If you know how to fix this please tell me...

That's not exactly lag and it's not because of the game, it's because of your HDD or processor, try to defragment you HDD, or stop your antivirus, if you have one, maybe close other HDD intensive programs that run in the background (again, if you have such programs running).

I tried closing my AV it has no effect. I am going to defrag my HDD and update on the result.

that never crossed my mind thanks.

I tried your suggestions and it didn't work :( ... btw this kind of thing happens even when the game loads with the ubisoft video it stops for a sec or two... any other ideas?

I read somewhere that it could be a spy server or something, to turn off your internet connection, so I did - now it works fine. That sounds wrong, like when Sony had spyware installed when you listened to their CDs...PoweredByBalls

GOD DAM YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok It seems that that's the problem and turning off the internet connection is a workaround but any ideas on how to remove this spy or disabling it so that you don't have to close the internet connection every time you want to play... or at least any ideas on where is it or that is it called...?

Yep, same thing was happening to me. I went to the network and disabled the Internet connection and it worked fine.

Thanks for this thread. I started playing AC again a few days ago and was having the same problem-thought there was something wrong with my computer.

Wow that's crazy. If I would have known about this I wouldn't have purchased the game. Any official word from Ubisoft? I don't really want to unplug my modem everytime I feel like playing AC.

Ok Ok everyone... I think i know what the problem is... Assassins Creed has a built in spyware that sends info about kills in the game or somthin... and it seems that their spy server is down... so basically every time ac tries to send something to ubisoft it waits for a response and because the server is down they don't get anything causing it to have this "lag/freeze" ... hope they will fix this soon...

[ although i don't get why they would monitor your kills or ... anything ... o_O strange.... ]

It would be cool if there was a stats page for everyone. :P But otherwise I don't see why it would keep track of kills.

[QUOTE="jupsto"]I'm glad I played this on my brothers 360 instead of buying a bad PC port. I'm really looking forward to AC2 and hope they port it better since its coming out at the same time. it seems ubi make alot of buggy PC games and don't seem to do alot about it.DanielDust

That is what I thought too. It runs fine and dandy, and looks nice and smooth, except for the damn Internet thing that is happening. I unplug the Internet and it runs fine.

I think it may be fixed now. As I went online and played the game. It ran smooth.

well actually ubisoft doens't send "kill stats" to the server it's a anti piracy protection software, or spyware if you prefer to call it that. it sends to the server information of the game like the CD key, if the exe is cracked and so on so forth. it checks for legitimacy the whole time you are playing the game. that's why it lags.
