PC gaming is always complex due to incompatibilities between various systems, and Ubisoft and Microsoft now have a conflict that has led to the blocking of the latest Windows updates.\r\nThe 24H2 update, in testing for much of 2024 and officially launched last month, appears to have created compatibility issues with several Ubisoft titles.\r\nUsers who have installed the update have encountered difficulties such as crashes at startup and impaired performance. Microsoft has confirmed that it is working to resolve the situation and advises players to avoid manual updates until a permanent fix is available (via Gamespot).\r\nSo, the Windows company has decided to suspend the automatic installation of Windows 11 updates 24H2 on PCs that have some Ubisoft games installed, including:\r\n\r\nAssassin’s Creed Valhalla\r\nAssassin’s Creed Origins\r\nAssassin’s Creed Odyssey\r\nStar Wars Outlaws\r\nAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora\r\n\r\nThe hope is that the problem can be resolved before the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which already has there are other issues to resolve.\r\nThe choice comes after numerous reports of instability and frequent crashes from users, while Ubisoft is looking for temporary solutions to allow Microsoft to publish the update again.\r\nThere is only one workaround for Star Wars Outlaws (you can find it on Amazon) for those who have updated the system, but the developers warn that the solution is not optimized and may continue to present stability problems and performance.\r\nMicrosoft has published a list of potentially affected games on its portal of known issues for 24H2, so as to warn those who have not followed the story completely.\r\nFor once it’s not the consoles, like for Cities Skylines 2 to create problems for developers regarding technical issues.\r\nRecently another very heavy title found itself facing technical issues, but on Steam in this case.
