This is in reference to the original Assassin's Creed.
Only 5 months ago I was playing Assassins Creed without any problems at all. The other day I reinstall it and open up my old save, and the game is completely unplayable with massive hitching/stutter.
I've tried starting new profiles, reinstalling the game, various driver combinations and even reverting the PC back to exactly how it was last time the game worked properly, but I still can't shake this damned stutter. It's odd, because in the loading area (empty blue void), it's completely smooth. In fact, when I started a new profile, I didn't see any stutter until I left Masayf. But the moment I get into kingdom it starts. It's always worst in kingdom, but it still appears in big cities also.
I just bought AC2 as well, and although I haven't played much, it seems to be suffering from the same issue (maybe to a lesser extent).
This is ridiculous, because my PC can easily maintain 60fps throughout the whole game. One thing to note is that when the stutter happens FRAPS shows the framerate flicking one or two fps above or below 60. Without the stutter, FRAPS would always show a steady 60fps (locked by V-Sync.
I heard about the internet connection stutter/pausing issue, and I tried playing the game disconnected from the net. It made no difference, but I didn't think that was the problem anyway, as my stutter is very frequent, and there are no specific pauses when I kill guards etc.
Can anyone help me fix this?
