Ubisoft is preparing a patch for the PC version of Assassin’s Creed that will address a number of game-crashing issues that plagued its release - and remove DirectX 10.1 support.

In the past two weeks, players have reported numerous problems, ranging from unnecessarily long exit times to the game conking out whilst trying to connect to an Ubisoft IP address every couple of seconds.

According to Ubisoft’s website, the company doesn’t have an exact date for the release of the patch but says “we’re hard at work and hope to have further updates soon.”

Unfortunately, the patch will also remove support for DirectX 10.1, so Ubisoft can tweak it.

PC gamers and handheld players will have to wait two weeks longer than originally anticipated for the PC port of Assassin’s Creed and the DS spin-off, Altair’s Chronicles.

Both originally dated for February, Ubisoft previously delayed them until March 28, only to now move them further back to April 11.

Speculation suggests that they may have been pushed back to fall into the fiscal year of 2008-2009, but no explanation has been reported by Ubisoft so far.

The console original was criticised for a lack of variety once you progress into the game. Ubisoft is trying to iron out the complaints with four new investigation types.

And they are; Archer assassination, rooftop race challenge, merchant stand destruction challenge and escort challenge.

In the words of Technical Lead Charles Beauchemin: “The archer assassination requires the player to assassinate the archers in a dedicated zone without being seen. In the rooftop race challenge, the player will meet an informer and will have a set amount of time to reach a second informer.

“In the merchant stand destruction, some merchants have ties to the assassination target and their activities must be stopped by Altaïr. Finally, in the escort challenge, the player needs to securely escort a fellow Assassin from point A to point B.

“We included 4 new investigation missions to increase the variety so in total, we now have a total of 9 investigation missions. Also, you can now skip from one city to another without going through the kingdom once you visited every city.”

Sounds like they’re doing their jobs then. Beauchemin also notes that Ubisoft has “modified the reaction of guards in certain occasions,” such as “blending when close to a dead body”.
“Also,” he says, “the reaction of the guards to stealth assassination is now based on the number of NPC around you making it more realistic. If there is no one around you, guards will spot you much faster and if the crowd is bigger, you won’t be spotted that fast.”

Following in the wake of the critically acclaimed and worldwide console hit Assassin’s Creed, the PC version entitled “Assassin’s Creed, Director’s cut edition” will feature four brand new exclusive types of investigations, thus providing even more ways for players to explore the various locations of the Third Crusade.

Players will assume the role of the main character, Altair, and will work to stop hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict and experience the art of a master assassin. With more than 5 million units of the console versions sold to date worldwide since its mid-November 2007 launch, Assassin’s Creed PC is set to expand upon this success.

“We are thrilled to bring Assassin’s Creed to an eager PC audience and we anticipate the game will resonate with them just has it has across the other platforms,” said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “Assassin’s Creed is a game that must be experienced firsthand to fully understand how dynamic and meaningful this title has become for video game fans worldwide.”

Assassin’s Creed for PC is rated “18+” by PEGI.

Assassin’s Creed is easily one of the most unique gaming experiences of this, or any other year. The emphasis is on “experience’ as the awe-inspiring articulation of the Crusades-era Middle East manages to make mere travels through cities and the rural countryside pleasurable as you absorb the details that make this hyper reality sublime in it’s perfection. The gameplay itself, be it the preternatural climbing and running, or the brutally effective combat, are so deceptive in their initial simplicity that you are unprepared for how complex, strategic, and arrestingly visceral they will eventually become. The writing as well is mature in a way that has little precedence. A subtle and thoughtful storyline doesn’t fall prey to the sophomoric technique of upending all reality in a perfect 180 degrees but, instead slowly peels back motive to reveal a moral ambiguity free of nihilism yet more troubling in its sincerity. In the end, this is a game that has stayed with me well after completion and I know I will be returning to for many gaming generations to come.
