Ever wanted to replay a mission in Assassin’s Creed, but without replaying the whole game again? That is exactly where ACPR will help you.
All you have to do is playing until you can start the mission and then run ACPR. It will then clone your savegame and create a backup. Then there will be a new profile in Assassin’s Creed from which the mission can be started. After completing the mission, ACPR can restore the profile from the backup so that you can play the mission again.
Additionally you can rename your profile in Assassin’s Creed (that is where ACPR actually got its name from). Unlike when you create a new profile in Assassin’s Creed ACPR will allow you to
- Enter a Profile Name with a length of 25 characters (instead of only 20)
- Insert insert some ingame symbols like the sword, hidden blade, and eagle vision.

Video
I've created a short video showing the process of skipping repetitive parts. Make sure to read the description too. Note that the video shows ACPR 1.2 where the savegames had to be copied manually; This is not necessary any longer since version 1.3.
