Additional Comments
Game runs without problems in video (This time works on ATI with postprocessing effects), sound and mouse
Tested on: Wine 1.5.8, Wine Ver Default XP, CDEmu for drive installs (Daemon Tools on Linux), AMD A4 3300 2.5Ghz, IGP ATI Radeon HD6410D 1024MB Shared memory, 4gb (2x2) DDR3 1333, ATI Catalyst 12.6 aka 8.98, Linux Mint 13 Maya 32bit
1.) You can improve game performance with this registry settings:
[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"VideoMemorySize"="896"
Set VideoMemorySize to correct amount of RAM for your graphics card.
2.)Run the game with WINEDEBUG=-all command (note: if you want to submit bug and post error logs, make sure you are NOT using this command)
3.)Make sure you have latest official drivers installed for you graphics card.
HOWTO
The game can be installed and patched.
To make the game start up with wine you need to add d3dx9_36.dll to .wine/system32
There is easy way to fix the mouse problem, just add this registry key:
You will have to use keyboard in menu with this settings, but in game mouse is working without any bugs.

Keyboard Input Not Being Detected In KDE (but works in Unity)
by Stephen Wayne Hamilton on Monday January 21st 2013, 2:14
First, I would like to say that this is my first post on any WINE-related website. Second, I'm using PlayOnLinux rather than running WINE directly, since I found WINE alone to be a bit confusing. But anyways, I have successfully installed the game into its' own prefix. I have the prepatched digital version of the game sold at GOG.com/Good Old Games. That version installs DirectX and the NVIDIA PhysX utility for you. I had the game working successfully before on just plain WINE, and it does work for me now under POL, but only under Ubuntu's Unity (12.10, x64). I have applied the registry fix stated in the first post and that prevents it from crashing on startup. I did not use the fix for the mouse since my performance and FPS is very good and my mouse works fine. I tried the mouse fix and it resulted in my cursor being stuck in the center of the game's main menu (dead center of my screen as well).
But.....when I try to launch it under another desktop environment like KDE (which is the only other one I've tested thusfar) it gets to the main menu and asks me to select profile/create profile/etc. My mouse works fine and I can click on the Create Profile button, but I cannot type a name and therefore it makes no sense to try to go any further, since my mouse isnt going to work ingame if it's not working at the main menu.
What might be causing this and what can I do to solve it? I would much rather run the game in KDE since it seems to have fewer issues than Unity in regards to WINE games being able to go into fullscreen mode properly.

DX10/No Start
by FreakyCheeseMan on Tuesday October 30th 2012, 17:55
Every time I attempt to start the game (through Steam) I get an error "The application AssasinsCreed_DX10.exe has failed to start), and the game crashes.
Wine versions
by Booman on Monday October 29th 2012, 8:03
Assassin's Creed installs fine
After updating dll's & components game will lock-up at least every minute for a few seconds.
Can not rotate camera 360 degrees in game
Does not launch with Wine versions:
1.5.12 - won't launch
1.4.1 - internal errors
1.4 - internal errors
1.3.28 - won't launch
1.3.14 - launches, short game freezes, mouse lock problems
1.1.42 - launches, short game freezes, mouse lock problems
Short game freezes: Once the game launches, it freezes at least every minute for 2 seconds, recommended fix is d3dx9_31 set as native?
Mouse Lock problems: Setting Mouse warp override as default or enable causes the mouse to move outside of screen prohibiting movement. Setting as force causes jerky or low-resolution movement.
Game Crash when I select Damascus in Memory Block 5
by Arucard on Tuesday September 27th 2011, 18:57
Apart of some little slowdowns, I had playing very well the game until I reach the Memory Block 5 (Damascus and Acre).
When I selected Damascus from Masyuf (a quick menu when exit the Assassins headquarters) or ride a house in Kingdom to Damascus, the loading process to Damascus fails with the pop-up Wine's debug crash message.
The odd thing is the previus Damascus missions don't have such issue, and it this I can't finish the game!
I ran Crysis on a video card ati hd 2600xt, but the mouse was working badly, with the set value in the registry "MouseWarpOverride" = "force" the mouse is no longer ride on the screen. And there are small artifacts. Sorry for my English.

Vanishing Post Video
by Jacob Bartholoma on Thursday July 1st 2010, 21:42
The game installed fine, and patched fine. I fire it up, and it plays the intro videos,and then simply vanishes, with nary an error message. I am new to unbuntu, so if there is somewhere I have to go to access error messages, then perhaps there is one I am unaware of. Regardless, I would appreciate help in this matter.
'Jerky' movement when moving
by Vlad on Wednesday June 9th 2010, 1:58
Installed and configured game as per instructions; Thanks!-)
One problem I have though is when I move the character (ie. forward), the movement is not smooth, but jerky. The one thing I noticed is when I'm stationary the control HUD (on the right top ) indicates the available options (ie. eagle vision). When I move, however, the eagle vision disappears, but re-appears at the same time the puppet stops despite me pressing the forward key continuously; hence the 'jerky' movement.
Can't find CDRom.

Assassins creed comes back with "please insert the Correct CD Rom" and shuts off, even though I have the correct cd in there. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and wine 1.2-rc2. The detect utility failed upon install.
How to get it working
by Tye on Sunday May 16th 2010, 8:09
ok first, you want to create a new wineprefix so if anything gets messed up you can just delete it and start again. optionally you want to set up any special folders and set up your audio (I use ALSA since pulseaudio uses the ALSA mixer anyway)
replace username with your username
WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine-backup winecfg
any recent version of wine will create the prefix for you so you don't need to do the extra step, just config. make sure you click on the audio tab and choose your audio.
next, you want to open regedit for this wineprefix and tell it your graphics memory.
WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine-backup regedit
navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine and right click in the folder pane (the left one). choose New > Key (twice). the first one you will name Direct3D and the second one you will name OpenGL. in both of these, right click in the data pane (the right one) and choose New > String. name them both VideoMemorySize. I have a 512MB DDR2 video card so I entered 512. make sure that the number is to the right of the name. close regedit.
install the game using the wineprefix you created. this will look something like:
skip the directx setup. when it opens, click cancel.
download d3dx9_36.dll from dllfiles www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_36 (if you dont trust it then just google d3dx9_36.dll and download another one). copy it to /home/username/.wine-backup/windows/system32.
copy your wineprefix so that if you have any problems that makes it so you would have to reinstall you can just copy the prefix over.
Hi all,
This may sound like a rather stupid question, but I'm rather new to all this and by no stretch of the imagination a coding buff.
When the game finishes installing, it comes up with a detection.exe error, then when trying to play the game, an AssassinsCreed_dx9.exe error.
I understand that by setting the KERNEL32.SetThreadPriorityBoost to true, it should fix the detection problem but, my question is, how do I do this? I need a dummie's guide :P
Also, how do I fix the second dx9 problem?
I'm running on 10.5.8, X11 2.5.0, Wine 1.1.35, if it helps.

Antialiasing anyone?
by Old Lodge Skins on Saturday April 3rd 2010, 9:33
Hi all,
I've successfully installed and launched AC thanks to the instructions I found here. It's running maybe a bit slowly at times but playable.
The only thnig that seems not to be working is the antialiasing... I've tried everything: setting it in-game (the setting's available at my resolution (1440x900)), editing the .ini file, forcing it through Nvidia's control panel, lowering the resolution... No result. It's supposed to be on but obviously doesn't work.
Is anyone here using AC with antialiasing turned on? It works fine in other games (I have GTA:SA running fine with 4xAA set in Nvidia's control panel, same thing for Wow).
My configuration: OpenSUSE 11.2 64 bits/ Wine 1.1.41 (had tu use 1.1.28 to install then went back to 1.1.41) / E6500 / 2GB / POV GeForce GT240 512MB. Nvidia's drivers version is 190.53.

Has anyone solved this problem, which appears to exist only on ATI graphic cards (Radeon HD4650 in my case), yet? Native dlls used are only d3d9x_36 and xinput1_3.

Sorry - MouseWarpOverride=force works to fix the 360 degree turn problem, my bad. Performance is still kinda sucky compared to a native windows launch. (NVidia 9800GT 1GB PhenomII 9750 4GB OpenSuSE 11.1x86_64)
Game Progress doesn't save
by SiegeMachine on Tuesday September 22nd 2009, 17:36
I've found out after doing an assassination that once you are supposed to leave the beaureu after sleeping that the game gets stuck with no UI as if you are in a video and you can't run and things and the game progress doesn't save, nor does it register that you just talked to the beureau leader and so the game cannot go to the next memory block. Story line is unable to be completed
Slow Play
by SiegeMachine on Saturday September 19th 2009, 0:13
My game runs at like half the FPS I get on Windows XP, its not as bad as some others I've read but Its about 10-20. I was trying those registry tweaks but I get errors that I don't have DirectInput or Direct3D sections and that it can't add the key, how do I add the tweaks to see if they make my game run faster?

not working for now on ati
by Carlos Rodriguez on Saturday September 12th 2009, 2:47
game runs until main video and after shows only white screen but sound is good in amd phenom x3 8450 - ati HD3200 igp with 512 shared memory - ATI Catalyst 9.9 - Wine 1.1.29
got it working with wine 1.1.28
also on a old system
it loads plays the intro movie
still trying to tweak settings so its playable
the system i've got it on is this
ubuntu 9.04
amd sempron 2800(1.6ghz)
512MB ram
80GB HDD
GeForce FX 5500
like i said havnt got to play it, but at least i can watch the intro now!! wouldnt even do that in winxp on the same system
current wine, assassin's creed DVD.
I installed without problems
Updated without problems
Will not launch.
Replaced DLL and applied NOCD Fix.
Still no launch.
auto updater pops up for a second and when it should launch the game i get nothing. No splash screen, nothin'.
Wine 1.1.22 Experience
by Xyem on Monday June 1st 2009, 9:37
I have a 6600GT and while I have to tone down the graphics nearly all the way in Windows, it's very playable :)
After nuking my Windows partition by mistake ( 'sudo dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sda' ) I tried running it under Wine.
It runs pretty well generally speaking, slightly slower than Windows but playable. However, once I leave Masyaf, the game loads the Kingdom but freezes at a fully white screen during the transition from the "tutorial" world to the Kindgom.
Fresh .wine folder with DX9 installed through winetricks, the two dlls set to 'native' and the mouse warping fix.
I fixed it by adding a string key to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D called VideoMemorySize and setting the value appropriately for my videocard.
Sound issue?
by Florian on Friday January 2nd 2009, 7:56
I discovered this during gameplay:
In the first town where you talk to the "master" of the Assassins or whoever he is, the dialoges are played fine. But later in the poor district of Damaskus, in the Assassin Bureau for example the dialogues are not completely played. Sometimes you hear nothing, sometimes you only hear what Altair says.
Somebody confirm this?
Performance much better in Wine 1.1.11
by Radosław Ciechowski on Monday December 29th 2008, 8:19
Performance in Wine 1.1.11 was improved, now I can play the game on max settings ! (before in Wine 1.1.10 only low were playable for me). I will submit report, after some longer gameplay.
I used aoss WINEDEBUG=-all wine-pthread to run the game, some registry settings (offscreenrenderingmode=fbo, directdrawrenderer=opengl and videomemorysize) and OpenGL set to "High Performance" in Nvidia Settings.
locks up then continues
by shnull on Tuesday October 21st 2008, 4:22
Core2Duo 2,66, 6Gb of ram, gt8500 wine 1.1.6 intrepid 8.10 and hardy 8.04 64 bit
the game installs fine and runs actually quite well just that it locks up like every 30 secs for 2 secs and then continues, which makes it ofcourse, unplayable ... any suggestions or does this sound familiar to anyone ?
