- Microsoft’s Windows 11 24H2 updates continue to affect several games on PC, in particular assassin’s creed securities.
- Ubisoft has been forced to fix Origins and Valhalla due to negative comments from fans
- Odyssey remains unpatched and multiple crashes occur
Microsoft’s Windows 11 24H2 update issues are no secret at the moment and are affecting PC users across the board, and gamers continue to suffer, with Ubisoft. Assassin’s Creed Origins and Valhalla We are only now receiving compatibility fixes.
As discussed in my article on using the Asus ROG Ally with Bazzite installed, Windows 11 24H2 has been a nightmare for gamers. In the case of Ubisoft titles, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Valhallaand Origins They have all faced compatibility issues with constant crashes that leave them almost unplayable. Although Ubisoft has released a patch for Origins and Valhalla, Odyssey It hasn’t been solved yet.
As reported by IGN, fans of the franchise have expressed their frustrations by sharing negative reviews of Ubisoft games on Steam to force the developer to act, and while it may seem to some people that Ubisoft is to blame (especially with the bias of recent controversies around Assassin’s Creed Shadows), this is not the case since it is Microsoft’s fault.
In addition to games crashing, using Windows 11 has become, for some people, very frustrating with random errors leaving audio dead and the desktop unresponsive; It’s going from bad to worse for Microsoft, and it certainly won’t fulfill the company’s desire for more. It’s good that people are switching to Windows 11 the longer it lasts.
Don’t point the finger at Ubisoft this time, it’s Microsoft you should be frustrated with
I’ve always been a harsh critic when it comes to game developers and bad optimization. Still, it looks like Microsoft is responsible this time: Windows 11 24H2 has caused quite a few PC users problems and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. While Ubisoft might have released a patch a little sooner, the same could be said for other games that have been affected like Path of exile 2.
Fortunately, Valve is bringing SteamOS to multiple portable gaming PCs (not just its own Steam Deck), but it’s not exactly clear whether we’ll be able to install the gaming-focused Linux-based operating system on desktop PCs (which will be a pleasant surprise ), but Bazzite is now available. Since dual booting (where you choose between operating systems when your PC boots) is possible, it’s a great way to access games that can’t be played on SteamOS like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and other games that use anti-cheat systems.
There’s no telling when we’ll finally be free of Windows 11 24H2 issues, and for many gamers, waiting for Microsoft to fix its latest update (or for developers to individually release patches for their games) will be a frustrating experience. Installing an alternative operating system that is less prone to problems and better optimized for gaming will start to look increasingly attractive to those gamers, and that’s something that should worry Microsoft.
