Microsoft reports that some users may face crashes or compatibility problems when playing select games from Ubisoft on Windows 11 24H2. As a temporary workaround, the firm has halted updates to its feature-packed 24H2 version - for devices with these titles installed. While Ubisoft has released a mitigation for this bug, both Microsoft and Ubisoft warn of performance regressions. As of now, there is no expected release date for a potential fix but the developers are actively working to resolve this problem.
The Windows 11 24H2 update has been a mixed bag - offering great performance bumps on one side and resulting in compatibility wrecks like this in addition to a previous incident involving looping BSODs on SSDs from Western Digital on the other. The easiest way to get yourself a copy of the 24H2 version - with all the bells and whistles of AI - is by using the Windows Installation Media. However, Microsoft says you shouldn't, as a handful of Ubisoft games might become unplayable - if you update.
