Hi guys,

I'm just wondering what DX mode Assassins Creed 2 defaulty works with? I'm not sure if it's DX9, 10, 11.

Wondering because on my current rig I'm only getting about 40FPS with shadows off and no AA so I was hoping I could knock the DX level down to 9 so I could add a bit more AA.

Cheers
 
It is DX9 only in II. I'm sure I had DX10 but then they patched it out to DX9 because it was having issues.

Assassin's Creed 2 never had DX10, Assassin's Creed 1 supported DX10.1 but it was patched out.

I think it may have been a time/laziness issue as the xBox only renders in DX9 so it would have required more work to add in DX10/11 support for the PC.
 
Read me post! :D The game engine had issues with DX10 or something so they played it safe and did it with tried and trusted DX9.

AC1 worked perfectly under 10.1 ... since AC2 is based on AC1 engine, why would AC2 suddenly have major issues
