Microsoft has hit the brakes on pushing Windows updates to computers with certain Ubisoft games like Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla installed.
The Windows 11 24H2 update, which began rolling out last month, is causing headaches for gamers. Folks playing Ubisoft titles are experiencing crashes and other issues after the update. Microsoft is aware of the problem and has paused automatic updates on affected systems, advising gamers not to update manually until a solution is found. Meanwhile, the list of games that might run into trouble due to this update includes Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Ubisoft is trying to patch things up, releasing a new update for Star Wars Outlaws. This update offers a temporary workaround for those who already have 24H2, but it might not be perfect, as performance issues could still pop up until a proper fix is ready. Sometimes, we just want to play our games without any hiccups.
If you haven’t updated to 24H2 yet, it’s probably best to hold off for now, especially since Microsoft is making sure no one accidentally updates. But if you’ve already updated and are having trouble, you might need to go back to an earlier Windows version by reinstalling it, as a fix from Microsoft or Ubisoft isn’t on the horizon just yet.
