Here is the game icon





Wine version : 1.1.22
Distribution : Fedora
Distribution Version : 10 (32 bit)
Graphics card : Nvidia, GeForce 9xxx
Drivers of the graphics card : 185.18.14
Known Issues

Look here for the script

Hi ! Thank you for your script but I have a problem with it.

I have install Assassin's Creed with your script. The install works with "Don't Patched" option only. When I want to patch Wine 1.1.25, the install works but DirectX doesn't install (the window freeze).

When I use the Wine Patched (1.1.25-AC), the game doesn't launch.

When I use wine 1.1.25 no modify, the game launch. I can navigate on menu and I can become the game but, after the loading screen, I have a white screen and my window doesn't respond me.

Sorry for my bad english and thank you for your futur help.

That was problem with my package, it'll be fixed for 1.1.26. For now i made temporarily fix, so you can try once more with patched version.


No, it doesn't freeze. You have to wait till it finishes and don't do any other task than installing AC.


Do you've got ATI graphic card?

Thank you for your response.

Ok, I'll wait for your new package.

I'll try a new install this evening.

I've a Nvidia graphic card (Nvidia GeForce 7600 Go) with lasts properties drivers.

You don't have to wait for new package. The installation should run successful right now.

For the white screen:
Try to set OffScreenRendering to backbuffer

I try to launch Assassin's Creed with 1.1.25-AC and 1.1.26-AC with I set OffScreenRendering to backbuffer and fbo.

With backbuffer :
My game isn't playable after the first chargement. The game is to slow and I see some bugs.

With fbo :
My game works more slowly than backbuffer setting but I see not bugs.

I use the worse settings.

My configuration :
HP dv9051
Intel T5500 1.67x2
Nvidia GeForce GO 7600

What can I do for playing ?

Thank's for your help.

This is exactly what i experienced. One of the solutions is to get better graphic card.

Ok, thank you for your help.

Hello,
I have similar problem with running this game by PoL.
I used wine 1.1.27-AC but the game doesn't run. When I used wine 1.1.27 game run but after intro movie there is a view when I see "Push any button" - unfortunately any button I pushed the game doesn't response.
Is there anything that I can do to run this game?

I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470. Do you think that it is the source of the problem?

[qoute]For the white screen:
Try to set OffScreenRendering to backbuffer [/quote] where I cane change this option?

Sorry for English, I'm from Poland.

Hello pawdon,

I have an ATI 4850hd and i have the same problem. White screen after the video introduction.

Hello,
I also have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.
And I also have white screen (with very bright Assasin Creed logo) after video introduction.

ATI card is the main cause...

I wonder what would happen when FBO=backbuffer?

Hello,

I'm having trouble starting the game aswell.

Installation went fine except for a "Detection.exe has encountered a fatal error" or something like that.

I couldn't patch the game because I couldn't find the correct file. When I click on run, the Ubisoft Autopatcher is launched, finds no updates, and closes... all in about one second. After that, nothing happens, the game is never launched.

What am I missing? ^^'

NODVD?

Thanks for sharing.Fantastic post. Bookmarked this site and emailed it to a few friends, your post was that great, keep it up.

Last week I installed AC from a DVD using POL. The installation went fine, part from "Detection.exe has encountered a fatal error". The script installs a patched version of wine 1.1.44, called 1.1.44-dinput. When using this patched version of wine to run the game, it stops loading after the update check. But when I select another un-patched wine version(lets say 1.1.40) the game starts and shows the intro followed by the menu. In the menu the mouse is not working (it is force to the middle), but that seems to be normal when using "MouseWarpOverride"="force".

Now my question is what was the idea behind using a patched version of wine?

Old "method" for POL insyallers, not used anymore, I will fix it as soon as possible
