Assassin's Creed enthusiasts who encountered difficulties launching their games after a recent Windows update will be relieved to hear that solutions have been implemented. Ubisoft has released patches for two affected titles in the franchise, although some other games may still be experiencing issues.
Windows routinely rolls out updates, and the 24H2 update for Windows 11 introduced several enhancements, such as Wi-Fi 7 support, improved energy-saving modes, and AI Copilot+ PC features. However, following the deployment of this update, some gamers reported issues with certain games, including titles from the Assassin's Creed series, failing to start or function properly. The newly released fixes are expected to resolve these problems for two of Ubisoft's games.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla have both been updated to address the issues stemming from the Windows 11 24H2 update. These updates should automatically download through Steam, enabling the games to launch without a hitch. Players need to ensure they have enough storage space; the patch for Origins requires 230 MB, while Valhalla's update takes up 500 MB.
The exact cause within the Windows update that led to the malfunction of certain Ubisoft games remains unclear. While the community appreciates the fixes for Origins and Valhalla, some gamers are still voicing concerns as other titles have yet to receive similar patches. Notably, Assassin's Creed Odyssey continues to suffer from similar issues, becoming unresponsive or failing to function altogether. Ubisoft's previous hotfixes have addressed major problems with games like Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but some minor performance issues may persist. Fans of Assassin's Creed Odyssey might want to delay updating to Windows 11 until a fix is available for their game.
While steps are being taken to rectify the situation, the initial occurrence of these issues was regrettable. Players started reporting problems with various games when the Windows 24H2 update preview was released five months ago, yet the issue wasn't resolved before the official rollout. This is particularly concerning given Microsoft's push for Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible. Fortunately, the majority of games appear unaffected by the update.
