Ubisoft have admitted that there are issues associated with the recently released PC version of Assassin's Creed, adding that a patch aimed at fixing the problems is on the way.

DirectX 10 support will be cut temporarily as Ubi investigate the problems, which have seen players' hard-disks filling up with rogue cache files by the gigabyte.

Ubi hope to reintroduce DX10 support once the issues are resolved.

"The first bit of news I have is that we're planning to release a patch for the PC version of Assassin's Creed that addresses the majority of issues reported by fans," a spokesperson told the official forums.

"In addition to addressing reported glitches, the patch will remove support for DX10.1, since we need to rework its implementation. The performance gains seen by players who are currently playing Assassin's Creed with a DX10.1 graphics card are in large part due to the fact that our implementation removes a render pass during post-effect which is costly."
