So, it looks like Microsoft just dropped a bombshell with its Windows 11 version 24H2 update, causing severe chaos for players of certain Ubisoft games. Can we talk about the frustration here? Imagine getting hyped to jump back into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, only to face a black screen. Ugh!
Microsoft has finally acknowledged that this latest major update is leaving some players high and dry, especially those who jumped on the Preview access train early this summer. It’s like they pushed the button without checking if everything was ready. Classic move, right?
The support message from Microsoft reads: “After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might encounter issues with some Ubisoft games.” And they aren’t kidding! Players have reported games becoming unresponsive while starting or even during gameplay. Like seriously? This is a bummer for fans eager to dive into their favorite titles.
So, which games are caught up in this mess?
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Assassin’s Creed Origins
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
- Star Wars Outlaws
Microsoft is installing a “compatibility hold” on PCs with these titles to prevent further headaches. That means if you’ve got one of these babies locked and loaded on your system, don’t worry; you won’t get hit by the update just yet. Thank goodness for small favors!
If you’ve already updated and feel like you took an arrow to the knee (BAM!), fear not! Ubisoft has rolled out a temporary fix for “Star Wars Outlaws.” But let me be clear, it’s not exactly perfect. They say performance might still be shaky until they sort out something more permanent.
Ubisoft stated, “We have just deployed a temporary hotfix (v1.4.1) for players who were experiencing issues playing on Windows 11 24H2.” But hey, at least they’re working on it while we all try not to lose our minds!
This situation highlights how crucial communication is between developers and players because nothing stings more than anticipating epic game time only to run into glitches galore due to external updates. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that both companies can resolve these issues soon so we can all return to conquering realms without interruptions.
