Assassin\'s Creed Windows 11 Issues Have Been Fixed

Summary

• Recent Windows 11 updates caused launch issues for several Assassin's Creed games.
• Patches for Assassin's Creed Origins and Valhalla have been released, resolving the problem for those titles. Assassin's Creed Odyssey may still experience issues.

Gamers experiencing problems with Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla following a Windows 11 update can rejoice! Ubisoft has released patches addressing the compatibility issues introduced by the Windows 11 24H2 update. This update, while bringing features like Wi-Fi 7 support and AI Copilot+, unfortunately caused some games, including these Assassin's Creed titles, to malfunction.

These patches are available automatically through Steam. Before installing, ensure you have sufficient storage space: the Origins patch requires 230 MB, while the Valhalla patch needs 500 MB.

Windows Update 24H2 Still Affecting Some Ubisoft Games

While the patches for Origins and Valhalla are welcome news, not all Ubisoft games have been fixed. Reports persist of ongoing problems with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which may fail to launch or become unresponsive. Although previous hotfixes addressed significant issues in Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, some performance problems may remain. Players anticipating the Windows update may wish to delay upgrading until a fix for Odyssey is available.

This issue highlights a concerning oversight. Reports of game incompatibility surfaced five months prior to the official Windows 11 24H2 rollout, yet the problem wasn't fully addressed before release. This is especially problematic given Microsoft's push for Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. Fortunately, the majority of games appear unaffected.
