Microsoft and Ubisoft are actively collaborating to address crashing issues reported by players on Windows 11, specifically affecting games such as Star Wars Outlaws and various titles from the Assassin’s Creed series.
Recent reports from TweakTown indicate that several Ubisoft games have encountered critical errors while running on Windows 11 version 24H2. This issue gained attention following the release of update 1.4.0 for Star Wars Outlaws across all platforms. Among the user community, players have continued to report problems tied to Windows 11, with games crashing unexpectedly during play. Common symptoms include black screens and unresponsive gameplay, often requiring users to resort to the Task Manager to exit the games. Titles affected by these issues include Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws.
In response to the situation, Microsoft has implemented a temporary measure to prevent users from updating to Windows 11 version 24H2 on systems that have these games installed. Additionally, the company is advising users against manually updating their systems using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or Media Creation Tools until the issues with Ubisoft games have been fully resolved.
While Ubisoft has offered temporary solutions for Star Wars Outlaws, some performance concerns persist. These ongoing bugs underscore the challenges Windows 11 faces in providing reliable game support, particularly in the immediate aftermath of major updates. As of now, there has been no confirmation on the timeline for comprehensive patches from either Microsoft or Ubisoft, leaving many questions unanswered for both the player and developer communities.
