Assassin's Creed III requires DirectX runtime DLLs from June 2010 or later to run properly. To get the latest version of DirectX, please visit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8109
DirectX is also provided on the install disc in the folder Support\DirectX.
If you receive an error message about missing DLL files, reinstall DirectX from the install disc to correct the problem.
* It is _not_ advisable to install the game into the Windows folder (usually C:\Windows), a subfolder of the Windows folder, nor the root of the system drive (usually C:\).
* It is recommended to close all other running programs before installing the game, to reduce the risk of software conflicts.
* Mobile Solutions are not yet fully supported and should be considered supported “as is” with the limitations that they impose
