Summary: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood jerky, has lip synch problems Product: Wine Version: 1.3.16 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
The game installs ok from dvd, and even plays, but it suffers from a lot of jerkiness and lip synch problems.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma4AIinaS3k shows how the opening bits should look (that video seems to be a console, but gameplay appears identical).
The "matrix" scenes and when your character walks into the second room (the arena with the falling floor) are very jerky, rather like how mass effect 2 was slow on first use of shaders. And the lips of the two guys struggling with a dagger, and your character talking to the hologram of Princess Leia, both seem to be out of synch with the sound. There was a jerkiness during that last bit for me, and it seemed the sound kept going but the animation dropped out of sync by just exactly the duration of the jerk.
Rumor has it that disabling glsl might help, but I haven't been able to verify that yet.
