Assassin\'s Creed Windows 11 Issues Have Been Fixed

Summary

• Windows 11 update caused issues with two Assassin's Creed games.
• Fixes issued for AC Origins & Valhalla, but Odyssey may still have problems.

Assassin's Creed enthusiasts who encountered difficulties launching their games after a recent Windows update can now breathe a sigh of relief. Ubisoft has rolled out patches for two of its popular titles, Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, to resolve the issues triggered by the Windows 11 24H2 update. These updates should automatically download through Steam, ensuring that players can once again dive into their adventures without a hitch. However, it's important to note that these patches require additional storage space—230 MB for Origins and 500 MB for Valhalla.

The Windows 11 24H2 update brought several enhancements, including support for Wi-Fi 7, improved energy-saving modes, and AI Copilot+ PC features. Yet, it also introduced unexpected problems for some gamers, particularly those playing Ubisoft titles. While the fixes for Origins and Valhalla are welcome, not all Ubisoft games have been addressed. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, for instance, continues to face challenges, with reports of the game either becoming unresponsive or failing to launch altogether.

Ubisoft has made strides in resolving issues with other titles like Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but some performance hiccups may still linger. Fans of Assassin's Creed Odyssey might want to delay updating to Windows 11 24H2 until a specific fix is available for their game.

The timing of these issues is particularly frustrating, as players had already reported problems during the preview phase of the Windows 24H2 update, which was released five months earlier. Despite these early warnings, the issues persisted into the official rollout. This situation is especially concerning given Microsoft's push for Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. Fortunately, the majority of games have not been significantly affected by the update, but the incident underscores the importance of thorough testing before major updates are released to the public.
