Assassins Creed
Assassin’s Creed Unofficial Game Port for Mac OS X.
Latest version:0.7 with the font bug fixed! Please download the latest versions at the downloads section.
Post anything you want to say on this project subject as reply here.
IMPORTANT: THESE WRAPPERS ARE NOT THE GAME. THEY ARE SMALL (˜40MB) “BUBBLES” BASED ON WINE IN WHICH YOU CAN PUT YOUR ORIGINAL INSTALLED ASSASSINS CREED GAME (˜6GB) AND RUN IT UNDER MAC OS X WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE.
DO NOT EXPECT THE GAME IN IT, ACQUIRE THE GAME IN STORES!

For those who needs help with the Wrapper, please consult the included RTF for instructions.
Some notes:
- You need the game installed on windows. For that you can use any windows 30 days trial to install on other computer, or on a emulated pc like in parallels and VMWare.
- You can also use native emulators like Wine/Darwine/CrossOver to install the games into a dir, then pick the files from this directory.
- You need to, after install the game, pick the wrapper – which is a .app file – right click in “show contents” then drop the whole 6 to 7GB of game inside the Ubisoft folder indicated on the readme
- If you experience low framerate or graphics bugs, please report together with your hardware specifications like the mac model number or the Graphics card used.
- Version 0.7 seems to be faster on ATIs and slower on Nvidias. So take a look at the older versions, you will experience a fonts bug when using numlock or command keys from your keyboard (like shift, control, option, alt, etc) but its just cosmetical, 0.6b runs the game from begining till the end.
- If you experience strange sound, try changing your Sample rate 44.1Khz/48Khz/96Khz to see what comes better. This is done in MIDI CONFIGURATION UTILITY which is integrant part of Mac OS X – just seach for “midi” on spotlight and it will appear.
- This initiative was started by Insanely Mac member locoputo, at the time he realized the potential of porting games and www.portingteam.com was created to deal with that. Take a look at the original threads there for more games!
- Report your experiences and doubts! Im here to help in what i can!

Hi Cartri,
I downloaded your Assassins’ Creed Cider port via torrent. After downloading, i start up Assassins’ Creed, all is perfect except when i go to start a “New Game”…it auto returns to my desktop and has an error message as follows;
“Unhandled page fault on read access to 0×00000000 at address 0×00000000.
Do you wish to debug it?” (clicking yes or no has no effect as it just quits the game automatically)
Is there any way to fix this problem please? Any help would be immensely appreciated. I am running the game with the 13″ Macbook w/ 160GB hard drive, 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo, 2GB RAM.
Thanks
Probably ur GFX its not supported.
Yeah, I’m affraid you can’t do anything about it… I got that error on my 13” Macbook with about the same specs as yours, but it runs fine on my father’s iMac.
Which specs?
Macbook: 13? Macbook w/ 80GB hard drive, 2 GHz intel core 2 duo, 2GB RAM, GMA X3100. I read somewhere that GMA is not supported so I guess this is the problem…
My father’s iMac: I don’t know exactly, but it is about one year old and was the most powerfull iMac of the series at that moment. ATI graphics card, 600 GB hard drive, 4GB RAM… I can check later if you would like to know the exact specs.
Yeah, unfirtunately gma is not supported. Gf9400M is too low performance to play too, i hope the new version will help gf9400m/gt320m macbooks
Hi, just to let you know that the game works fine for me on lowest settings on my 2.26Ghz GeForce 9400m 4GB RAM.
Thanks very much!
hello Catri,
nice, thaanks. but how come its a bit laggy even on low graphic setting? =/ i have no problem running other decent games and im on 10.6.3 and nVidia 320m 2.4 intel core duo 4GB RAM.
wish you luck on the 0.7 wrapper. it hope it comes soon
Hi! This is a beloved project of mine that I am being unable to give the deserved attention. Check @ google for the wikipédia arcticle named comparison of nvidia gpus. See hoe much gflops your board does: you should need at least 350 for it to run fine in the actual wrapper. I was expectong to bring more speed on 0.7 but, besides it fixing the fonts bug, brought a even slower experience so I need to search for more sources for a better hybrid and do some more tweakings, or it would be a step back instead of forward…
I have the iMac 3.06 GHz, 27″ with the ATI Radeon HD 4670, 6 GB RAm, Mac OS X 10.6.4.
I was playing the game on my Windows 7 (Bootcamp) partition at very high settings with no graphics problems and very smoothly indeed. I have since reformatted the disc due some serious problems that crashed my entire system, traced back to a bug in Parallel Desktops. I did not repartition for Windows in the new installation and probably won’t.
SO naturally I would like to finish the game inside your wrapper. But from what you’ve written here the wrapper can not support on chip graphics! Can you if you intend to make a version that would play on these iMacs? Or am I misunderstanding something. Also your read me file that downloads with the wrapper you say the came should go in this order.app/Contents/Resources/Ubisoft. Since there is no Ubisoft folder in the Resources folder, I also tried putting the game into Ubisoft you have provided in the C drive, and still nothing happens.
If my hardware can in fact handle the game, could you please kindly clarify exactly where the AC folder should be placed?
Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
VM
Hello Vishy,
You should put your game contents side by side with the .exe provided, without deleting this .exe – you will easily understand the tree of files when you see the file im saying (acdx9.ee something like).
Try restarting from zero
Thanks Cartri
I worked it out that the structure was like that when I looked at it properly.
It runs very well on my 27″ iMac but it has the problem I had with it the last time I tried the skin… The game looks gorgeous but there are NO BUILDINGS!!!! The buildings seem to be invisible at every setting! Is that a problem with my graphics chip or with iMacs in general?
Damn I really wanted to finish this puppy! VM
“Unhandled page fault on read access to 0×00000000 at address 0×00000000.
Do you wish to debug it?” Debugging the game or not won’t have any effect…
Got this message while trying to run the game…
I have a MacPro 2.66, 1TB HD, 2 nVidia GeForce 7300GT & 8800GT graphic cards, 14GB RAM…
Assassin’s Creed v0.6b…
So why is the game not running ?
i have rexently downloaded your wrapper v0.6b unzipped the contents but all i could find in the folder were instructions saying “put your game files under —.app/Contents/Resources/Ubisoft”
i have an imac running version 10.5.8
dont worry new problem i placed the game files in app/contents/reesources/tramsgaming/c_drive/Ubisoft didnt over write the files already in there ran it on my mac but all that happens is the icon shows it is running but no screen appeares.
Mabey i am missing something mabey i am placing the files in the wrong place. if i am doing something wrong please clarify
ERRATA: PLEASE PUT YOUR GAME CONTENTS UNDER .APP/CONTENTS/RESOURCES/TRANSGAMING/C_DRIVE/UBISOFT
path already corrected in new file download.
Hi, i have a problem, i have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo but the game works slowly and also i can’t see walls and floors! any suggestion on what should i do?! thank you very much!
hi this will be the first game i have used a wrapper and i have no idea wat to do can u plz tell me

so i can’t install the game using crossover games?
Yes you can! anything that puts the files under the ubisoft dir. Wine is accepted
ok tyvm but when i put my cd in and i make a new bottle and it says
play
install/uninstall
register
readme
quit
when i press install nothing happens do u no why? srry if im bugging u im new to this
Just now find the virtual C drive of your bottle, inside it you will have programfiles then ubisoft
Dear Cartri,
my compliments. You are an example how to talk polite.
Thank you, mister.
And today I am very ashamed of what i had to do
It works great on my MacBook 7,1,
- 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- 2 GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DD3 SDRAM shared with main memory
I can’t see floors and walls! What should i do? apart from that the game runs excellently.
PLEASE HELP
“I can’t see floors and walls! (…) apart from that the game runs excellently”
Thank you, Id like to have half the optimism you show!
Lets try different renderers and configurations, can you specify you machine (includig graphics card and os version)
Hi, im trying to run the assasins creed on imac 27″ Intel Core i7 2,93Ghz with the ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024MB and i can run the game with high performance options, but the textures (usually from the floor and many buildings) are hidden, i tried to run with the basics graphic options too and many other graphics options combinations but i get the same result, i tested too the other versions like 0.6 or 0.6b but the problem persists.
Thank you for your time and good work.
My OS version is Mac OS X 10.6.4
Hey, I tried use wrapper on my iMac, since I has some video problems on windows xp bootcamp, and some unresponsive magic mouse.
I just wanted to know if with your wrapper I can:
- Delete the existing profiles and create a new one.
- Max out all video options without any problem.
Thanks a lot !!
mp.
Yes, you can delete the existing profiles, they are there just for people who might have problems with the tutorial and start of the game (fixed in 0.6). The video option you will have to try and see how much your gpu will be able to handle, just test it
Anyone experienced laggy mouse at only some keys working on keyboard [Enter], when running 0.7? 0.6b seemed to start up fine, but the font bug really annoys me.
Thanks for your work on the wrapper!
Specs:
EP45-UD3R with your BIOS v0.8
Intel Q8400
4GB RAM
NVIDIA 8800GTS 320MB
Just to add to the my last message:
I also often get a static screen (looks like a snow storm eg. when not having a channel tuned in at all on old TV’s) when starting / quitting / changing resolution in the game.
Has anybody experienced anything similar?
Thanks!
hi,There is no way to start AC in other languages?
Yes there is! please check the thread at theportingteam.com forums!
what Nalydtje has i have to
Assure that you inserted your game windows installation files inside the pre-patched folder without replacing the EXE, feel free to report back.
I can’t seem to get the v 7 wrapper to open up. the app flashes for two seconds then disappears again without opening. what do i do??
Hi,
The wrapper works fine, the only thing that doesn’t work are the dialogs, I can’t hear them. Tried all possible settings in the midi-setup, still doesn’t work
@Hiz and @Carl
Sorry for the delay on answering:
can you both netter specify your system?
@Hiz, you must copy all the contents from your working v0.6 copy to the new one, in the exactly same path, leaving the used patch (exe)
Could you add a link back to the porting team in your main post? They work hard on making these wrappers, or as you called them: “bubbles” and without them these “bubbles” wouldn’t exist.
Thank you.
I did on a comment, but will also do on the main post, i did think that just quoting that we did it there (me, locoputo, draculix, etc, it started at InsanelyMac by locoputo idea) was enough, but you are right not everybody gets there how it is informed here, will add. Thank you for the suggestion!
PS: done. I just let the blog as a feedback primary source as I get instantly notified of replies without having to login to a forum, etc. Just to clarify, there were some more projects here and originally this blog was created to unify the feedback of them
. I still handle going on to The PT, as to I.M. threads, but people will contact me faster here 
Hi Catri
I just downloaded v7 of the skin… And I am reading the change log. I see there that you say the skin does not support GMA graphics!!! My machine is a 2009 iMac 27″ 3.06 GHz with 6 Gb RAM, running 10.6.7. I have played AC on this before when I had a bootcamp partition. And as you may notice from my previous postings, it ran beautifully on the Windows partition with no issues about the graphics chip. But when I ran it on the Mac partition, though it runs very well in general terms, I get no floors and walls… which makes the game of course impossible to play!
But reading the change log I am wondering if I should install it again or not? Has the issue with the walls and floors been corrected? Or is this simply a problem with the GMA?
Thanks for your great work and effort.
Try 0.7 vs 0.6b, it will get slower then 0.6b but was fine tuned to ati problems, besides having a pretty newer wineserver. I wonder Ubisoft could take the care of porting this game in a special series edition some day…
For GMA there was no concern of this type, only feedback i got is that it was too slow. Note that emulating windows environment already consumes any system, graphical implementations of wine are still new and buggy. Your feedback is welcome, modify also your postfx and etc graphics settings, it helped in some atis
Thanks Catri
I just tested it, at pretty high settings, res. 800×600, (it kind of plays in a window and not full screen, sort of like a letter box!) but it plays and looks fine, the buildings and wall are back too. It played a lot better on my old bootcamp partition, under Windows 7… but that is only to be expected. I am going to try it at 1280×760 (or nearest available and see how I go). At my present settings though it looks good and runs pretty well, a little jerky and sometimes it stops for a nano-second and then carries on. But it is an improvement graphically over 6b on my set up.
Just for your reference my machine specs are:

I already bought AC II Deluxe edition for Mac which plays beautifully at the highest settings. I am looking forward to getting Brotherhood too soon. And I totally agree with you, I think Ubisoft should port the original AC to Mac as well. It’s really strange they haven’t since they seem to be continuing with their Mac releases!!!!
Anyway thanks again and I shall report any new findings in terms of performance here.
Cheers again for the great job! and well done
You may pass from fullscreen to windowed with some command, try CMD+Enter, or CMD+F or CMD+M – sorry I just forgot, its just in time to give a new look at this, months and months after last release. Thanks for your feedback, I also bought AC2 and ACB for mac (from a normal online store, not mac app store, i don’t agree with that) and would be fine having a unified launcher to uplay and etc, i guess that maybe they can do that in “commemoration” when they release the one AC3 (after the one in Constantinople that is to come).
I did stop college now but, before the game, I was going to make my monograph over the subject of Alamut, the Hassishins and the “Free Spirit Brotherhood” (a smaller milenarist and far more occidental group but with many similar organizations to the Asssassins/Hashishins under the Holy German-Roman Empire, in fact banished together with the templars in the same 1311′s document.
I loved the 1st game in special because is the one more linked to History, they reconstructed Massyaf very well, and to have a free walk on the crusades as an assassin for someone who had chosen a so different theme to monograph serves me as a catharsis of the non-done college work, hehe.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hello Cartri, thanks for this awesome wrapper. the game worked pretty well, but i expect to have the game played in its highest graphic settings, but it kinda slow when i tried to put it on its highest settings. is there any special config to solve this or is it my macbook spec which prevents me to play in its highest graphic setting?
this is my macbook pro 15 inch specs:
-intel core i7 2.2ghz
-amd radeon hd 6750m
-ram 4gb, vram 1gb total
can i run this game in 1440×900, with highest graphic settings on my macbook pro?
sorry for my english, and thank you
6750m has 576gflops of speed, any 400/500+ gflops should run the game at max with this resolution in fullscreen.
Maybe it is some specific rendering that is causing you truble: try disabling postfx in the game, use also VBO in your ˜/Library/Preferences A.C. folder, that should help with the ATI
thank you for your reply, but im really sorry that i have to ask again, what is VBO? i have searched inside the path you gave me but it seems there’s nothing called VBO in that folder. sorry im a beginner on something like this :p
sorry for the misspelling!
its FBO, add VideoScreenRenderingMode = FBO to the config file in your preferences
how do i do it? or it is just open the config file, then write videosreenrenderingmode = fbo anywhere i wanted to? and do i have to put ” for the sentences?
thankyou. by the way, i just realised i experienced the invisible wall and floors to, how do i fix it? sorry for disturbing you 
sorry for being such disturbance, but im getting ached to play this game the way i wanted it. could you please give me the detailed instruction on how i add the “videoscreenrenderingmode = fbo” on the config file? and how do i fix this invisible floors and walls? thank you very much for your fast response, i really appreciate it
Ryan, just use v0.6b, it has a font bug with keys but bessides this minnor issue, is really faster and has the ground bug in ATIs fixed (sorry the delay to answer)
it’s alright. it is just getting pretty annoying when you have a game but you couldn’t play it the way you wanted it, dont you think? :p apart from it, i’m alright. downloading the v0.6b, i’ll give you feedback as soon as i have tried the game
Thanks for feed-backing, status on mbp2011 is unknown, but most atis are fixed with 0.6b
fala ae compatriota!!
hi
im using the assassins creed wrapper version 0.7, everything is running smooth on max settings with a resolution of 1600×900, but a have a problem, after 47 minutes playing, the game FREEZES, for aprox 40 seconds then everything come back to normal for more 40 seconds then, freezes again, this happens 5 times until all cycle start over again. i don’t know why this is happening. please help me, this is my specs:
-Imac 21,5 (2011)
-intel i5 2,5 ghz
-amd radeon hd 6750m (512mb)
-4 GB of ram
thanks for the wrapper! (member of porting team: guardDog)
vida longa ao PORTING TEAM !!!!
Hi!
Very weird problem, just would like to propose the use of 0.6b, I’m remaking some memories (now that I full synched AC2 and ACB officially for mac) and the difference in gpu speed is notable (ATI 5770 desktop 2560×1440).
Já que te posso responder em português: Testa a versão 0.6b que ela não mexe nas suas configurações da outra versão (você pode ter ambas), exceto pelo bug de não aparecerem o nome das teclas e tal.
long live Porting Team!!!!
thanks for the reply, i will test the version 6
this wrapper will work on mac lion?
valeu pela resposta
long live Porting Team!!!!
Pode usar a 6b com o lion sim, aqui estou usando lion numa 5770 1GB num HackPro5,1 e tudo ok com o jogo num apple cinema display 27″ em resolução máxima (o bichinho sua, mas aguenta silenciosamente)
—
Sure, you can use Lion, all wrappers from 0.6b and on should work with it.
can you give more directions as to wherec\program files\ubisoft\Assassins Creed\*.* is? Im stumped right now, (im a lil new to this). does c stand for something? please reply ASAP.
Hello Ian,
Right click your Wrapper “app”.
Click “show package contents”
Then go to Contents, Resources, Transgaming, drive_c, Ubisoft.
Inside this folder, insert your original game data, except for the dx9 .exe, the existent one is needed to make the game run under Mac OS X.
Please also read the RTF for further explanations.
You don’t have to mess with Program Files folder, only Ubisoft one.
thank you that helps a lot. but now ive come across another problem, whenever i play the wrapper i cant seem to use the mouse. any suggestions?
The game opens, right?
Can you specify your system, including mice and gpu?
yes the game opens but then the mouse stys at the top left corner of the screen no matter how much i move it. its an apple magic mouse. im using a mac pro, processor is quad core intel xeon. 2.26×2 GHz. 8 gigs of ram. and 1024 mgs of vram.
Is you mouse USB? Are you running Lion GM? Is your GPU the original 7300GT from MP1,1?
Id try both wrappers, but a 7300 will not handle this game on wrapper, maybe at very low res… yet you can try.
If you have a usb mouse, unplug and replug it directly to the machine usb (not the keyboard hub) after the game started, also be sure to try both current wrappers (0.7 & 0.6b, I personally use 0.6b, its quite better, besides the font bug. I don’t think the bug fix from 0.7 values the loss of speed and compatibility…
no the mouse is wireless. no im running snow leopard. im not sure about the 7300GT thing. but sure ill try 0.6, even though it doesnt fix the font. my graphics card is an ati so i though it would be okay, but ill try 0.6 any way. thank you for the help.
btw please come out with another update soon so i can have fixed font. it would be much appreciated.
0.7 already is “that” update, but you can notice a framerate cost even in high end latest video cards. Notice that if nvidia you would need a 9 or GTX series cards to play this game well, if ati at least 4870+ cards.
I’d suggest you to use the great contribution of the Hackintosh Community and buy a card with a updatable bios with Zeus – it will have a pc price card and will put your old pro up to date with the latest cards and graphics. Please research before doing so, and – in respect to the creators of these techs – avoid “buy”ing them ready. They have been done nice to use. More at http://netkas.org and http://groths.org
i think ill just wait until i get windows on here. thanks for the suggestion though.

hello again cartri,
my problem was solved, i just disconnect my internet(airport) and play,then everything works with no problem, it looks like the game was trying to connect to the Ubisoft sever after every kill and flags collected, but now its ok. THANKS for the WRAPPER and the help!!
valeu!!!
Hi.
First, thanks for making this game possible on Mac without this shitty windows.
I’ve just downloaded it, Menu was very laggy, i put settings to minimum and it started to be very fluid and works very well.
But i have one problem, when I want to start a new game, mouse cannot move anymore, and the game just crash, I have to reboot my computer.
I have an iMac 2ghz, 3g ram, ATY Radeon 1600, Mac OS 10.6.3
Is there anyway i could make this works ?
Thanks !
a 1600 is too low for the game experience.
As said before you could try 0.6b, but AMDs should start with HD4xxx series and superior. It can run on older cards, but bugs are expected…
Olá tudo bom?
Tem como usar joystick? Tenho um genérico de PS3 que funciona no port do PES. Mas não to conseguindo rodar no AC.
Obrigado
Atualmente você precisa installar e configurar o ControllerMate para usar Joystick
Hi cartri,
a big THANK YOU to you – on first attempt (v 0.7) it’s worked. Works like a dream. Hardly and glitches – an odd pause and audio skip but i can’t believe it. I played it through bootcamp (XP) on my old 2.4GHz MBP and was GUTTED when i upgraded only to realize that Apple had dropped support for XP. You have brought this brilliant game back into my life.
Thank you.
