Assassin\'s Creed Windows 11 Issues Have Been Fixed

Recent Windows 11 Update Disrupts Assassin's Creed Gameplay; Patches Released

A recent Windows 11 update (24H2) introduced compatibility issues for several Assassin's Creed titles. Fortunately, Ubisoft has addressed the problem with patches for Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. These updates, available via Steam, resolve launch and functionality problems experienced by players after installing the Windows update. Note that the Origins patch requires 230 MB of free space, while the Valhalla patch needs 500 MB.

However, some Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey, remain affected. While previous patches mitigated issues for titles like Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, performance problems may persist. Players experiencing difficulties with Odyssey are advised to postpone updating to Windows 11 24H2 until a dedicated patch is released.

The root cause of the incompatibility remains unclear. While the patches provide relief for Origins and Valhalla, the fact that the issue wasn't resolved before the official rollout of Windows 11 24H2 is concerning, especially given Microsoft's push for Windows 10 users to upgrade. The vast majority of games appear unaffected, but this incident highlights potential compatibility risks associated with major operating system updates.
