Assassin's Creed II

I stalk him. He never suspects. My steps quicken, a futile attempt to catch the pace of my pounding heart. Like a fat child chasing its fleeing deadbeat parent. I smell the dirt, the flavors, the stink of humans. It violates my nose and teases my focus. Of no concern. I cradle the bracer with my free hand. Soon. Soon, it will be. He stops, unawares. Ripe. Exposed. I gather my nerve and prepare to...Connection to server lost. Trying to reconnect and reload last checkpoint.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native. The game is a combination of 16:9 anamorphism and Hor + behavior in widescreen resolutions. All aspect ratios narrower than 16:9 use letterboxing to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio and all aspect ratios wider than 16:9 use a combination of Hor + behavior and pillarboxing.

There are some fixed-camera events in the game that have pillarboxing in aspect ratios wider than 16:9. A video link of the behavior is provided below.

Black Bars FIX: Depending on aspect ratio, copy all content from the archive Assassins_Creed_II_BlackBars_FIX.7z. Fix available from the PCGamingWiki Community Files.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:
