I just installed assassins creed about an hour ago...
I played it up to the ark of the coveneant part and i lagged basically the whole way there with the lowest graphics...

My computer specs are good enough to handle it but it lags continuously...its no fun

The only part it doesnt lag on is the beggining cutscene...but thats it...

Thnx

Thnx for what?

You didn't actually ask a question..

post a dxdiag and some1 may beable to help you.

I have the same problem.

Got a gigabyte intel duo core 2.13 GHZ processor
ATI Radeon HD 3870 graphics card
4 GB ram chucked in there...
(Windows Xp, not vista)

I think spec wise this game should run fine but when playing it lags and the sound gets dragged out aswell, its horribly annoying.
i have tried to turn graphics down and resolution, but it doesnt make any difference. And set it back to default.

The lag stops when I stop running in the game and it seems to catch up. But when start to enter a situation or running, it lags again and the sound jsut drags and gets distorted.
Same happens when going into loading mode...

I have also turned off all startup features and stop any virus program from running, since that seems to lag the comp aswell.

Any one have any suggestions as to what I can do to sort it and have a smooth running Assassins Creed? Or this a case of 'just buy a 360...'

Cheers
