Ubisoft's recent updates bring good news for Assassin's Creed fans! A long-standing compatibility issue between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update has finally been resolved. This issue, affecting games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Valhalla (among others), prevented proper functionality since Fall 2024.
New patches addressing this problem have been released and announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla. Player comments express relief and gratitude, acknowledging that the problem originated with Windows, not Ubisoft's development. While the recent Steam reviews for these titles remain "Mixed," this fix represents a significant positive step.
There's optimism that Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed until March 20th to allow for quality improvements, will avoid similar compatibility issues. The game's launch is considered crucial for Ubisoft's future. While upper management continues to navigate challenges, this successful patch offers a glimmer of hope amidst ongoing difficulties.
