Ubisoft Resolves Windows 11 24H2 Issues for Two Games, Assassin's Creed Titles Still Affected

Hotfixes have been released for Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but Assassin's Creed games remain incompatible with the latest Windows update.

• Microsoft initially blocked the Windows 11 24H2 update on PCs with several Ubisoft games due to crashes, freezes, and audio issues reported by users.
• Ubisoft has released hotfixes for Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, allowing the update to proceed for users of these games, though minor performance issues may persist.
• Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Origins, and Odyssey remain incompatible with the update, and Microsoft advises against manually forcing the installation on affected systems.
• The issues appear to stem from differences in how Ubisoft's Anvil engine (used in Assassin's Creed) and Snowdrop engine (used in Avatar and Outlaws) interact with Windows 11 24H2.
• Microsoft continues to apply compatibility holds for other software, including outdated Google Workspace Sync installations and certain Intel audio drivers, to prevent system errors.
