    Hi. I just installed this game and applied the 1.01 patch, but the game is unplayable: it just runs too fast, everything from the ubisoft intro to the game itself. The res is 1280x800 maxed out(except AA-off). I think i saw this problem on very old games which when ran on a powerfull pc they just run so fast they're unplayable. It seems my laptop is too powerfull for it :D

    Pls help. Thanks in advance

    I have a feeling Packard Bell have something to do with this since they build a ton of useful feature like a a battery that is built not to hold charge in a laptop etc etc.

    PB rant aside, you might want to e-mail consumer technical support of the developer has one.
