A recent update to Windows 11 has caused significant issues for Ubisoft game players, rendering several titles unplayable, including the much-anticipated Star Wars Outlaws. Microsoft has confirmed that after installing the Windows 11 version 24H2, players may face problems such as unresponsiveness during gameplay and black screens. Games affected include Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Microsoft has issued a compatibility hold to prevent automatic updates for devices with these titles. In response, Ubisoft has provided a temporary hotfix, advising users to expect potential performance issues while a permanent solution is being developed.

What should I do if my Ubisoft games are unplayable after the Windows 11 update?

If your Ubisoft games are unplayable following the Windows 11 update, it's best to avoid upgrading to version 24H2 for the time being. If you've already updated, consider applying Ubisoft's temporary hotfix while they work on a permanent fix. Keep an eye out for further updates from both Microsoft and Ubisoft regarding the issue.
