Nuked Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to sprinkle some humor on the latest tech news.
So, it looks like Microsoft has hit the pause button on Windows 11 updates for PCs that have certain Ubisoft games installed. According to Bleeping Computer, this halt comes after players reported crashes in popular titles like Star Wars Outlaws and various Assassin’s Creed games following the new update.
In a recent status update, Microsoft confirmed what they’re calling a “compatibility hold.” They’re currently teaming up with Ubisoft to get to the bottom of these pesky issues. Until then, they’re advising users to steer clear of manually installing the Windows 11 24H2 update.
Here’s a little breakdown of what’s going on: after upgrading to Windows 11 version 24H2, players may find themselves facing problems with certain Ubisoft games. These issues can manifest as unresponsiveness while starting up, loading, or even during gameplay. Some players might even be greeted with a dreaded black screen!
The affected titles include:
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Assassin’s Creed Origins
• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Star Wars Outlaws
• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
But don’t despair just yet! Microsoft mentioned that Ubisoft has rolled out a temporary hotfix for the crashing problems in Star Wars Outlaws. However, they also cautioned that players might still encounter some performance hiccups.
So keep your gaming spirits high, and let’s hope for a speedy resolution from our friends at Microsoft and Ubisoft!
