the quote button you would know that he's using Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0. He also stated that Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 is new and still needs some work. It would be wise in the future to read all the posts in a thread before you decide to respond.

The game should look much better with the world lighting... no more objects that DONT cast a shadow/have shadowing effects . (Why cant they have AA after the ROPs...................................)

Posting this after an explanation was given only shows how astute you really are. Go troll somewhere else.

Nice edit! Did you miss the smiley face? Calm down and laugh a little. Sheesh!

Great thanks a bunch. This will come in handy when they attempt to update this patch. Some believe it will be a "forced" update. I don't know how true that is though. I take it that Zone Alarm Pro is just as good?

I don't like Zone Alarm and still believe O FW is much better as you can control what it does.

For example you can allow a program on the ports you want to and stop other port numbers being used this includes a browser connecting to the web were you can ban all \ most of the ads from showing or even connecting to.


On top of that you have cookie \ java \ ActiveX \ Referrers \ Flash \ exturnal content \ DNS and and more that you can block.
Only one other firewall comes close to my liking and thats TINY Firewall but is to exspenive for me lol..

Try Outpost is a must if your thinking of buying a firewall.. There is a Outpost 1.0 freeware about to but only works on 32bit and it don't have as many options which is why i get 4.0.



Maybe the Event Viewer shows the firewall being turned off\on while playing the game ?.. i'll try it tomorrow if no one else does.

From what I hear is if your program is crashing, you either applied the crack to keep from using a DVD or you downloaded the illegal copy.

Ok.



You're right. I got the "NO-CD crack"

 

[AsRock]

I tried windows firewall and event viewer did not say that it was turned off. Dunno if that can be trusted though with virus like activity.

Mines D2D download.

Thanks for the information. Is there a service for that program found in Administrative Tools, Services? If there is you could stop it and make sure it's set to manual (just a thought).


Now I have to ask, how many clicks does it take to get to close AC, lets find out

Yeah but you don't even have to do that. you can turn it off by just right clicking icon and selecting exit ( Once looool ). Unless you have a password set.

True but I thought it was pretty funny none the less

3800 series

8800gt series (patch of grass in the lower left corner and the banners don't look right)

Anyone else notice the flag (banner) not rendered properly regardless of the resolution? IE it self illuminates?

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Which works better the xbox360 game pad or the mouse/keyboard?

 

[AsRock]

Which works better the xbox360 game pad on the mouse/keyboard?

don't that depend on the user ?.. no game to me feels any good with a controller lol.

I simply wanted the opinions of others.

 

[3870x2]

mouse/keyboard by about 250%.

Well other things bothered me more than the controls.

This should give you an idea of how large these cities are. Not only can you walk/run through the streets you can navigate through roofs. There are times where traveling via rooftops is more feasible but you have to be careful of archers on duty on some of the rooftops. Combined with flag finding and templar hunting and this makes for a pretty fun game.


Can anyone post comparison pics of these:

All I did here was turn around after being briefed on a mission

This photo is facing the exit door of Al Muslim building.

This is in that building of Al Mualim. You are either usually briefed on a mission or given explanation of your mission. All pics are DX9.0c




Interesting note:

Kyle’s note: We think we have done our homework here and don’t see any reason for DX10.1 support to be taken away from Radeon 3800 series owners. This is the first time we have seen the ATI Radeon 3870 benefit from the heavily marketed DX10.1 support. To simply take that away is a travesty and we think that Ubisoft should at least leave the choice up to the end user. Obviously you don’t have to patch the game, so Ubisoft can’t really take it away from you, but don’t expect continued support for the DX10.1 version of the game, at least not for the time being. And that time being is very likely till NVIDIA gets its own DX10.1 GPU considering it has a reported US$4,000,000.00 in deals invested with Ubisoft at the moment. Time will tell.

The performance gains seen by players who are currently playing Assassin’s Creed with a DX10.1 graphics card are in large part due to the fact that our implementation removes a render pass during post-effect which is costly.

We did not find it to be “costly,” but Ubisoft is the company that has to pay to support their users, not us. Surely if you are playing with an 3800 series Radeon and using AA, you might want to look before you accept the next AC patch from Ubisoft.

I really do like this game, despite it's quirks. What impresses me most is the use of HDR when mimicking sunlight reflection on the ground and surrounding areas. And, Alt-F4 is the best way to exit the game!

A lot more green tint then my liking but breath taking none the less.


There is website that provides you a map of the game. It's xbox360/PS3 based but the flag and king locations look similar to me to far.

Edit:
Yup, they work just fine for the PC

AA at work

DX10

DX10.1

DX10

DX10.1

Looking at Rage3d's review there are some instances were DX10.1 appears to do a better job with AA. But it's not always obvious...

 

[AsRock]

Eww tell ya the truth i don't like the 10.1 it looks over bright.

I believe they are trying to mimic the sun hitting surfaces, etc. It shouldn't always be like that when the sun is blocked by clouds (or whatever they do). However, the added AA in certain surfaces does show that 10.1 is working.

i got this for the pc a lill while ago, really enjoying it, but for some reason antialiasing is borked, i can get improvements, but even at 1920x1200 (which im playing at) it still appears really bad

looks great tho

Did you manually enable AA via assassins.ini file?

"\Application Data\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed\Assassin.ini
find multisampling and change it to "Multisampling=2". At 1920 AA is disabled for some odd reason.

I find Multisampling disabled at 1600x1200 too.

I would just manually enable it.
