Very recently, you may have carried out the 24/2 update of your computer, powered by Windows 11. An update obviously put online by the giant Microsoft, which allows you to benefit from the latest optimizations and other security parameters of the famous operating system. Enough to calmly restart your game of Star Wars Outlaws just launched on Steam or Assassin's Creed Valhalla. However, the latest Windows update is causing serious problems among gamers, in particular among fans of the French publisher Ubisoft.
A fatal Windows update… to recent Ubisoft games!
Fatality, bad luck, misfortune, evil eye, bad luck or even scoumoune, we call it what we want, but the French giant Ubisoft has never stopped accumulating problems in recent months. While players have been particularly suspicious of Ubisoft games for several years, the fault of titles often launched too hastily (and therefore full of bugs), the publisher is today at the heart (despite itself) of a new controversy.
On the Microsoft side, we officially announced: “After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you may experience issues with some Ubisoft games“. Among the affected games, which may crash during the game or refuse to launch, we find Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
For its part, Ubisoft has implemented a temporary solution for Star Wars Outlaws to prevent the game from failing and becoming unresponsive, but Microsoft believes that it is still possible for players to still experience performance issues . “To preserve your Windows Update experience, we have enforced a compatibility hold on devices where these games are installed” indicates Microsoft, which has therefore decided to suspend the Windows update.
For Ubisoft, this is yet another hard blow this year, the French publisher having already had to deal with the commercial failure of Star Wars Outlaws, without forgetting a postponement of the highly anticipated (and already much criticized) Assassin's Creed Shadows, to to which we must add a resounding strike movement a few months ago. This week, the game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (launched at the end of last year) is due to welcome a new DLC, which has been slightly delayed after the development team recently discovered a “critical concern“. Definitely…
It's difficult to know why Microsoft's latest Windows 24H2 update is putting various Ubisoft games in difficulty, some of which were launched very recently. At this time, the problems persist, and players are strongly advised not to update Windows 11.
