Microsoft's Windows 11 Update Wreaks Havoc on Ubisoft Games

Microsoft has confirmed that the recent Windows 11 version 24H2 update is causing compatibility issues with several Ubisoft games, including popular titles like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Star Wars Outlaws. Users may experience game crashes, black screens, or unresponsiveness when attempting to start or play these games. In light of this, Microsoft has temporarily blocked the version 24H2 update for systems with these Ubisoft games installed to avoid further disruptions. Ubisoft has addressed some of these issues in their Title Update 1.4 for Star Wars Outlaws, but players are still advised to postpone the Windows update until a permanent fix is provided.

If you play Ubisoft games on Windows 11, it is advisable to refrain from updating to version 24H2 until Microsoft resolves the compatibility issues. Stay informed by checking for updates from both Microsoft and Ubisoft for any fixes or additional actions you may need to take.

The Assassin's Creed series, developed by Ubisoft, is known for its historical settings and engaging narratives. Assassin's Creed Valhalla features players taking on the role of Eivor, a Viking raider, while Star Wars Outlaws invites gamers into the expansive Star Wars universe offering thrilling gameplay experiences. These titles have generated significant attention and user engagement, emphasizing the urgency of resolving the compatibility issues brought on by the Windows update.
