Microsoft partially lifts the Windows 11 update block after that weird Ubisoft game bug

Ubisoft has recently made strides in addressing compatibility issues with its games on Windows 11, particularly following the rollout of the 24H2 update. Gamers who have been eagerly awaiting smoother gameplay can now breathe a sigh of relief as some titles are now functioning properly after recent fixes.

Among the games benefiting from these updates are Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, both of which have received hotfixes that resolve previous Windows-related issues. Players are encouraged to update their games to enjoy the latest enhancements. As Microsoft notes, these fixes have significantly improved stability, although some performance hiccups may still occur.

“Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are no longer affected by this issue due to temporary hotfixes deployed by Ubisoft. While these fixes mitigate the crashes, players might still experience some performance issues. For more details, see the release notes for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – Title Update 1.2 and Star Wars Outlaws – Title Update 1.4.0.”

However, not all is well in the Ubisoft universe. Titles from the Assassin’s Creed series, including Valhalla, Origins, and Odyssey, remain problematic. Currently, if these games are detected on a user’s system, the installation of the 24H2 update will be blocked. This means that even if players have uninstalled these titles, they must wait a full 48 hours before the update becomes available.

Key Takeaways

  • Some Ubisoft games are now compatible with Windows 11 24H2 after recent fixes.
  • Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have received hotfixes for Windows issues.
  • Assassin’s Creed games are still not fixed, causing Windows 11 24H2 installation delay.

As the gaming community watches closely, the collaboration between Ubisoft and Microsoft continues to evolve, promising a more seamless experience for gamers in the near future.
