After facing no small amount of criticism due to some of its games being negatively affected by Windows 11’s 24H2 update, Ubisoft has finally released updates for Assassin’s Creed Origins and Valhalla to fix the issue.
The update, clocking in at around 230 MB, pushes Assassin’s Creed Origins up to version 1.62, while the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update weighs in at around 500 MB, and pushes the game up to version 1.7.0. They don’t add anything aside from fixing compatibility issues for the games with Windows 11 24H2.
Both titles have been facing complaints from PC players because of these compatibility issues, with players taking to Steam’s reviews section to post negative reviews. This led to review bombing, with the aggregate rating for Assassin’s Creed Origins dropping from “Very Positive” to “Mixed” as a result.
Interestingly, other Ubisoft titles affected by these issues, which include Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws, haven’t yet gotten similar updates to fix these issues. The publisher has yet to provide an ETA on the same.
Originally rolling out for Windows 11 back in November, the 24H2 update generally offered a performance upgrade for most games, depending on the user’s hardware. However, it also caused issues in some Ubisoft titles like crashes and severe performance drops.
