Problems I have encountered playing the PS3 version using firmware version 2.00 (Also, I never play while logged onto PSN):

After gathering all information for the 4th assassination (which I chose as Damascus) and reporting to the assassin's bureau, the memory fast forward was activated and never stopped (entire screen was white and had memory fast forward text on left of screen). I could see the memory block bar update and if I used eagle vision, the white screen went away for a few seconds, only to return. Waited to see if it would go away, but ended up trying to quit game, which restarted my console.

While wondering around Jerusalem in an alley, I encountered major slowdown that persisted throughout the entire city. Slowdown did not affect audio, converstations would end long before the animations for them would. After restarting the game, the problem disappeared; even in the same area that caused the slowdown before. This leads me to belive that the slowdown reviewers are complaining about is caused as a software bug, and has nothing to do with the console's hardware.

I have encountered about 4 freezes in the game so far (I've been playing for about 8 hours). Two of which were wandering around the kingdom and didn't seem to be caused by any specific event. Another was while sprinting through Acre during a chase. The last was free running along the rooftops of Jerusalem. I believe three of the four freezes ocurred while I was mid-air. The funny thing about these freezes is that the camera can still be rotated and there is still audio (which does not loop like in a normal freeze).

This is an amazing game; it's just frustrating having to restart my console and wait through the long intro messages and loads.

Just in case I let something slip, I'll tag it for spoilers.

***SPOILERS***

The last level where I have to go to that area near Acre to chase down Robert keeps glitching for me. I've had a number of interesting glitches now. All these glitches occur just after the first cliff view, where you can see the hordes of soldiers. Then there is that stone bridge you pass under where you can see Assassin's running on top of it shortly before you get to the archers.

At this point, I have some weird glitches.

-The world behind me ... goes away. The camera moves for a second then everything behind me despawns, and if I backtrack, I fall through the world.

-TWO ALTAIRS: Yeah I've had it where I can see myself about 20 feet ahead of the character I control. The 2nd Altair has the exact same responses to my controls, except I can target him and (if I run him into a wall), kill him. Killing him kills me, sending me back to the beginning of the level. A very Prince of Persia classic-style situation, if it didn't make it impossible to complete the level.

Even if I exit out to the modern day and recontinue, I revert to the autosave that I think is corrupt. I've even turned off my console, reloaded and hit continue only to find the game having the same glitches. I'm scared to think that my save might have actually gone corrupt... of course it happens at the end of the game.

I'm not sure I have any other options, except maybe reverting to an older level to try to get a new save? Oh, also I am unable to leave the level as the game creates a wall.

I haven't finished but 2 missions and I have frozen three times.
- crossing from HQ to the Kingdom
- I get the loading screen for 10 minutes before I turn it off and scream
- and once with a fast forward moment and the screen goes white.

Pls tell me that they are working on some kind of patch or something.

Here is a list of the glitches I have encountered with the PS3 version:

1) I have had significant framerate drops and slow down within the city areas. Three occasions were near the assassin's dens in the cities, and they become so bad that it is almost unplayable. Usually one of the town criers talking about Saladin is nearby and I figured that was the cause of the slowdown. I assassinated one of them but it didn't fix the problem. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/shady.gif

2) I have had 3 actual "white screens of death" and 3 times it has just refused to load a level when starting the game. Altair will be stuck in the "waiting room" (place with all the fog in the animus) and the level never loads and eventually Altair becomes unresponsive.

3) The game also suffers from severe screen tearing, popping, and clipping issues. I've fell through a wall once and also got stuck in a building. Objects will not gradually fade in at certain times and sometimes soldiers will just magically pop-in about 10 feet from Altair. Also, the tearing kinda sucks.

4) This isn't a complaint it is actually a praise: I just want to say that despite the NUMEROUS TECHNICAL ISSUES the game is an absolute blast to play. Heck, in between lock ups and glitches it is probably the most fun i've had playing a game in a long time. I just find it saddening to get my hands on the game after all these years and then be held back by totally avoidable technical issues.

I don't want to troll or spam or whatever, but surely Ubisoft can look at the product and concede that there is a problem and it must be fixed. Also, I think it is little bit late to start saying "It is the PS3's fault". When other developers like Infinity War and Naughty Dog are putting out games that match the competition or beat it then there really is no excuse for glitchy products hitting the market.

Ubisoft, I REALLY love the game. I do, I really really do, but the fact of the matter is that it suffers from so many problems that it begins to take away from the experience of the game. Heck, I have Beowulf (another Ubisoft title) and I love the heck out of that game and it doesn't have any graphical glitches or slowdown at all!

So, a patch or resolution or whatever would be greatly appreciated.

I do have Firmware 2.0, but there also people who have 1.93 and 1.94 who are also experiencing the problems as well.

EDIT: Oh, I just wanted to give a little bit of advice to some of the PS3 owners. If you do the "framerate fix" which can be found here:http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/10/14/a-quick-fix-for-improving-your-framerates/
it may solve the problem. I tried it and I haven't had any massive slowdown like before, but then again that could just be a fluke. Game still locks up a lot and the tearing and clipping/tearing issues are still kinda bad.

Just wanted to pass that bit of advice along to see if people want to try it. Still, if properly optimized for the hardware we wouldn't have to do this anyways now would we?

I bought the assassin`s creed yesterday and i`ve encountered during the 8 hours i`ve been playing 1 freezing when running on the rooftops in which the character stopped and started floating in the air, camera and sounds still worked but nothing else and when i tried to shut the game, my playstation rebooted. I have also encountered one total crash during gameplay in which the screen went black and i couldnt restart my ps3, i had to take the power off from the main switch. I have also been suffering from horrible inconsistent framerates from the beginning and they still continue, gameplay is very laggy sometimes the fps drops propably under 10, massive screentearing,for example sometimes top of the tower can be several centimeter from its body. There has also been a lot of texture popping just few meters away from the game character, even on foot everywhere in the game. My Playstation has the newest 2.0FW, i`ve checked the disk for scratches and smudges which there are none. My display is samsung syncmaster 22" 226bw whick has worked brilliantly on every other game i have played so im pretty certain that all these problems come from the game itself, i really like this game but all the problems above are really ruining it for me.

i have had the game freeze up on me yesterday but the more shocking part was the dissapearance of the world

i was in the kingdom map going from viewpoint to viewpoint on my way to damascus when i went to the one that is at the dead-end path south of the starting city

and when i came past the bend the landscape was gone , i just had what looked like floating rocks, trees and buildings even the viewpoint tower was floating like somemone erased that part of the map

i climbed the viewpoint tower to sync my map, did the leap of faith and jumped on my horse and then i frooze. the console reset itself

i've heard of ppl having the same issue in the same area

btw this is the ps3 version

maybe there is a memory leak going on?

Very weird... The PS3 is havin major issues with this game I thought it would be rock solid on the PS3 and **** on the 360.

My 360 version has only slight issues of twice thu out the game I fell in between a gap and got stuck. The only other was a major slow down in one of the cities but only within about a 20m radious of the assasins beurau.

Looks like im not buying this for the PS3 then...

BTW my 360 is taken apart and only the metal chassis remains with the mobo and fans in and its been flawless for me apart from the above. Just incase any 360 owners are havin issues.

Oh and my HDD is not plugged in only the MC.. but i sometimes see guards and people just appear but that might be because its not buffered on the HDD.

Oh i see the game works 100% perfect on the 360 but on the PS3 is a totall mess up. You are happy with that? good for you.

But is not good for ALL the PS3 players that spent 60$ or 70$ LE, to get a game that we can't play. We are trying to find a way to solve this , no need for more bashing we have enough of that on the net thx. Yes this is another crappy port that we PS3 owners have to suffer, no not another is the WORST port in all the PS3 history.
Keep the fanboy comments comming, be happy. But let us try to solve our Big trouble and money waste = Assassin's Creed .THX

And Ubisoft i know that we PS3 users are the last priority, ok give us bad framerates, give us an unfinished port, put the 360 controller on the PS3 guide, but dont be sadistic and at least let us play the game? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/1072.gif

Was this game built for the 360 and ported? i doubt it, if it was they should be shot.

It sounds to me like the Blu Ray drive on the PS3 cant load the data fast enough.. I dont know what drive is in the DEV PS3 box's but there either on old FW or have a different drive if they tested it and it was fine.

Has anyone with old FW other than 2.0 been affected. As on Xbox-scene.com there is a news topic about 2.0 killing PS3's completely.

Sounds like a FW issue to me as under testing over the last 5 years of DEV i rekon they must have played past the first city.

When does it install 2GB of data?

If it does you must be getting the first load time of 15 mins when its buffering to HDD.

See here about your Blu Ray love....

The 2X Blu-ray drive in the PS3 moves data at 9MB a second. Not bad, right? It's actually relatively slow. There was some arguing over the speed of the Blu-ray player between Ozymandias and Mark DeLoura, as chronicled here, but they seem to agree that Sony's Blu-ray drive is slow:

Admittedly, Blu-Ray looks dicey from several non-capacity angles. Blu-Ray movies require a 1.5x Blu-Ray drive, or 54Mbits/second. Sony announced that PS3 uses a 2x BD drive, which is 72Mbits/second or 9MB/second. The Xbox 360 uses a 12x DVD, which should give it about 16MB/second. That is significantly faster for games and will result in shorter load times. And that 12x DVD drive should be a whole lot cheaper. (Note that the PS3 drive will do 8x DVD, and even that is faster than 2x BD.)

To all 360 owners planning to leave a comment:

"This is not a thread designed for you to troll or wave your flag that your version is better, superior, or whatever adjective your planning on using today."

This is a stickied glitch thread and it was made so Ubisoft could easily document what problems people are having with the game, and if you would read more closely you would see people on both sides of the aisle are having problems.

Please leave your fanboyism at the door.

Ok, now thats been said, in response to the whole "AC for PS3 was dropped some time ago" comment....your right. After the lackluster start of the PS3 this year it would seem that Ubisoft dumped the initial build to last place and decided to focus on 360 development as the primary platform with the PS3 version being a lesser priority project.

Ubisoft themselves might claim this not to be true, but the proof is in the pudding as they say. The 360 version seems to have been shifted as the primary focus point after Assassins Creed 's exclusiveness was revoked to maximize sales.

Are some 360 owners experiencing problems? Yes. Are they experiencing them at the rate at which PS3 owners are? No, they are not. Do I seem angry? Yeah, kinda am...spent $60 on what I had perceived as "game of the year" and the technical problems associated with this rough gem has just left a nasty remnant on me.

As I mentioned before, the gameplay and the story is rock solid and if I could actually play it without worrying that it was going to crash on me it would probably still be "game of the year" to me. However, unless something done to solve the issues I just don't know how much longer i'll keep the game once I complete it. I'd like to say I'll own it forever, but without any real support for my platform? I just don't know ubi...I just don't know.

This is a long shot but if your on an out of warranty console or its modded i would try adjusting the laser as my pro evo would not work now and then. More not than it did and After adjusting the POT it was fine and its been solid since. AC reads alot of data from the drive thats why its possibly only this game. Which is also the potential reason the Blu Ray drive cant read it fast enough but the chimp above chose to ignore that and complain about me.

If it does you must be getting the first load time of 15 mins when its buffering to HDD.

See here about your Blu Ray love....

The 2X Blu-ray drive in the PS3 moves data at 9MB a second. Not bad, right? It's actually relatively slow. There was some arguing over the speed of the Blu-ray player between Ozymandias and Mark DeLoura, as chronicled here, but they seem to agree that Sony's Blu-ray drive is slow:

Admittedly, Blu-Ray looks dicey from several non-capacity angles. Blu-Ray movies require a 1.5x Blu-Ray drive, or 54Mbits/second. Sony announced that PS3 uses a 2x BD drive, which is 72Mbits/second or 9MB/second. The Xbox 360 uses a 12x DVD, which should give it about 16MB/second. That is significantly faster for games and will result in shorter load times. And that 12x DVD drive should be a whole lot cheaper. (Note that the PS3 drive will do 8x DVD, and even that is faster than 2x BD.) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Look xbot fanboy i am not a blu ray lover, i just want the damn game not freezing on me. I came here to get help and all i get is Xbox Fanboys like YOU, be happy with your xbox yes i was polite, i was calm but even here are Xbots????

My initial summation was the Blu Ray was not fast enough to load the data...

You replied with

The PS3 installs 2gb of data fom AC and the Blu-Ray not loading the data fast enough.. no sorry.

Which was obviously wrong as it can't load data as fast as the 360 as I have proven above.

Next time read it before you bash people trying to give you help.

Any what are you talking about you nob end "You don't have a PS3"

My XB gamercard and PS netowrk account are the same name CRS2006. So Jog on and im not helping u no more u looser.

My game (on PS3) has frozen only once when I jumped from building to other. I reset the console and then there was no problems. Except that now I can't continue with the game. Map text tells me to find investigation spots with view points, but I don't get any at all. I have checked every possible view point in every city and there is nothing to be found.

Tell me if there is something I am missing here.
The part is after I killed slave trader and that crazy doctor in the castle.

Strange... Have you got the acheivement for all viewpoints?

If not then u aint got em all as there not all marked on the map and you must look for the eagles to find them.

If you have then try walking round the city you were told to goto and use eagle vision to find people in white. But i suspect its the above..

I didnt realise they were not on the map as the first few are but after that u must find them youself using the eagles.

Beautiful interactive enviroments, Fun and immersive missions all these things the game could be..........

BUT....

The Screen Tearing and Frame Rate are beyond a joke on the PS3, It has frozen for me nearly 12 times and i got it today, at 11am (Firmware 2.00).... Infact i bunked off work to get it (SHH), I actually feel gutted, i have paid £45 for some half finished product..... Is there actually quality control at ubisoft or just a clock that counts down to christmas sales.

Upon looking at the 360 version i`m actually ashamed and embarressed for your team, the hardware isn`t lacking on the PS3, You could, and should have addressed ALL of the problems, that you knew existed BEFORE you released this game. I`m not holding my breath for a patch as i`m fairly certain if ubisoft couldn`t be bothered to finish the title in the first place properly its unlikely they are gonna rewrite and optimise the game code in a patch (even if they could). You should have delayed the launch on the PS3 and pulled your finger out.

Apparently you built this from scratch, side by side with the 360, at what point did you just say...... " It`s ok PS3 Owners won`t mind that they get a Untested/unfinished game"

You could have made this game a classic, The potential is right there when you play it, Its completely dwarfed though by the complete lack of customer satisfaction in relation to the Awful Screen Tearing and Iffy framerates, bugs, freezes... glitches.... its a waste.... and i`ve wasted my money on your game.

I have 4 friends who bought this game for ps3, all are coming right here at somepoint to complain as well in the hope you will put resources into rectifying all the problems which are being reported.

I might sound like i`m being harsh, even nitpicking but i`m not, i`m just disappointed in what was supposed to be " within 5% of the xbox version", and had "gone gold".

yeah ,, great story ,, but serously this is for helping each other with glitch not insulting etch other !

HAVE A LOOK PLEASE

i got one glitch on my 360 . It starts when i ride into arsuf. I ride along the road when i meet 3 archers ,, i throw a knife and kill one guy but the other guys dont respond,, the stealth meter is showing that they are seeing me but they do nothing and they don't harm me

After I killed them i jump on my horse again and countiue. Suddenly i fell under the ground into something wierdo ,, its blue and if u look up you can see the ground :/
I jump off the horse and walk somewhere in nothing. After a while he looks down like there is a hole or something but you can't drop so i jump ,, and I die

Then im back ,, with a second Altaïr,, he does exactly what i do but when im targeting someone hes targeting me! When i attack someone hes attacking me!

Well there are a few gaurds who responds on my attacks,, there are a group that patroling in the forest. They are the only ones who sees me

After some counter-attack (thats the only one 2nd Altaïr not harm me) and killed everybody I countiue the road and comes to the camp.
The soliders notice me and turn around and look at me but they doesnt anything. They are looking at me, I use my eagle vison and look at everybody to make sure they are bad. Everbody is there exept when I look at the second Altaïr , there is none.. I switch back to normal and there he stands. I throw some soldiers and throw them on other soldiers ,, they drag there swords like an informed gaurd. But do not respond when i hurt them or assissinate them.
I can't target or kill those with a red helmet.

Well thats it :/ if anyone knows about this how to avoid being a twin or something please answer!

Will there be a patch out for the PS3 version cause the game has froze on me 5x now and right now i'm starting at the loading screen into the city moving the guy around in the blue mist! Its been 10min!! This is the 2nd time the game hasnt loaded the city.

One time I got a high pitch sound glitch which forced me to reset and 2 times the game froze during a fight.

I love the game but this is a slap to the face since I payed for the LE version(dont get me started on how bad that little figure looks http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/disagree.gif

* Guys, please go argue somewhere else.

I have the PS3 version with firmware 2.00.

I'm having a lot of framerate issues. Usually the game is playable but sometimes the framerate dips so badly it throws me off and I admitt I get pretty frustrated. I can definitly deal with the pop-ups and some minor screen tearing but I'm hoping you all have a patch on the way for the framerates and freezing issues because it sometimes makes the game unplayable.

Some forward notice on a patch would be nice because I have other games I could play while I wait for it.

Thanks!

i have a 360 and have not yet any lock ups at all. the worst thing that happened to me was one time i got a disc unreadable error but this is my 360s fault most likely as it also did it wit COD2 a few times a while ago. i put the disk back in and it was fine. The only noticable glitches i have seen are when u are standing on the eagle perch thing ur cloak goes through it, u go through thin wires and when u assassinate guards sometimes ur blade doesnt even hit them but they are minor and very easy to not make a big deal out of. and i just wanted to say, this game was ORIginally gonna be just ps3, i even have the gameinformer saying so.

I had acquired Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360. Shortly after I began playing, I started to experience constant and frequent game freezes. The freezes would occur about an average of every 10-15 minutes or so after right before I left Masyaf. My first freeze was right before I went through what seemed of a big wooden gate where you can pick a horse on the other side and start riding to first kingdom after Altair have been demoted and stripped of his rank.

I thought I might have acquired a defective disc/game so the next day I decided to go back to the store and exchange the game for another brand new packaged game. I got a second new game disc, and placed it in my Xbox 360. I shortly began experiencing freezes again. I tried playing other games for an extended period of time, and all my other games would run fine/normally. It's only happening with Assassin's Creed

I am thoroughly enjoying the game, but however, every freeze that occurs kills the joy and excitement of playing the game. I don't look forward to getting up every 10-15 minutes to push the power button on my Xbox and reset it, let alone I don't feel like playing the game much either. I am very thankful of the auto-save feature. At least I don't have to go very far to continue where I last froze at. However, it's annoying to freeze during the main missions and go through the long cut scenes over, and over, and over only to waste more time before the imminent freeze. Now my only nightmare is a freeze during the auto-save which could corrupt the data and have me restart all over http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Last night I was able to play for an hour with freezing once. That was a huge improvement for some odd reason. Then I played for another hour fine but I turned off the system because I wanted to sleep. Some of these freezes happen to other xbox 360 owners as well, but some to a lesser extent where the "freeze- per- hour" rate does not bother them at all.

This may not be a bug/glitch but everyone aside from the assassin soldiers on the travelling map between damascus, jerusalem etc are in a constant state of high alert (swords drawn). The archers on the towers constantly see me even though i'm in blend.

Not a big problem if thats how it's meant to be.

as to the xbox's "double altair in arsuf" bug, ive also noticed that (for me at least) I can no longer save my progress. When I find flags or kill Templars after having left Arsuf even when going back to old memory blocks, they do not save. EXITING THE GAME ERASES ANY PROGRESS AFTER HAVING GONE TO ARSUF AND ENCOUNTERED THE 'DOUBLE ALTAIR' GLITCH. Achievements gained after leaving Arsuf are still saved of course, since that is saved to your gamercard and not the game.

P.S. Ubi please fix this glitch soon! I'm grateful not to have the massive freezing problems PS3 users seem to be having, but I can't even finish this amazing storyline and awesome game because of one massively annoying bug!

Just in case I let something slip, I'll tag it for spoilers.

***SPOILERS***

The last level where I have to go to that area near Acre to chase down Robert keeps glitching for me. I've had a number of interesting glitches now. All these glitches occur just after the first cliff view, where you can see the hordes of soldiers. Then there is that stone bridge you pass under where you can see Assassin's running on top of it shortly before you get to the archers.

At this point, I have some weird glitches.

-The world behind me ... goes away. The camera moves for a second then everything behind me despawns, and if I backtrack, I fall through the world.

-TWO ALTAIRS: Yeah I've had it where I can see myself about 20 feet ahead of the character I control. The 2nd Altair has the exact same responses to my controls, except I can target him and (if I run him into a wall), kill him. Killing him kills me, sending me back to the beginning of the level. A very Prince of Persia classic-style situation, if it didn't make it impossible to complete the level.

Even if I exit out to the modern day and recontinue, I revert to the autosave that I think is corrupt. I've even turned off my console, reloaded and hit continue only to find the game having the same glitches. I'm scared to think that my save might have actually gone corrupt... of course it happens at the end of the game.

I'm not sure I have any other options, except maybe reverting to an older level to try to get a new save? Oh, also I am unable to leave the level as the game creates a wall. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have the same problem, prevents me from completing the game. Very troubling. Do I have to start over or something to possible fix this?

Problems I have encountered playing the PS3 version using firmware version 2.00 (Also, I never play while logged onto PSN):

After gathering all information for the 4th assassination (which I chose as Damascus) and reporting to the assassin's bureau, the memory fast forward was activated and never stopped (entire screen was white and had memory fast forward text on left of screen). I could see the memory block bar update and if I used eagle vision, the white screen went away for a few seconds, only to return. Waited to see if it would go away, but ended up trying to quit game, which restarted my console.

While wondering around Jerusalem in an alley, I encountered major slowdown that persisted throughout the entire city. Slowdown did not affect audio, converstations would end long before the animations for them would. After restarting the game, the problem disappeared; even in the same area that caused the slowdown before. This leads me to belive that the slowdown reviewers are complaining about is caused as a software bug, and has nothing to do with the console's hardware.

I have encountered about 4 freezes in the game so far (I've been playing for about 8 hours). Two of which were wandering around the kingdom and didn't seem to be caused by any specific event. Another was while sprinting through Acre during a chase. The last was free running along the rooftops of Jerusalem. I believe three of the four freezes ocurred while I was mid-air. The funny thing about these freezes is that the camera can still be rotated and there is still audio (which does not loop like in a normal freeze).

This is an amazing game; it's just frustrating having to restart my console and wait through the long intro messages and loads. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Help. I am stuck in Xbox 360 Version of AC. I think its a glitch. I am in Acre and I just killed the doctor. Afterwards it asked me if wanted to fast forward memory to Mymar (this was the first time it asked me if I wanted to fast forward, usually it just did it automatically). So I decided to not fast forward. Only now I am stuck in Acre. I can't get to the exits as they are blued out and it give me error memory message when I try to run through them. I have helped all citizens and synced at every outlook post? I have been stuck for hours running around the city. Any help please????

I have experienced crashes on the Xbox360. During a 4 guard combat I parried an attack and it froze. I thought maybe it was just going to take a while to render and wandered off to something else. It never returned. Reset the game and all was well.

---------

While attacking the slaver I managed to get desynched. When the game restarted I was surrounded in the warehouse in the middle of combat. I finished that combat, returned to my pursuit and found that the vigillantes from the saved citizen were no longer there to assist with holding up the guards and the slaver. Just seems to me that this bit of information didnt get saved.

In the Rich District of Damascus to the West of the Assassin's Bureau there are 2 view points and in between them is a "Save Citizen." It would not let me complete this event even though I killed all the guards. When I talked to the citizen she would start with hand movements but no dialogue.

However, I did find a fix! I just scaled the nearest view point and returned to the spot. The guards were still dead but the woman had changed appearance and this time she had dialogue/it let me beat it.

While I have little faith that UbiSoft will take any steps to rectify the technical shortcomings of Assassins Creed's PS3 problems I will air my grievance none the less.

On numerous occassions I have waited several minutes with Altair stuck in the "waiting room (place with all the fog in the animus)" and just recently I waited for nearly 5 minutes without the level ever loading before I restarted the game. In fact it is becoming such a time intensive process that I now watch television during the load sequences mentioned above.

I would also like to point out that Assassin's Creed for the most part has been enjoyable, however in addition to being jerked from the game to talk with doctors not knowing if the next level will load or not wreaks utter havoc upon the suspension of disbelief.

In closing I offer dual suggestions: 1. You folks should go speak with the good people at Naughty Dog, Insomniac or Ninja Theory about effective PS3 coding. 2. In the future wrap up PS3 production then work on the lesser consoles, graphically AC pales in comparison to the likes of Heavenly Sword, Resistance Fall of Man, even Folklore outshines AC.

I've been playing a few hours of the 360-version by now (I have the PS3-version as well but have not tried it) and so far I have encountered:

-One complete freeze. Everything, graphics, sound and control stopped dead. Had to restart the 360.

-Tons of temporary (maybe one second) freezes. Had none of these initially but after a few hours (by the time I got to Jerusalem) it occurs at least once a minute when running, climbing etc. Will try to clear 360-cache.

-One really weird bug where a guard was angled at 90 degrees. He stood (and then fought) in a perfect 90 degree angle!

-Significant tearing. Really a shame considering some of the best looking games on the 360 have v-sync on, great framerates and no tearing.

Of course all the other game specific problems like bad AI etc but that is just poor game design, not bugs.

Great atmosphere and beautiful locations, but way to buggy. Have to agree with everyone else though: why the heck did you do the laboratory/sci-fi angle? It completely ruins the mood of the rest of the game. Terrible idea.

I am on FW 2.00 and playing the PS3 version.

I was in memory block 3. I just assassinated the main target in Acre. It fast forwards to the part where the city is on high alert and you must make it back to the Assassin's Guild. This was when the game started to chug real bad. That whole sequence of navigating the city to report the successful assassination to the guild was horrible. It was almost unplayable. Please look into this issue. This game had and still has the potential to be one of the best games ever.

I have also encountered 2 freezes so far when attempting to run outside the Assassin HQ.

A minor bug that bothered me was the hand of the first person you interrogate, clipping through Altair.

I hope the framerate issues and the freezes are resolved through a patch. If not, then I will not buy another Ubisoft game again. There is no point supporting a company that does not care about quality.

I had no problems with my copy on the 360 until memory block 2. Did the leap of faith right before entering damascus and then really bad artifacting that the entire landscape made me think I took some acid. Turned my 360 off, checked to see if it was hot and it was fine. Restarted got into Damascus and synched at a viewpoint artifacts again. Restart again and again and get the same thing.

Start playing again yesterday and didn't have any artifacts then game freezes right after I save a citizen. Restart once more after moving my 360 into a well ventilated area and the game still freezed within five minutes of just jumping across roof tops. At this point I put in Call of Duty 4 which I had no problems with earlier this week and now is freezing on me as well.

Every time I shutdown my 360 it has never been hot, there are no scratches on either of my discs and the only problems I've had with my 360 were hardware error while downloading the halo beta and my system freezing while checking to see which of my friends are on. I even sent an email to microsoft in detail telling them what my problems are but it was only asking for more detailed information. I now have to contact microsoft to have my 360 sent back because after playing assassin's creed I can't play my system anymore.

- On the assassin's city, rarely, all buildings and stuff will turn to blocks and i will just fall through it

- First assassination, if you climb to the floating platform, the synchronizing memory thing will appear and making you unable to climb down.

- The super final road (that will not be named coz i hate giving spoilers) is the buggiest. I keep falling through. And when i am back, i will have a clone.

Its kind of sad really, i see so many testers on the team and yet glitches like that still happen.

I have the game for the 360 and have experienced the glitch in memory block 6 when you get to Asurf. After killing the three archers who just stood there I'll fall through the ground at random places. When I re-spawn theres another me and once that happens I cant move on in the game. There was also a glitch the first time I entered the assassin's bureau in Jerusalem, where once I exited everything was in slow mo and I had to restart. Aside from these there were minor 3-4 second freezes in movement which seem to be more frequent the farther I get in the game. I hope this helps.

If anyone hasn't figured out how to fix the two Altairs bug I think I just confirmed why it happens on the 360. On the last mission if you have a second controller plugged in it will spawn a second version of you and prevent you from completing it. You'll have to turn off the game and unplug the controller then start again from the last save. Hope this helps somone.

I'm having issues with artifacts on my 360 as well. It seemed to happen a lot in the 1st memory block. When I was in Demascus i didn't seem to have this issue but now that I left Demascus the issue has resurfaced. Here are some pics I took so you can see the artifacts. And yes this is on a 360. And no I haven't experienced this problem on other games that I have.

Wow. Way too many posts to read through them all. I'll just add my nickel's worth - sorry if this is redundant - and hope the game is improved for those who keep it. Yes, this game is leaving my collection, post-haste. I am trading it in on Mass Effect.

I have the 360 version, and this is the clumsiest control scheme I have ever encountered. Blending requires you to hold down a button while the camera (separate complaint about that below) requires contortionist-like abilities to maneuver properly. It would be more functional to make Blend map to a trigger to free up your thumb for camera control.

Camera, in a word, sucks. This thing is all over the place, and when near a wall, you have a limited spin ratio to boot. Very difficult to fight in a corner - which I always seem to end up doing - when you are above yourself, looking at the top of a tree. I turned the game off during a fight in Acre because of this. I just could not take it anymore.

Ridiculously sensitive guards. I like a difficult game, but I was spending so much time running that I had no idea where I was, and because of the crazy control scheme, I kept jumping in and out of hiding places. Really killed the game for me.

Too much emphasis on fighting. Assassins work by stealth, but with the aforementioned uber-sensitive guards, the concept of sneaking is impossible. And, why is it so unusual for a person to be on the roof of a building? Seems to me that where there is a ladder, people would climb up. If no one goes up there, where does the laundry come from?

Eagle vision is annoying. Would be much more beneficial if it was toggle-able. Sometimes, it would be nice to *not* have it turned on so I can look for flags or seek out places I need to go.

No Live support, not even downloadable content. Bad move.

Basically, I just don't see where the raving reviews are coming from. Yes, the game is gorgeous, and it certainly breaks a mold. But, there are too many things wrong with the mechanics. I would rather slog through middling graphics if the mechanics were more intuitive and simple/streamlined. I think the critics were blinded by the beauty of the geography and architecture, and took a flier on the gameplay and mechanics. Meanwhile, they normally rip games apart for just this sort of thing.

One thing I will say in support of this platform. This is the first time I actually envisioned a Thief sequel being built on this engine. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif Now if Ubi would buy the rights from Eidos (who killed that series with Deadly Shadows), they could make a killing with a *true* Thief game.

Here's hoping that the next Splinter Cell does not have the same controls as this game. Given this looks like a prelude to SP: Conviction, I have concerns.

Copying and Pasting from 'For PS3 Users Experiencing Freezing Issues In Assassin's Creed' thread.

Hi. I have the PS3 version of AC.

First, I don't know if anyone else experienced this when they updated to 2.00. When I played Uncharted demo, the game froze on me. I don't know if it was the demo itself or the update. It could just be the demo because it was a demo.

Having said that, in Assassin's Creed, the first time I experienced a game freeze where the camera could be moved around except all characters just stood there was by the hillside before entering Jerusalem. This was two days ago when I bought the game.

This morning, again, there was another game freeze after playing for about the first 10 minutes continuing the game. This time it was in Damicus(sp?).

By the way, does anyone know if there's a problem with the game's Auto-Save too ??

I mean, whenever I move into a new map and I do watch the Save Icon on the bottom middle of the screen, I expected it to save at that specific point. Then, when I shut off the machine and continued, THE GAME DOES NOT RETURN TO THE SAME SPOT. It seemed to have backtracked the save from a while back or something.
So is this normal ?

I don't know. After reading about game problems, I'm seriously wondering if the game's auto-save was or is another issue for other AC players. Can anyone answer please ?

11-18-2007, 03:00 AM

have the 360 version and the only problem (singular) that ive encountered so far is the falling thru the world when riding into Arsuf.

other than that its absolutely amazing.

to the people whinging at UbiSoft for the PS3 version, don't lay the blame solely on them. Sony have a lot to answer for.

while the PS3 may be a more powerful piece of machinery than the 360, the fact that they graphics engine of the ps3 uses their own propriatory rulessets, as opposed to Ps2, Wii, GameCube, Xbox and 360, which all use a verion of DirectX (thus making it easier to cross port games and develop for a wider platform) means theres more chance of glitches.

i applaud sony for attempting to build something new, but in all fairness, since games are built, for the mostpart, on PC's (using DirectX) and then developed, again on the mostpart, for consoles using DirectX for the most part, they shot themselves in the foot. ports are less reliable, and less common (hence why ps3 has practically no games comparable to the Wii and 360) and this killed the development of a viable cross platform market.

which means that companies like UbiSoft have to weigh the worth of spending all the extra development time and money catering for a market that accounts for around 5% of their total audience.

bear that in mind when you shout at them.

for the people who are not happy with the game, not everyone likes the same things, but for the people who are talking like Ubisoft owes them a "better" game, i have one response to you "if you dont like it, DO BETTER YOURSELF!"

To the somewhat last level glitches:

I've been posting around forums for people so people know somewhat how to go through this level. I have the glitches as well but I also used it to my advantage or overcame it.

Two al's - When you come to a tower, try and get it so the other doesn't climb (like make him get the fence) and you can easily lose him. Or you can keep him around and somewhat close and you can knock the hell outta more guards.

Map fall-throughs: Go through the level slowly, it seems going slow allows the game to load the actual terrain quicker, running is a definate no-no, but the level isn't THAT long.

Hope this helps some of you that come across the same problem

First let me say this is an amazing game... I found a weird bug and thought I would post it to assist in the game being even better...

In memory block 4 going after Montferrat and I am going along the roof tops. I have alerted the guards twice. Both times I broke LOS and hid in the rooftop garden that is around 40 meters from him (according to the GPS). The first time I had a guy swinging at me even thought my indicator was flashing blue/vanishing. He wouldn't stop swinging and of course I could not exit to dispatch the fool. So I had to start over...
On my second attempt I hid in the same spot thinking the guy had just seen me and he was the source of the bug... I had no one around this time (except a crowd of guards on the ground that were not trying to get to me) and I went into vanishing mode but never exited that mode so I could not get out of the garden without restarting.

The rooftop garden is like I said about 40 meters from the target. There is a small landing just below it that typically has a guard and a walkway above it. It is really the only thing sitting on this surface. I hope that helps with the description.

360 version,

a) had it freeze once
b) a guard that counldnt be killed by attack, sword just repeatedly when straight thru him (he didnt parry it on anything) ... he eventually died from a counter move (presumably a set piece?)
c) (small spoiler) damascus first time, poor city - informant you have to kill 2 guards for, i killed and returned, and he gave me same mission again rather than complete - did it a second time and it completed.

I completely froze in midair and all the villager's bodies deformed. I could move the camera around, but Altair stayed motionless as well as the strangely deformed villagers. The pause menu didn't work either. Strangely, when I went to Quit Game on the PS Menu, the whole PS3 reset.

360 version. Some constant screen tearing, especially during periods of extended freerunning. For the most part, the game runs smoothly, but the screen tearing's a bit too noticeable to pass it off as a one-time glitch. It's not killing my fun with this game, though. Could it be due to my older 360 (2 years old) or a major screw-up during mass production? If the latter applies, I might buy a new copy altogether.

I'm having EXACTLY the same problems as everyone else on here - the freezing but still being able to move the camera and using the PS button to switch the game off (at which point the PS3 restarts after about 30 seconds with 3 beeps), and the complete freeze of the whole system which means I have to manually hold down the 'on' button resulting in either a restart or turn off of the system (over which I have no control which one it does).

Also - I don't know if anyone else is having this, but the controls seem to be becoming less responsive, like sometimes Altair will do things I didn't control him to do - like the horse will stop mid-run, or he'll climb to the left when I press up, or he won't climb at all until I really jam the stick up as hard as I can.

This is a breath-taking game, but the glitches are unacceptable. I was going to exchange it, but there really seems little point at the moment. Perhaps a recall of all the discs is coming? I have read that someone else is having problems with other games as a result of installing AC. I don't know if that is true, but could that be a glitch in the software updates?

I'm running this on version 1.94.

Had to powercycle the console. All my save data got corrupted, I have to start the game again - although I doubt I'll, I am going just return it as defective product.

This is unacceptable. Please do not sell us rubbish, 45 quid a pop, thanks.

Firstly what a fantastic game.

Secondly to the idiot with the 360 .. the ps3 may have a few bugs with AC .. but your still stuck with a 360..

Thirdly , ive had the freezing problem a few times and ending the game resets the ps3.

Fourthly with was the first bug i found with the game.

When going waking up the 2nd time and getting up on the slab in the lab .. if you dont talk to the girl and just go straight to bed , then wake up and go into the lab again ... you hear the girl talking even though she isnt there and the scientist talks over her.

Nothing will happen so i tried walking into the bedroom again ... and you get locked in and cant get back out.

Must say you need some better games testers... ive managed to recreate this everytime.

This game had sooo much potential and so many good things going for it, and it had to ruin it by glitching and freezing out on me. I seriously lost interest in the game because of the freezes. I had to erase my saved game THREE TIMES! I've never in my life experienced this. Really really unacceptable. 60 bucks for this is really unacceptable.

I am currently running AC on my PS3, here's my set-up:

-20g PS3 connected to HDTV via HDMI cable
-PS3 video output is at 720p (I've turned off 1080i in the video settings)
-2.00 firmware (I have the information bar turned off)
-Logged into PSN via cable modem (even while playing games)

So far I've played about 15 hours, gone through 4 assassination missions and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever(knocks on wood).

I am using PS3 FW2.00.

When continuing a game after booting, I have to change the direction/reversing of the X- and Y-axis everytime in the options menu!
Why aren't these options written and loaded when playing a new session?

Issues Experienced on PS3:

1. Character & NPC lock up. While climbing ladder; Sync status was either yellow or anonymous, all character movement froze, was still able to look around and enter eagle view. Noticed NPCs below were frozen as well while audio tracks and sound effects continued. Had to physically restart PS3.

2. Complete game/system lockup except audio while riding horse in high profile gallop. Believe I reached a loading area, was traveling to a city. Had to cold-boot console.

3. Graphical glicth: Long single Spike or Cone appearing from NPC's faces about 3-5 meters from their bodies (in-game length). Very distracting as blocks view of play. This happened in first city while running & climbing around collecting flags. Once problem occurred only method of eliminating was by completely cold-booting PS3. Problem returned after about 1-2 hours of gameplay (repeating same process; climbing & running collecting flags).

4. Graphical glicth: Bars (similar to above Spikes/Cones) protruding from scenery connecting mountains and buildings across from each other. Similar temporary fix as previous listed bug, cold-boot PS3.

Many of the problems seem to come about after long game sessions 2-3 hours or more. Seems interaction with NPCs are neccessary to reproduce issues; Knocking them over when running in High Profile, climbing buildings in clear sight of NPCs, lots of jumping from high points to hay piles. Plenty of use of Eagle Vision and frequent climbing in front of NPCs. Cold-booting console does seem to remedy problems temporarily, though, they return as consistent as the sun rise.

I am having this issue with the PS3 Special Edition as well. I have FW 2.00 and I'm not connected to the internet while playing. Also I have a 60GB PS3 that I bought on launch day. I have never had any hardware or software problems with the machine until now, and I own 12 PS3 games, so I am assuming this is a problem just with this game, especially since the person in the post I quoted had the same thing happening and it was even on a different platform.

However for me, I am getting this from the very beginning of the game.

I tried rebooting, didn't help.

I tried deleting the install data and reinstalling. Didn't help.

I tried playing 3 other games to see if it would happen in those games too and they all played just fine with no graphical problems at all.

I'm not sure if this is thread for it (since I only came here to report this problem and see if others had seen it too), but what can I do about it? Can I contact customer service and send the game disc back to have it replaced, or will all copies of the game do this? If not, will there be a patch soon ro address this?

I only got past the tutorial sequence and there is so much of this that the game is unplayable for me.

Sorry to break the trend, but I'm playing on an Xbox and Assassin's Creed has a major bug. There have been many times where sound just turns off in the middle of the game for me, in game and in cutscenes. The sound comes back if I exit and return to the game, but that's a huge nuisance and I have to redo the memory. Just now, the sound cut off during the first battle where the Templars attack the village. I decided to keep playing to see what would happen, and eventually, all the sounds that the game missed came back. It's the worst during cutscenes, though, because I miss vital dialogue that I personally really want to hear.

EDIT: I got to the part after Altair is stabbed. During the cutscene in which Mualim talks to Altair for a second time, the sound cut off, twice in a row. Both times I tried quiting and got a frozen white screen. It just happened a third time and it froze on the loading screen.

EDIT 2: It just happened for a fourth time, but my Xbox didn't freeze.

EDIT 3: Fifth time. This may seem like overkill, editing my post like this, but this glitch is extremely frustrating to me.

EDIT 4: Sixth time. I think I'm going to wait it out and see what happens.

I'm pretty sure you are mistaken.
I believe the "memory glitches" are what happens during the cut scenes when you hit a button to change the point of view. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with actual glitches and bugs intentionally placed in the game.

Besides, why would finding bugs like falling through houses and walking through mountains be an "achievement"? Just look up "Assassin's Creed bugs(glitches)" on youtube, you'll see what I mean.

Every so often I get a disc read error on the xbox version. This is the first game it has happened with so I don't think my console is the problem. I looked at the disc and there doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.

11-18-2007, 07:19 PM

I just ran into a major, major issue. I spent about 15 hours playing Assassin's Creed. I had just gone to do the second to last assassination when I got a disc read error. I shrugged it off, thinking I could just starting playing from where the game last auto-saved. But it had deleted my file. I'm very, very angry right now. Assassin's Creed was looking like it would be a great game, but now I hardly even want to touch it again. I spend so much time and energy playing it, only to have a disc read error delete my file. That makes NO sense. Whoever designed the file saving system in Assassin's Creed should be shot. It should let you have multiple saves, it should let you save whenever you want, and most of all, it should keep a BACKUP SAVE so **** like this doesn't happen.
I'm pretty pissed, if you can't tell.

EDIT: This is the 360 version, by the way.

I just changed my PS3 display settings to 1080i and turned on the information bar, and what do you know, the game froze up on me. One thing I did notice is that when I hit the display button on my TV remote to show me what resolution the TV is outputting it says 720p, but the game supposedly runs at 1080i also. This is the first time I've seen a 1080p or 1080i movie or game on my PS3 downscaled to 720p(what's up with that?).

Anyways, I changed the settings back to what I had previously posted and I am back to having no problems with the game.

There seems to be many problems with the game and consoles freezing and so far all i've read are problems with the PS3 and only little problem with the xbox360, however, i've been playing AC and when i switched to halo 3, i have experienced constant freezing in the middle of my live games, which is almost pretty frustrating. my friends who also have the game have experience the same kind of console freezing in mid-game when playing other games. I have not experienced this before and i think its caused by AC, I have tried clearing the cache by performing the x,x,lb,rb,x,x routine but it still freezes on me. just want to bring some attention to this

Found a bug with the throwing knives, in that the ones that go on the belt dont display on the character, the loops always remain empty.

I've checked this by starting a new game, when altair has all of his upgrades and 15 knives. Also i've completed the game so got all of the possible upgrades, and they're not there.

I just encountered a huge glitch in the Kill Robery level. I was walking down the path and I had a huge clipping error where I fell through the ground. I appeared at the final place where Robert should be, and I could hit all the enemys with my sword, but they did nothing. Throughout my hitting them, the game would glitch to where the screen would show random parts of the level, all the while i was hitting the enemies off the screen.

EDIT: I am about to reload the game, after shutting my system down and try it again.

This is not the first time that I have had the game drop me through the map. It has happened about 4 times total. I think this is very unacceptable after I paid $60 for a game, that doesn't even work right. I will be furious if I can't beat the game after restarting...

Also had it freeze once when in the white screen waiting for the next memory and then once in one of the cities.
The thing is that it has not really pissed me off yet. I know it will when I have almost completed something and it freezes and then I gotta restart from the begining again. Yes that will f***ing kill me but hey. All games I have ever played on any console has gliches so me no bothered its a kiss *** game.....

A similar thing happened to my friend. He clipped through the ground on the way to Arsuf, fell for a while, then died. When he respawned, Altaïr had a doppleganger (who had the shiny targeting thing) that would do everything Altaïr did. If we pushed forward, both characters would move forward. If we attacked, both characters would attack. We even managed to get the two characters close together, and have them fight each other (which caused Altaïr to become damaged).

We've tried restarting the system (Xbox 360) to see if a fresh load might help.
If it happens again, I'll record it and put it up on youtube.

EDIT: So far, the fresh load seems to be working. We've managed to get all the way to Robert de Sable and the surrounding guards.
...whoa...COOL SEQUENCE!

I have the game running on an XBOX360. I'm not sure if it matters or not, but it was a game that was shipped with the Limited Edition package.

I have had very little problems other than two instances of pop-in and one or two of clipping until my trek through Arsuf. After going several meters along the path to where three archers are on the side of the cliff shooting those below, there is a lot of graphical tearing and pop-in. I also noticed that the archers do not respond to my attacks. Continuing down the path to where archers are crossing a crude stone bridge above, when I pass under it, there is an issue with the camera and shortly thereafter, I fall through. I then respawn as two Altairs that are able to attack each other and both. I've died on purpose several times to try different things out, and I was able to continue various distances along the path, but at some point there would always be an invisible wall. Also, there were groups of guards that would appear and disappear and took a long time to respond if they did at all.

I am also having the cloning, falling through the world and disappearing world problem in the last level. Has anyone figured out how to get around this.

It makes the last level completely unplayable, so I can't even finish the game. I can't believe ubisoft allowed a game in this state to be released. They really dropped the ball on an otherwise awesome idea for a game. The climbing, and combat mechanics were really revolutionary, but this is negated by the failure in the most rudimentary part of video game production; bug testing. Oh well, I guess I'll just take the game back to gamestop, get my money back and think twice before buying another Ubisoft - Montreal game. It's a real shame too, because I was really looking forward to this game.

11-19-2007, 03:48 AM

I don't really know what's going on with my copy of AC, but it is REALLY FRUSTRATING (Any Ubi moderators/support people feel free to comment). Examples of technical issues: My roommate and I have repeatedly fallen through the map at various spot throughout the game. Both of us have earned the...Eagle's Will(?) achievement when this happened the first time (whichever achievement is the one which says you've won 100 fights without dying). Also, when bounding across the rooftops in Jarusalem, I've consistently experienced frame rate decay which doesn't end until I've been creeping along in the shadows (or other less lit areas) for a bit.

That was super-disturbing, but probably the most frustrating glitch has to do with Arsuf. I've read through some of these threads, and it's the usual stuff:
-two Altairs (who hilariously enough can kill each other)
-guards that just spawn out of nowhere
-guards that can't be killed no matter how many times they are struck
-fell through the map at some arbitrary place(which only happens if I manage to leave my doppleganger behind)
-when finally I reach Robert's huge party of guards, they only stand around looking at me. They draw their weapons, but don't attack. It's fun to do tandem stealth assassinations with Altair the 2nd, but the scene doesn't play out.

Please respond or message me with any advice for fixing this problem. I'm playing on an early Xbox 360 on a six- or seven-year-old non-HD television. Lame, yes, but these glitches are keeping me from finishing the game. Thanks!

I too would like to confirm the bug on the X360 Elite. It's kinda ****ty to not to be able to finish the game.

I have the same issue, dopplegangers of Altair, and Robert's huge party not responding to my presence.

Is this a build number issue? Maybe there's a bad batch in the duplication process.. an earlier built was sent out earlier?

Recall? :P

Maybe a patch? :P.

Assassin's Creed fatal mountain path-bug report

After playing through the pretty awesome Assassin's Creed for 25 hours on Xbox 360 I got into the final stage (Alert! Possible spoiler coming up) up on the mountain path. When walking this stage I noticed a cloned Altair by my side, then the whole gameengine broke down...
"¢ Both Altairs move exactly the same, see picture IMG_3688.jpg
"¢ Within minutes one of the Altairs fell through the ground turning the game into an endless loop of free falling. Restart the game only way out of it (save point 20 minutes earlier in Jerusalem - GHAGGAAAA!!!)
"¢ The same (fell through the ground) even happend with Altair on a horse, see picture IMG_3690.jpg
"¢ If one Altair dies, so does the other. Guards occasionably kill the one Altair out of view.
"¢ When entering fight, make sure not to lock on to the other Altair, see picture IMG_3685.jpg
"¢ Double stealth kill - Altair kills Altair with short blade. One hit kills instantly - no remorse no regrets! see picture IMG_3687.jpg
"¢ In the final fight the cutscene doesn't start. This making it possible to kill all Knights/Templars etc without completing the game or getting any achievement. All guards just stand there waiting for Altairs blade, offering no resistance. See pictures IMG_3682.jpg and IMG_3683.jpg
What have I done to get this?
"¢ Playing Assassin's Creed PAL on my Xbox 360 Elite (PAL) with the latest available firmware.
"¢ The disc is an original EU PAL RETAIL copy without any scrathes or other damages. I've even exhanged the DVD in my local store with exactly the same results.
"¢ My Xbox 360 Elite is NOT modified in any way.
"¢ I have completed all subquests before entering the fatal mountain path of bugs.
"¢ I have restarted the game, the console and everything else five times totally. It takes 20 minutes to get to the bug infected area so it's pretty tiresome.
"¢ I have tried entering the final area both by foot and on horseback, the bugs are the same either way.
"¢ I have killed all soldiers including the final dude (no name to avoid spoilers), the game doesn't finish.
"¢ I have teared my hair and screamed loud in front of my screen.
...simply put, nothing works. Assassin's Creed seems broken beyond repair making it impossible to complete the game.

Sorry for the missing pictures. Couldn't find a way to upload them into the forum (I have sent them to support though).

Found this film on Gametrailers showing the problem.

I have AC for the 360 and after playing it for a couple of hours it froze on me. The next day I was playing again for a couple hours and it froze on me. After the second time, I think it was going to the 3rd city and the frame rates started to skip and freeze for a second and start again. I then got to a point where my 360 side menu came out and said the disc was unreadable and to take it out and clean it. I know that there was nothing wrong with the disc because it only went from its box to the 360 with no fingerprints on it. I restarted from my last check piont and when I got to the same point (I think it was on my way to Jerusalem) as before the 360 side menu came out and told me the disc was unreadable again. At this point I took it and returned it to the store for a new one. I hope I don't have issues with this one. I love the game and I hope you resolve the issues with it.

However this morning after turning my game back on to continue beating it a second time they were mysteriously back in place...no idea why either.

Sorry if this is already posted; searched but didn't see. 360 version.

Upon my first travel to Damascus (poor district) for the first assassination, I encountered some disappointing objective bugs.

First of all, although the Master guy had already instructed me to go to Damascus, the HUD and map kept insisting that the Master in Masyaf was my next objective. I'd went back there, but his office was empty.

But here's the worst part: when I got to Damascus, I saved and quit outside the city, before entering. Next time I loaded, I was already in the Assassin's den in Damascus. This bypassed the fun of sneaking into the city, locating the den from a vantage point, and climbing the roofs to enter. Boo. No one else had access to the 360, so this wasn't because someone else played.

After talking to the local den guy there and getting my orders to find out about my target, it then updated my objectives and stated that locating the Assassin's den was my next objective. ???

My first in-game glitch/freeze besides the load screen "white screen of death" was immediately after my first assassination.

As soon as I began to run away from the pursuing guards the entire screen froze. I couldn't move the camera or punch any buttons, including the PS button.

However, after waiting for approximately 7-10 seconds, I pressed the "x" button (since that was the button the game wanted me to push to "free-run") and magically the game unfroze and I was able to flee.

Lucky me, I guess.

I restarted from my last check piont and when I got to the same point (I think it was on my way to Jerusalem) as before the 360 side menu came out and told me the disc was unreadable again. At this point I took it and returned it to the store for a new one. I hope I don't have issues with this one. I love the game and I hope you resolve the issues with it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Okay, update on this bug. After further testing, I can not only recreate the bug, I can also give a work around to restore your missing stomache knives.

Okay, first how to get this bug. Finish an assassination mission with a full load of knives. Now once you are given the option to fast travel to Musyaf? take it(sp) Now, notice that your knives are actually showing up, they arnt suppose to as far as I can tell while inside the load screen. Anyways, once you leave the load screen your stomache knives will be gone, however your boot and shoulder knives if you have them will still be in their sheathes. Im sure there are other ways to get this bug, however I do know that fast travel seems to definitly play a role in getting it, and it also plays a role in returning them to their proper place.

Now on to how to regain your missing knives, since for me its actually rather important to be able to count how many knives on Altair, since I do not use the weapon hud, or for that matter any of the hud elements. Anyways, do this simple trick. First burn off your current load of throwing daggers, although Im not sure you even need to do this, as I have not tested it with a full load of daggers yet. Now from any of the main cities, go to the exit and choose to fast travel to any of the other cities, except musayef(sp). Okay now that you have fast traveled, do NOT do anything, do not move from the point you loaded into, simply wait for it to finish saving and then shutdown your xbox360 off, either use your power switch or your controller to shut it down. Once it is shut down, power back up, load your current game, and continue from last save point. Once you load you should find yourself inside the assassin's bureau. Simply leave, pickpocket some knives and presto you stomache pouch should once again be showing your daggers properly.

AC on Xbox 360

Im just to start at the 5:th memory block and so far I had one really anoying glitch or what to call it.

My problem is in Jerusalem when I'm in the area around the center of the whole town I get huge frame slowdown and it continues untill I run out from this area. Its no area you can see on map or so but I jus figured using the map when I was running around. Very wierd and I demand a patch where this is fixed since I know others have the same problem.

Otherwise a really great game!

I have the XBOX 360 version of Assassin's Creed and I have loved every second that I have been playing it, it's a beautifully crafted game.

Unfortunatly, like a lot of other people I've experienced the "Arsuf glitch", when travelling to Arsuf the graphics glitch, the archers are indifferent to my presence, after killing them I can travel forward, only to find another Altair ahead of me.

After attempting to carry on for at least half a dozen times I almost gave it up as a lost cause.

But, after leaving Jerusalem for Arsuf I "quick travelled" to Acre, then left Acre to make my way to Arsuf by horse, once I got onto the road the archers ahead of me responded to my presence and I wazs able to carry on as normal.

Hopefully, this will help anyone else who is having trouble with this area, it almost looks like we're intended to "quick travel" to Acre then travel by horse to Arsuf, any other way bugs it.

my 360 version pisses me off, a lot. I get all the way to arsaf to kill robert and then the whole game goes to hell. It starts up with 2 altairs, independant and able to kill eachother, which restarts the game. If i ignore this, neither of them activates enemy ai or cutscenes. If i kill just the right enemy, my altair falls through the ground forever, until eventually starving to death or something, restarting me with 2 altairs again. when i turn off my console and reload, riding to arsaf from jerusalem again, the same stuff happens all over again. fix this.

I have the 360 version of AC

The game has crashed on me 4 times so far

There are lots of framerate issues nad screen tearing

Also the main bug i have is that i am on memory block 4 and when i go into the citys, none of the objectives appear on the map. I've been to the buero and climbed every view point and saved all the citizens and still nothing. Its the same for every city i go to.
So i can't carry on the game because i can't complete the objectives.

Like many other I experienced the Arsaf glitches. I have the Xbox 360 version from the collectors tin.

When you enter the area it works fine but when you reach the archers the game flashes white three times and they don't notice you.

At this point I had the doppleganger character, which follows my exact movements and attacks. It can attack with the same power and moves as the regular character and is also recognized by enemies. To a point it was cool because I could take out the hordes of enemies in Arsaf really fast.

The first few times I tried to get through the level though I ended up killing myself thinking it was part of the game (an Animus Glitch or something that is part of the story line). Other times I would be running down the path and just fall through the world for about 2 min before I died.

Other things included getting to where Robert is supposed to be and both he and Richard aren't there but their men are. I kill the men but nothing happens.

I finally got through the glitch though and finished the level, the last level went off fine w/o any problems.

I'm afraid of replaying that part though since it took a really long time to get through due to the glitches.

Other than that I've had 0 problems in the game for glitches. I just hope there will be some sort of fix for the game.

Thanks to my research, I fixed this (Arsuf, is it?) glitch for my boyfriend! Apparently you need to unplug any controllers in your controller ports. Make sure the 360 is off, unplug, start 360 via wireless controller. That's what he did and he is a very happy man now. ^^; He has passed all points where he noticed problems: No double, no horse falling through the map, got by the archers without a hitch.

Hope this helps out some other people.

OK, 360 version, Limited Edition.

I don't know if this is actually a glitch or not, but I am on Memory Block 7, where i am supposed to go to Arsuf. Instead, I decided to explore a little and get flags and stuff. It seemed like it was working this morning, i stopped paying attention to the saving notice, but everything was updating properly. I collected six or seven flags in the kingdom, and then had to leave the house for a while. So i shut down the system. I come back about an hour and a half ago... all the flags I got earlier are gone, and when i pick them up, it does not save. Doesnt save when i get new flags either, in fact i even reloaded old memory blocks and it doesnt save anything. I dont know if it is a glitch, but it is certainly pissing me off because if these things dont save, there is absolutely no reason to continue playing the game, because what guarentee do i have that the storyline will save?

found a way for Xbox 360 people to fix the "Arsuf Mission Glitch" if it occurs for you

make sure that you only have 1 controller hooked up to your system ... and make sure that it is connected to the 1st spot "Upper Left Green Corner" if you are using wireless

after many, many Arsuf Mission Glitches I did some research and this worked for me

"The last level where I have to go to that area near Acre to chase down Robert keeps glitching for me. I've had a number of interesting glitches now. All these glitches occur just after the first cliff view, where you can see the hordes of soldiers. Then there is that stone bridge you pass under where you can see Assassin's running on top of it shortly before you get to the archers.

At this point, I have some weird glitches.

-The world behind me ... goes away. The camera moves for a second then everything behind me despawns, and if I backtrack, I fall through the world.

-TWO ALTAIRS: Yeah I've had it where I can see myself about 20 feet ahead of the character I control. The 2nd Altair has the exact same responses to my controls, except I can target him and (if I run him into a wall), kill him. Killing him kills me, sending me back to the beginning of the level. A very Prince of Persia classic-style situation, if it didn't make it impossible to complete the level.

Even if I exit out to the modern day and recontinue, I revert to the autosave that I think is corrupt. I've even turned off my console, reloaded and hit continue only to find the game having the same glitches. I'm scared to think that my save might have actually gone corrupt... of course it happens at the end of the game.

I'm not sure I have any other options, except maybe reverting to an older level to try to get a new save? Oh, also I am unable to leave the level as the game creates a wall."

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I am SO annoyed right now that i waited two years to play a game that I can't even beat because of a glitch. You would think the last level, the most important level, would at least be playable for everyone.

Ridiculous.

On the path going towards the 9th assassination I go past the 3 archers and I fall through the floor. I die, after quite a while, respawn and there is an exact duplicate of myself running around. Fun for a while, you can even assassinate yourself. However, this stops me completing the game. If I can get close to the target I can't kill him -- and the guards don't even react to me assissinating them one by one.

I rang up customer support and told this woman about the glitch. She started laughing, and I was thinking erm yeah, i'm sure you'd laugh after spending 40 quid on this game only to find that you can't actually complete it. I'd rather have spent it on Heroin Hero and just kept on trying to catch the dragon.

This glitch is absolutely ridiculous and I find it hard to believe that none of the beta testers had this problem (assuming of course that they did beta test this ***).

I'm pissed off right now. Posting here is a bit useless, since probebly nobody will have a solution and all i'm doing is venting rage. Maybe ubi might say something? or just laugh at me again...

I made a post yesterday about the XBOX360 version issue with the two Altairs in Arsuf. I would like to add to it by saying that up until that major glitch there had been very little problems. Not one problem with framerate and only a couple with pop in scenery and minor clipping. However, after going back to the game the following day, I was able to complete it. Yet I have noticed that since this large glitch in Arsuf, there have been many, many problems with pop-in of scenery and NPCs along with a couple instances of severe slowdown that lasted minutes.

I was riding around on my horse yesterday outside Damascus and after I had nocked over a few market stalls and ran over a few guards, Altair fell through a market stall and down under the level. You could see the underside of every single building in Damascus. I was going to take a picture but after a while he stopped falling, stood up, and then died. That was the xbox 360 version on the Richard section.

Only one problem for me so far...

On the William de Montferrat assasination, after killing him I jumped up to the ramparts and had the previously mentioned (many times) second Altair running back and forwards on there and jumping down randomly.

Hoping I'm not going to get the end game glitch though... that would be very frustrating!

Ok i can edit my posts now, no more need for double posting http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Gogo firefox.

Ok i've tested the knives bug to death now, and have a definite cause.

The bug is purely Masyaf and playing with the weapon icon of your HUD turned off. Not connected to fast travel, neither is fixing the bug connected to fast travel. Kinda explains why only a few of us hardcode hudless types have encountered it http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Anyhow, visiting Masyaf at any point HUDless will make your stomach knives bug, they'll be visible still, but wont reappear after you pickpocket more of them. If you travel there with 0 knives you will still encounter the bug.

The way to fix is the same as the method you mentioned, but it's different because you dont need to throw away your knives, and you dont need to fast travel to a different city. Just go to any part of the game which causes Altair to be reloaded into the game (aside from masyaf of course.) Kingdom (might work didn't test it) Acre, Jerusalem or Damascus, doesn't matter which. Or if you're already in one of those areas just leave and go back. The game will save, turn the console off and then back on and it'll fix. Altair reloading inside the bureau is what causes the fix. If Altair reloads from a savepoint caused by killing a templar, collecting a flag, or anything else then it wont fix.

hey guys,

So...I had a hard lock on 360 after I killed the 3rd target, while going to the assassin's office. I restarted the game, killed him again, got to the office but crashed again while trying to load the data.
I restarted a 2nd time and managed to go to Masyaf. There I was told I had to kill another 3 targets. But the problem is that none of the obectives appear anymore in any of the cities I go to. Apparently I have to restart the game...

as i'm seeing now, there are a ton of people having trouble with this game - i'm apparently late to the pissed off party. anyway - i just bought AC for my 360 and i'm not even able to get past the title screen. after seeing the amazing intro, i really want to play this game but i am denied by freezing. i've tried the game prolly 10 or 15 times, but as soon as it gets to the title screen it just freezes. the music continues on but i can't do anything, not even back out to the dashboard.

this doesn't happen with any other game i have and i'm sure my 360 is up to date.

anyway, just thought i'd throw my misery out there to the rest of you poor saps...

Hi. firstly before i complain i think this game is the greatest game i every played. Im fine with the very occasionally glitch in my ps3. But i really am pissed off with the big glitch. Im on memory block four and on the last assasination. This is in jerusalum. I have been to every view point but none of the targets like easedrop and stuff like that appear on my map. I have even went back all the way to masurat. I haver been to the assassins beureu like 10 times and all he says if i got the information. I am unable to play anymore. I really want to get on with the game. i am using ps3 update 2.01 or 2.00. please help me!!!! BTW game is amazing anywhere else. another thing that happened once was he just stopped. big freeeze.

Because ps3 owners bought a quality system, not a system that will need overheating mainteneance and will be obselete in 1 year.

At least ps3 owners can put their system on its side. And how the hell were we supposed to know that the ps3 version of A** creed was going to be so buggy? We arent the Idiots, UBISOFT developers are the idiots.

It's called IGN.COM genius.

Anyways, I have noticed that there is one animation where the sword impact sound is not timed correctly with the animation. The sound plays a little before the sword impacts the character.

I registered to the forums just to report that in hopes it will be corrected, as it really draws away from the immersion of the game.

Thanks you.

Alright, there is way too much to read here, so I'm not sure if someone has already brought the problem I am having to light. I've been playing on xbox 360. I got to memory block 6 and everything seemed to be going fine I did what I suspect the be the vast majority of the memory block, BUT when I leave Jerusalem and go to Arsuf as I'm walking down the initial path in Arsuf right after I pass the first of the bowmen the game glitches and my character falls through the ground and just keeps falling into nothingness, I found that occasionally i can get around this, but then it glitches again farther down the path and 1 of 2 things happens, either I randomly fall through the ground again, or I end up with 2 assassins running around, both being controlled by my controller, at first this was kinda cool, but if you end up fighting, guards attack both assassins and it is really difficult to successfully defend with both of them... I don't know what to do about this, I've never had this happen with a game, ever. Are there patches? or is the soul purpose of this forum, to let everybody know that the programmers slacked off and f***ed up?

Not that it seems to do any good, but one more angry and dissatisfied customer checking in.

PS3 version (launch PS3, 60 gig, HDMI connection to a 1080P LCD tv). Within minutes of starting the game, I start getting the 'spikes' or 'cones' artifact that someone else mentioned. Often they'll jut out from Altair, from his belt or around his neck. They actually cast a shadow, and when they intersect a pedestrian, Altair twists as if he was pushing past the pedestrian. Once these happen, they won't go away, and even in the white misty loading screens they'll persist.

I also get them off of the terrain, in this case they often appear to be 'beams' spanning the gaps between walls or buildings.

I've deleted the installed files and reinstalled, no joy. No other game seems to have problems.

Oh, and I hadn't updated my PS3 when I got the game. AC wanted 1.94, so when I installed I updated to that. Had the problem. Now I've updated to 2.01 (or is it 2.1?) and still have the problem.

There's a great game in there, if it actually, y'know, worked.

So no word from Ubi, huh? There's customer service for you.

I have had a couple of diffrent problems.

1. Memory-fast-forward-forever-loop, after the memory finished fast forwarding I started to climb out of the Assassin HQ but before I even got half way it started to fast forward again. I could move for a few seconds before each time. I ended up rebooting.

2. Freezing before the game even loaded. You could just barely see the Assassins Creed logo.

3. Just random matrix like freezes now and then.

Oh, forgot to say that I'm playing on a PS3

I've only encountered two mildly annoying glitches and I've only just assasinated the Doctor.

Earlier on, my Altair was about to jump off his horse and attack a guard guarding one of the Viewpoints (in Memory Block 2). Instead of moving off the horse, he jumped but then stood on the horse's saddle, perched on it like he's perched on a beam or something; he wouldn't move but he could still go into Eagle Vision and I could look around. I'd dropped my controller just before that and I thought I'd broken my controller, but rebooting the 360 (Elite) worked to fix the problem (but it sucked for me, because I'd just gotten past killing a buttload of guards...and I didn't want to go through that again, so I just rode right past them the second time).

The other small glitch was when I jumped into a stall and was trying to fight someone but for some reason I was stuck in a stall of nothingness and even though I should've been able to SEE the stall and the guard attacking me, I couldn't. He was able to slice me up with his sword but I couldn't reach "out" of the stall to fight him unless he leaned into the wall (the wall that was supposed to be there but wasn't there). I had a hard time getting out of the stall even though I knew where the opening was supposed to be, but after some cursing I was able to get out without rebooting.

Could any of these other problems you guys are facing be due to a memory problem? I do not consider myself a gamer at all and my XBox is fairly new...the only other game I've really played on it is Overlord. I noticed that with my Wii even larger, more detailed games will slow up the Wii play; I'd gotten Dewey's Adventure and MySims at the same time but played MySims for a while (addictive >_&gthttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif but then tried Dewey's and loading Dewey's onto our Wii REALLY slowed the crud out of MySims gameplay...even after I'd deleted some of the other game memories of games we never play anymore. I ended up having to delete Dewey's Adventure (even though it's such a funny game with some beautiful graphics) and that made MySims playable again.

After all, the console is merely a computer...and we all know what happens to computers when memory is messed with. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Anyhoo. I really like this game and I sure hope I don't encounter some of these weird 360 glitches I'm reading about! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I'm assuming its been mentioned earlier but I cant be bothered to go through 11 pages and most of what Ive seen seems to refer to the PS3 version.

I have the game on the Xbox 360 and I have been experiencing disc read errors, I know its fairly common from being on other forums, people seem to be having problems with memory block 3 or 4, I too had this problem and entering the final area of Damascus, the disc ended up having two parallel scratches near the edge.

I have since got a replacement and carried on playing and it has been fine up until trying to enter Acre to assassinate my final target, the music kept going off and the xbox got quieter too, I'm assuming its a software fault.

Im not sure if this is a problem with the batches sent to the UK or if anywhere else is having the problem but it needs to be sorted.

First, I'm playing the 360 version.

I'm totally unable to complete the game due to a GAME BREAKING BUG with Arsuf and very annoyed as I wanted to complete it tonight http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

As someone has already stated in this thread I am having problems at the last section in Arsuf. Here is what I happens:

I enter the zone on horse, gallop forward under bridge with running solders, the camera pulls back as if it's about to show a cut scene but nothing happens and I go under the bridge. Then one of three thing happen:

1) If I'm on a horse and on the left part of the road, I fall through the floor, continue falling forever and then die if I get off the horse.

2) If I'm walking and on the left I fall through the floor and die.

3) Sometimes I can't advance after the bridge and it tells me memory not available and gives a wall that I can't pass.

In all situations, if I die I respawn at the start of the section, but now there's TWO ALTAIRS. I control both of them, can attack the other one and if I select the hidden blade and attempt to Assassinate myself the game crashes totally and I have to switch off the 360.

I've got the PS3 version & personally, I've experienced a lot technical problems at Acre in Memory Block 3:
1) Disk reading errors
2) Frozen in mid-air but the camera still moves
3) Frozen in mid-air but there is no camera movement whatsoever.
4) Frozen several times while trying to load the game in the "Void"

p.s. In Memory Block 4, there are no objectives displayed in Damascus.

...Hope that patch comes out soon.

I haven't read through all the pages, for those recent post who had the problems at arsuf, I too had the problem. It was quite annoying until I read somewhere on kotaku that the reason for it is because the second controller is connected to it. So I tried resetting the game and unplugging the second controller and it worked fine.

11-24-2007, 08:08 AM

After doing some research I found out the the Arsuf bug was caused by having my wired guitar hero controller attached while I was playing...

Unplugging the extra controller allowed me to play the section through and now I've completed the game http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I'm guessing Ubisoft must have put in some multiplayer code for testing, maybe to test a concept or maybe to fight another player and didn't remove it on release. Then some bug in the Arsuf section is calling this code on detection of a second controller and causing the bug.

Very very annoying, however proving that if two master assassins were to attempt to assassinate each other at the same time the world would end due to the paradox, that is the 360 hard crashes! (Unstoppable force Vs Irresistible object).

Oh and another bug I noticed while in Damascus, I killed a rooftop archer and he fell onto a market stall head first. His head got caught on the top corner of the stall so his body was hanging by his head and his neck stretched like a piece of elastic so he looked like a mutant giraffe!

I have gotten 2 total system hangs while playing the Normal Edition, USA disc on PS3.
PS3 FW is 2.0.1

Both hangs required a front panel reset (press and hold the power switch on the PS3 front panel for 5 seconds).

The first hang occurred while traveling on horseback between Kingdom and Damascus. After resetting, I was on the path between Masyaf and Kingdom.

The second hang occurred while climbing a ladder in the first section of Acre. After resetting,
I was in the Acre Assassin's Bureau, though I had not yet explored that far.

Now I see videos and forum reports of numerous other bugs in AC. While some are unique glitches (unfortunate but difficult to find in testing), others appear to be more widespread and should have been seen during standard regression testing.

In short, I do not feel that I have gotten what I paid for and am considering returning the game for that reason.

This saddens me greatly. I have been a fan of UbiSoft games since the original RayMan on the original PlayStation. I've trusted the UbiSoft name for ~15 years now and have bought numerous UbiSoft titles simply because they were UbiSoft titles. Assassin's Creed was the latest example of this trust. I know it's just a game, but I feel that my trust in UbiSoft has been violated.

P.S. I've stopped playing for now. I will monitor the forums and decide whether to continue playing or return the game.

Yeah that's another major one... I found out I can throw about beggars or whoever as much as I like or jump on civilian's heads and the guards don't care, but as soon as a crazy person pushed me into a guard it's yield or die time again...

11-24-2007, 02:51 PM

on the 360, here are a couple of issues I've run into:
- there's a ladder that is connected to the side of an outcropping on a building (don't remember the town). When I was fighting some guards, Altair climbed the inside of the ladder (instead of the outside) and of course couldn't climb up the building

- while running from the guards (don't remember the name of the city, but it's the one where one of the targets berates 2 of the guards then kills them), the status indicated yellow, so I hopped into a hay wagon. as the status was flashing blue, the guards surrounded the hay wagon and proceeded to try to attack me. the status stayed flashing blue and I was unable to get out of the hay wagon. could only get out by exiting the game. ended up losing 1 hr+ of game play... :-(

XBOX 360 -

Only Issue I have is at last mission keep falling through the ground, then 2 Assassins appear which is cool cause if you do it right you can take out the big crowds of enemies, but you can lock on to anything cause you attack your mirrored self. I can not beat the last mission due to this. Please give us a release date of a patch for XBOX360 to fix this.

I bought a regular game no limited addition.

bergle2

11-24-2007, 03:31 PM

not sure why I forgot to include this one to my previous post, but I find that the view camera during some fight sequences ends up getting behind an object or person such that it blocks the view of Altair completely and you can't see what's going on. if an object or person is between the view camera and altair (really close so it intersects with the view camera), then the object/person should be translucent so you can see through it...

i found that this happened a lot and got to be very frustrating...

I'm getting the exact same glitch on my 360 too. Basically as soon as I get past the three archers I fall through the world and die (unless I'm on a horse in which case I just fall and sit there in limbo on my horse). If I kill myself by getting off the horse while in limbo I reappear with the clone of myself and then it's possible to get further but the clone attacks me when I attack. It's impossible to get much further because the clone and bad guys keep attacking me.

Later tonight I'll try disconnecting my second controller, which someone said might fix it.

I'm having the exact same problem as above.

I'm using an xbox360..

At first I found it funny falling through the ground, and then it loads again and i have my clone. I even recorded a fight with some soldiers.

Then after falling repeatedly through the ground i got rather tired of it..

Most of the time i can't get past the 3 archers.. , once or twice i got past them .. but the game still gets fruity after that.

I'm ******* furious.. starting the game over over a glitch 2 hours into the game would have been disappointing but something i would do.. but restarting it on the last part.. not a chance.

This sucks donkey balls.

i would say that i get it worse for the 360 than the rest of you 360 fanboys do.

for the past week i've been playing on my limited edition (i'm not sure if there's an ACTUAL difference with the game disc b/t editions but i completely doubt it...and if there is...i'm calling that ******ed) i've already finished it with some minor lags and bugs here and there...

-bg music would skip
-error msg about game disc being dirty or not recognized

after that i tried reloading the first 2nd block with the traitor and the first target. it WOULDN'T load. pissed, i checked the disc which seems to have mysteriously taken one tiny scratch in the middle. time and time again i would either get a error msg OR my 360 would recognize my AC disc as a DVD. again, very angry...i decided to test out my PERFECTLY FINE games such as Halo 3...to my surprise, that TOO was recognized as a DVD...for 3 hours straight it kept saying i had a DVD in my 360 until i loaded Halo 2 which is more scratched up than either of the two and that RAN...may i say wtf?

i've sent it back to EB and opted for a normal version considering the limited didn't really have anything limited about it -_- i've checked the disc, completely clean (i've even formatted my HD) and i ran it again...the game won't even let me get past the loading screen...FROM THE BEGINNING...i can't even PLAY ASSASSIN'S CREED...WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON...

the one game i've been anticipating since PoP won't even work on my 360...whilst all others play perfectly...i'm really disappointed Ubisoft...really disappointed...i was close to coming to a point of having to toss my 360 with the AC disc out the window. i've tried every solution i could think of and read through a lot of pages...and the only solution is if you Ubisoft guys can make some sort of update for the 360. i'm worried you may have permanently ****ed my system up. i'm not sure whether to connect to live or get a HD but please help me...

i played Halo 3 last night and it worked fine. then as soon as i put AC in...it screws up all over again. it won't recognize my Halo 3 disc again...just tells me to open the tray when IT'S ALREADY INSIDE.

i tried the maintenance code and it got me through the very FIRST loading screen ok where it usually froze...then when you wake up after the LSD experience and Lucy loads the tutorial, i keep getting a disc might be dirty error msg...THE DISC IS FRIGGIN FINE! >_<

i've wasted almost 80 bucks on a game i can't even play! >_< i'm not sure if this means getting a new hard drive or worse...a new 360...i'm blaming it on software problems b/c of that damned update...ionno i'm just drunk with anger and frustration.

HALO is a great game. i don't see any bugs or glitches with that game. sure only for some but at least it was relatively minor.

as soon as I get past the three archers I fall through the world and die (unless I'm on a horse in which case I just fall and sit there in limbo on my horse). If I kill myself by getting off the horse while in limbo I reappear with the clone of myself and then it's possible to get further but the clone attacks me when I attack. It's impossible to get much further because the clone and bad guys keep attacking me.

Later tonight I'll try disconnecting my second controller, which someone said might fix it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well that fixed it. I had no problems at all after I had disconnected (switched off) my second controller.

So I found myself having the same glitch as one other lad that I have read so far. I am on my way to the place, just to the left of Acre and I notice the glitches before I get down that path, it is like the soldiers and guards lost all will to fight me, I can walk circles around them and punch them.
Then when I get down that path to the town to meet Robert. I get the where the archers are on the cliff and they don't even realize I am there I kill them and right after that my shadow character shows up, and besides the fact that I can kill him. if he does get left behind somewhere and patroling guards find him, they sit there and beat him to death while he takes it in the pooper. Then when I get to that town I can't get past the gaurd patrol sitting in the way, the game just won't let me go anywhere. Then I try to go back and I fall through the map. Restart/quitting nothing works

***SPOILERS***

The last level where I have to go to that area near Acre to chase down Robert keeps glitching for me. I've had a number of interesting glitches now. All these glitches occur just after the first cliff view, where you can see the hordes of soldiers. Then there is that stone bridge you pass under where you can see Assassin's running on top of it shortly before you get to the archers.

At this point, I have some weird glitches.

-The world behind me ... goes away. The camera moves for a second then everything behind me despawns, and if I backtrack, I fall through the world.

-TWO ALTAIRS: Yeah I've had it where I can see myself about 20 feet ahead of the character I control. The 2nd Altair has the exact same responses to my controls, except I can target him and (if I run him into a wall), kill him. Killing him kills me, sending me back to the beginning of the level. A very Prince of Persia classic-style situation, if it didn't make it impossible to complete the level.

Even if I exit out to the modern day and recontinue, I revert to the autosave that I think is corrupt. I've even turned off my console, reloaded and hit continue only to find the game having the same glitches. I'm scared to think that my save might have actually gone corrupt... of course it happens at the end of the game.

I'm not sure I have any other options, except maybe reverting to an older level to try to get a new save? Oh, also I am unable to leave the level as the game creates a wall. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have the exact same problem, and it makes me really mad that I got this far into the game and now I cannot beat it.
EDIT: when I posted this, I had only read the first 3 pages of this thread. After I posted I noticed the posts above mine saying to turn off second controller. For whatever reason...it actually works. So strange......

I've been enjoying the hell out of Assassin's Creed for about a week now with no issues whatsoever, now i'm on the final mission, and the game is glitching on me majorly.

When i'm walking up the path to kill Robert', all of a sudden there are 2 Altair's on screen, both moving equally and they fight each other whenever you attack, also when you get to the confrontation, all of the guards just stand there and never attack, and no cutscene ever comes on.. I tried reloading the game and that did not help, the same thing happened again, except this time i fall through the floor in certain places but don't die, or can walk through the hils and stuff..

Is anyone having issues like this? It sucks that this happens now.. on the final level after the game has been flawless.. My 360 is not even prone to locking up and has never had issues before.. The game disc is clean..

Oh, also it does not save any of my progress/checkpoints on the way to Arsuf for some reason, so whenever I start over i am all the way back in Jerusalem.

Edit: Here are pictures of the glitch

1. 2 Altair's, http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y23/kepone1978/Assassins%20Creed%20Glitch/AssassinsCreedGlitch.jpg

b. Those people/soldiers you see running waaayyy off in the distance during the last mission ( or at least i assume this is the last mission ).. ordinarily there is no possible way to get to them.. Well, the magic glitch just makes you appear out there.. the funny thing is, these character models are nowhere near as detailed as the ones you see close up, everyone looks a bit blocky/pixelated, not sure if you can tell that from the photo

If you read my post above yours, you will see I had the same exact problem, as did a lot of other people. For whatever reason, turning off your second controller(or more if you have them) will fix this glitch.

The bugs you're describing are all related to the 'second controller issue'. If you have a second controller active the game will start to go wrong when you get past the three archers. You'll find that you first fall through the ground and die - then you respawn and there are two of you. Sometimes the two Altairs can get separated and one of them can go to areas that are usually inaccessible.

These bugs can all be fixed by turning off any second controller that's attached to the game. Quit, turn off any other controllers (make sure only one controller is active) then restart the game - you should be fine after that.

By the way, how do you get screenshots of the game and save them to a computer? Do you have to have Xbox Live to do that or are those simply photos taken with a camera from your TV?

No you can't kill the pepople, they just walk right through you..

The really funny thing is, these people must be designed to only be seen from certain angles or points of view, as you run through them, they disappear and return depending on what angle you are viewing from haha..

I've tried rebooting the system many times, at this point ive tried at least 10-12 times...

Now that i think about it, my second controller has been plugged in and charging for days now.. is it just that simple?

As for the screenshots, there are multiple ways to do it.. I just set up my SLR camera on a tripod , set it to manual mode, wide apperture and short shutter speed and snapped off a few shots, did some basic editing in Picasa and then put them online..

The best way to do it ( for quality purposes ) is to use a TV card in your computer with a component video input, run the 360 through that, maximize the window, then do a normal screenshot ( hit the print screen button on your keyboard, might also be ctrl+ print screen ) then open up MS paint, click edit, then paste then save the image..

I'll try the second controller thing when i get home from work today

That's how I first experienced it. Early on in my second play-through of the game my first controller was running low on battery so I plugged it into the console to charge it and switched to the other controller. 15 hours or so later I'm doing the mission in Arsuf and everything starts going wacky on me. I looked online to see if anyone was having the same problem and I read about the second controller thing. I shut off my second controller and everything was fine.

Just got a PS3; after a year of playing the 360 I am a little disillusioned. I ended up buying Assassins Creed for both systems (360 on release day and PS3 over the weekend)

There seems to be a real big difference in many ways between the two. Obviously PS3 is buggy; framerate, screen tearing, all kinds of weird character pops when free running etc.. It froze twice already, once was a matrix-freeze and once was a complete freeze. The lighting seems the same to me (washed out? not that I can tell!) but the textures aren't as good as 360.

360 never had any real problems. some weird framerate issues in rich district of jerus. and one big glitch where i fell underground in jerus.

Running 2.01-obviously not meant to fix AC; am I to expect this with other games to come for the PS3? When will developers start making quality games. Ugh, I'm so uneasy over it.

So Ubi, I am not satisfied at all. AT ALL. I will remember this. Give us more info on the patch ASAP.

Bugs for the xbox360 version

Dear programmers,

I would like to report some bugs for the xbox360 version of Assassins Creed:

1) The Templar bug:

I had completed the game of Assassins creed. I wanted to start all over, to achieve some achievements. I choose the option "New Game" in the main menu. In Jerusalem where now two Templars who didn't spawn and just didn't existed in the new game. I am sure of this because I have used the Assassins Creed official walkthrough. In the new game you can only kill 58 Templars and not 60. Templar 1 and Templar 2 (numbers in the walkthrough) of the rich district of Jerusalem didn't spawn.

2) Synchronization Bar bug:

After choosing the New Game option in the main menu, you can begin all over, you have started a new game. But the synchronization bar updates keeps remaining. I started with 15 synchronization stripes, normally you start with 4 I think. And it keeps upgrading after completing side missions. So in no time I had a full synchronization bar.

I would like to suggest some tips or advices. I hope you can consider this:

First of all, I think it's a incredible game and you people did a great work!!! The riding on a horse in the kingdom is incredible good and it would give the player a feeling of freedom. But it is totally ruined because of the aggressive stance of the soldiers in the kingdom. If you just ride by a soldier they get angry and want to kill you, even if you don't do a thing. Then if you ride away you keep hearing the annoying beep of that you have them on your tail, but they can't see you. They already lost you but the beeps remains. Now it's not fun to ride through the kingdom, because the soldiers are continues attacking you for just riding a horse and doing nothing wrong. It is so annoying that you here that continues beep and soldiers keeps attacking you even without suspicion.

My suggestion is, that you drop the aggressive stance of the guards, so if you ride by them they don't attack you immediately. And you can ride normally through the kingdom, without getting irritated about this and that annoying beep.

I think a lot of gamers agree with me about these facts.

Hope you guys can fix the bugs with a patch and consider my suggestion.

Thanks for reading this,

Yours faithfully,

Remon Assies

all that you request would require major overhaul of the code. they would never ever include those in the patch. they aren't even really considered fixes. the patch will be to fix technical issues with the code manifesting itself in freezing, framerate drop (maybe) and screen tears (maybe)

I play Assassins Creed on Xbox 360 and I have not really had any problems untill I got to the part where you are suppose to kill Robere ( ? ) after trying to kill him in Jerusalem. Before I can get to him you have to ride to the kingdome and there is only one way to take, right before you get to him Altair falls throug the ground and dies. Whene I respawn there are two of me ! And it is impossible to play because he gets in the way and whene I attack the enemys thay dont react to me, its like I am invissible to theme.

I have seen clips on Youtube of other people with the same problem.

I really hope that you are also working on a fix for this, not only for the problems on the PS3.

Are there any other xbox 360 users having these problems?

Beeryus

11-27-2007, 11:28 AM

BastianVisser, lots of people are having that problem. There's a simple fix - make sure you have only one controller powered-up when playing the game. That fixes the problem.

I cannot complete the game after Memory Block 6 after I kill Robert. From my post here:

"I'm currently stuck on Memory Block 6 (Arsuf); I had killed Robert successfully, after the cut scene though I had to leave for a movie. I let the auto save take place with an extra five minutes, and i turned off my console to leave. I just came back and was so eager to go complete the game, but I loaded back up into Arsuf, next to my horse, but I cannot leave the area. I've gone back and forth and tried different methods of getting out. It was said that I would have to kill the left over guards on the bridges but I cannot without any knives."
