Assassin’s Creed players have been experiencing issues with a few of the Assassin’s Creed titles on Windows 11 in recent days. The issue reportedly now has been fixed after Ubisoft released patches for both Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The games started experiencing bootup issues and abnormal performance after Windows 11 received its latest 24H2 update.
Windows 11 24H2 Update & Ubisoft Fix
A recent update for Windows 11, 24H2 introduced a number of improved features for the OS and new additions for better optimization. The update officially rolled out on October 1, 2024, and introduced Wi-Fi 7 support, AI Copilot+, and improved Windows energy-saving modes. However, the update led to the malfunctioning of many Ubisoft titles which led to gamers being frustrated and unable to play their beloved titles.
