Assassin's Creed [BLUS30089]

RPCS3 v0.0.13-11371-7a015b6f Alpha | HEAD | FW 4.87 | Windows 10 2004

There's a secret step you have to do to actually get this to launch successfully.  You need to go into your dumped game directory, PS3_GAME\USRDIR, and create a folder called ASSASSIN_ISO.  I'm not sure if it's a Bug in the emulator (not allowing the game to create a folder it needs?) or in the dumping process.  Ideally, this would get fixed so that special knowledge isn't required.  https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/9397


I'm not sure my i5-9600k, which is overclocked to 4.7ghz, is powerful enough to play this smooth with the current emulator.  It's maxed out at 100%, and the framerate bounces between 60 and 20, usually hovering around 30.


Non-default settings I used to get things happy:
CPU/Preferred SPU Threads 2 - More than 2, and I was getting thread deadlocking.
GPU/Framelimit - Off
Audio/Audio Channels - Surround 7.1 - You'll get weird auto downmixing and pops otherwise.  I have a 7.1 system, and the audio popping and crackling went away when I switched to this.

I'd rate this as playable in it's current state, as the framerate is mostly at 30, and I haven't hit any progress blocking bugs yet.  I plan on playing all the way through, and going for full completion on everything, so if that's a success, I think we're in business.
