Screen Flickering of Assassins Creed 2 making it next to impossible to play - SOLUTIONS!

[AkYoN77]

These are all the things I tried, to fix the flickering issue. For most people any one of these methods should work and fix the game if not a combination of these methods.

1. Run the game in windows 7 compatibility mode.

2. Goto installation folder> right click on AssassinsCreedIIGame.exe> properties> compatibility> Disable full screen optimizations (sometime you will have to toggle Run as Administrator as well).

3. Nvidia Control Panel (Geforce Experience was rebranded as Nvidia app) . This game is not supported in the app so you don't need to use it. In the app goto 3d settings> Adjust image settings with preview> and set it to use advanced 3D image settings. Then goto Manage 3D settings in the side panel> program settings> if you don't see Assassins Creed 2 in the list> click add>find the installation folder> click on the .exe file and add it to the list.
Change settings to let the game decide refresh rate, vertical sync and resolution. This will let you adjust the settings in the game. If these settings are controlled by the Nvidia control Panel or if you want it to be controlled by the Nvidia Control panel, then the above settings need to be set to Resolution:Native, VSync: ON, Refresh Rate: 60Hz.

4. https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedii/mods/180?tab=description This mod is supposed to fix the screen flickering issue if the above methods fail.

5. This is the final method I tried and which worked for me.
Disabling all overlays when running Assassins Creed 2. Disable Nvidia, Discord Medal.tv etc. If these don't work look at your system to see what other overlays you have active and try disabling those. In my case it was disabling medal.tv overlay that fixed my flickering issue.

I hope this post helps fix your game. I'm in love with this game and spent days trying to figure out what the problem was.
May your blade strike true and you disappear into the shadows.
The Brotherhood shall forever follow you.

P.s: Keep track of the settings your are changing incase you need to revert them back.

Hallo,

es gibt noch eine Möglichkeit und Lösung warum das Bild in Assassins Creed II flackert und auch Brotherhood kann davon betroffen sein.
wenn man das Spiel, auf dem gleichen PC, mit OBS aufzeichnen oder streamen möchte sorgt die Spielaufnahme oder auch Vollbilaufnahme der Quelle ebenso für flackerndes Gameplay.
die Lösung ist einfach eine Bildschirmaufnahme machen dann ist es weg

Disabling the Nvidia app overlay alone fixed it for me.
