Assassin's Creed Jerusalem Crash Fix and Latest Patch

As reported at Rock,Paper,Shotgun, the pre-release has some bugs and wont load the full game. The crash may be a purposeful one or may not be. But it is a good strategy to play. But it would result in some negative impression on the publisher as the gamers face the unexpected crashes in the game.

As reported here at Gamespot the OEM allowed one of the employees to leave with a copy of the disc who posted it on the internet.

So the fix for the Assassins Creed's jerusalem crash would be to get a new patch for the game. But how could it possibly prevent the piracy as everyone can get the patch.

The latest patch from the Ubi is Update 1.02. And these are the fixes in the patch,

* Fixed a rare crash while riding the horse in Kingdom

* Fixed a corruption of Altair’s robe on certain graphics hardware

* Cursor is now centered when accessing the Map

* Fixed a few problems with Alt-Tab

* Fixed a graphical bug in the final fight

* Fixed a few graphical problems with dead bodies

* Fixed pixellation with post-FX enabled on certain graphics hardware

* Fixed a small bug in the DNA Menu that would cause the image to disappear if the arrow was clicked rapidly

* Fixed some graphical corruption in Present Room with low Level Of Detail

* Character input is now cancelled if the controller is unplugged while moving

* Added support for x64 versions of Windows

* Fixed broken post-effects on DirectX 10.1 enabled cards

What Happened to the RelianceWorld GameBox 2009 National Gaming Championship

Reliance World has conducted a National Championship for Gaming in games like Counter-Strike 1.6, Age of Mythology, Half-Life 2-Deathmatch, Need for Speed: Underground and Warcraft III–Frozen Throne. It has been conducted for two years on 2007 and 2008 but this time in 2009 it is not visible in the web.

The reason can just be lack of competition and participation in the events. There are lot of hardcore gamers in India. But when coming to the participation it the other way. The prize money for the gaming events in 2007 was higher than that in 2008. The prize money for the Counter Strike 1.6 Event in 2007 was Rs. 2,00,000/- and that in 2008 was Rs. 1,40,000/-. This shows the difference in the response of the participants and spectators.

Gaming in PCs Win platform itself is pretty famous as the gamers are not just gamers but they are human beings, who are interested a little more than games, like listening to music, surfing net and all. So getting a dedicated console is like wasting their time and money. And hence the PC is the future of gaming. As gaming is not just for fun, its for interaction and competition. The consoles give a multiplayer capability but sufing net at the same time matters a lot.

Comming back to the processors, the experts are showing much interest towards the AMD Athlon 64 series and Intel Core 2 Duo series of the processors for gaming.
