Previously borked Ubisoft games are now fixed on Windows 11 24H2 as the troubled update begins automatically downloading to compatible PCs

20.01.2025 - 13:35 pcgamer.com

If you were mid-campaign in one of several Ubisoft titles affected by the Windows 11 24H2 update, before being rudely interrupted, I have some good news for you: Microsoft says the crashing problems are resolved—seemingly due to a plethora of hotfixes deployed by Ubisoft.

Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Origins and Valhalla are said to be fixed, after Microsoft previously prevented the update from being applied on machines with those particular games installed.

The Windows 11 24H2 known issue page has been updated to reflect the resolved status as of 17 January. According to MS: «Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are no longer affected by this issue due to temporary hotfixes deployed by Ubisoft.

While these fixes mitigate the crashes, players might still experience some performance issues. »Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla are no longer affected by this issue due to fixes deployed by Ubisoft.

These updates have resolved the compatibility issues with Windows 11, version 24H2, ensuring that players can now enjoy these games without previous disruptions. «The safeguard hold (ID 54437462) that was previously in place has been lifted as of 1/16/2025 to exclude these games.» Just as well really, as the Windows 11 24H2 rollout appears to have shifted up a gear.

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Early Access Review

I have now spent 100+ hours with Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen early access and can confirm from my initial impression that Visionary Realms has succeeded in recreating the feel of classic MMOs like the original EverQuest at release in a base form. Interacting with the community has been enjoyable most of the time, while the basic gameplay loop feels great as someone looking to have a classic MMORPG experience, and the slow character advancement feels rewarding. Make sure to check out my Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Review-in-Progress for more details in these areas.

BOYA Mini Wireless Microphone Review

Marketed as the world’s tiniest wireless microphone, the BOYA Mini looks to be a cost-effective solution for content creators. Indeed it does boast some important features such as noise reduction and battery life but what it sacrifices to achieve its namesake might be a turn-off for some people. While it should appeal to a certain kind of content creator one does wonder if the cost for its title is worth the price.

Genshin Impact Developer HoYoverse Required to Disclose Gacha Banner Odds In US FTC Settlement Accusing Developers of Exploiting Players - Updated

It’s an open secret that modern gacha games are exploitative, but for the first time, we’re seeing the American government push back against one of the biggest proponents. A newly published settlement between the FTC and HoYoverse, developer of Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero among others, targets HoYoverse’s unchecked permissions for children to play and exploitative microcurrency systems—but its gacha requirements might be literally game-changing.
