Sorry, but mine still crashed 20 seconds into the game.

[Ruskie1989]

20 sec into the game?

Try downloading the latest drivers for your video card and see if it helps, i used to have the same problem with crysis crashing all the time but after i updated my drivers it was fine.

MAN THIS WORKED !!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!`

[nickelpat]

Now what are we supposed to do? I'm not understanding this.

[Ruskie1989]

download the rar file, extract, copy and paste the 2 files into your assassins creed directory and make sure you replace them (both DX9 and DX10 files). Play the game.

[indelible]

It fixed the error but I'm wondering what you did to fix it. Any chance you could share your wisdom with us lesser beings? :-P

[andalh]

It worked for me, just wonder if it will clash with the patch that they will have to produce to fix all the other stuff

[slait1972]

Looks like a standard "no-cd" fix to me, but it didn't solve any crashes. I updated my video drivers and it hasn't crashed since using the official install. And yes, if the patch the game these would likely be rendered useless.

[Ruskie1989]

If everything works fine after you replaced those two files then leave it alone unless the game is unplayable and you really need to install a patch.
@slait1972: It's not a standard no-cd fix because a friend of mine had altered the two files to stop the game from crashing every 10-20 minutes or so on his pc and it also worked on mine.

*PM me for help or for the link if you need it.
