Microsoft has halted updates to Windows 11 version 24H2 on computers that have specific Ubisoft games installed due to crashing issues. The update has been causing problems with games such as “Star Wars Outlaws” and titles in the “Assassin’s Creed” series. The issue was highlighted when users reported crashes and unresponsive behavior during game startup, loading, and gameplay after installing the update.
Some users also encountered black screens.
Microsoft addresses Ubisoft game crashes
The affected games include:
– Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
– Assassin’s Creed Origins
– Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
– Star Wars Outlaws
– Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Microsoft confirmed the implementation of a “compatibility hold” and is collaborating with Ubisoft to address the problem.
While they aim to find a permanent solution, Microsoft advises against manually installing the Windows 11 24H2 update. Ubisoft has released a temporary hotfix to mitigate crashing issues specifically in “Star Wars Outlaws,” but performance issues may still persist for some users. The situation is being monitored closely, with further updates expected as the companies work towards a resolution.
