    Anyway to fix this?

    I noticed what appeared to out of sync audio during the first assassination in Damascus. That's the only problem I've seen so far, but then again I don't know if it was actually out of sync or if it wasn't programmed very well.

    A patch will probably be released soon that will fix the problem. Don't worry about it too much, just enjoy the game! I've heard it's great.

    I didn't notice at all. So either mine is in sync or not out by much. I usually pick up on those things.

    Yeah for me it's off track by atleast a second. For example the master says "you" and then a little while later he points at Altair and I see him mouth the word lol.

    Oh and btw, what is that "Post FX" option in the graphical options menu?

    I was wondering this myself. I think it can be loosely translated "After effects" so perhaps player/death/etc animations that add to game immersion?

    Found this in the readme:

    "If using Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or nForce Audio, you may experience sound anomalies. To work around the problem, reduce the Hardware acceleration slider to 'Basic' in the Windows Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio tab -> Advanced -> Performance tab."

    But Vista doesn't have that option. So what to do?

    Heh,I used Realtek High Def Audio. So when I get the game I`d better reduce the hardware acceleration. Thanks.

    Post FX are Post Processing Effects - advanced graphics like Bloom, HDR, etc.
