Assassin’s Creed Origins Faces Ongoing Issues After Windows 11 Update
A recent update to Windows 11 (version 24H2) has caused compatibility issues for several Ubisoft games, leaving players frustrated. While some titles like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and star Wars Outlaws saw rapid fixes, others in the Assassin’s Creed franchise continue to struggle. Assassin’s Creed Origins, set in ancient egypt, seems to be especially affected.
A surge in negative reviews on platforms like Steam highlights the severity of the problem. Origins currently holds a “recent” review score of just 65% on Steam, with many players reporting crashes, freezes, and complete inability to play the game since the update.
the root cause of these issues remains unclear, and Ubisoft has yet to provide a definitive description or timeline for a solution.

What’s yoru take on this disparity in performance and the severity of the issue facing Origins players?

It’s definitely a frustrating situation for Origins fans. While Ubisoft was quick to address issues in other titles, Origins seems to be lagging behind. The sheer volume of negative reviews on Steam, pointing to crashes and gameplay disruption, indicates something significant is amiss.
**Archyde Gaming Editor:**
Ubisoft hasn’t explicitly addressed the root cause of these problems. Has the community theorized on what might be going on?

Ther’s speculation about conflicting drivers, compatibility issues with specific hardware configurations, or even potential bugs introduced with the 24H2 update itself. Without official confirmation from Ubisoft, it’s all conjecture at this point.

It’s understandable that players are worried. The lack of transparency from Ubisoft is adding fuel to the fire.

**Archyde Gaming Editor:** Welcome back to Archyde Gaming Insights! Today, we’re diving into a thorny issue affecting many PC gamers: the ongoing compatibility problems with Assassin’s creed Origins following the Windows 11 24H2 update.
Joining me to discuss this is [Alex Reed Name], a prominent figure in the gaming community known for their expertise on PC gaming and Ubisoft titles. welcome, [Alex Reed Name].

**Archyde Gaming Editor:** Let’s get right to it. As we certainly know, ubisoft titles have a bit of a reputation for technical hiccups on PC. However, this situation with Assassin’s Creed Origins seems particularly dire. We’re seeing a ton of negative reviews flooding platforms like Steam, with players reporting crashes, freezes, and the game becoming unplayable after the windows update. What’s your take on this situation?
**[Alex Reed Name]:** It’s definitely frustrating for players,and it’s understandable why there’s so much anger. Assassin’s Creed origins is a beloved game, and it’s disheartening to see it crippled by these compatibility issues. While Ubisoft has addressed similar problems with other titles affected by the update, the silence around Origins is especially concerning.
**Archyde Gaming Editor:** It’s true that Ubisoft has been relatively quite about the specific issues plaguing Origins. Do you have any insight into what might be causing these problems?
**[Alex Reed Name]:**
It’s hard to say for sure without official word from Ubisoft. There could be a number of factors at play: a conflict with specific drivers introduced in the Windows 11 update,issues with the game’s DRM or anti-cheat system,or even legacy code within Origins that’s struggling to adapt to the new operating system.
**Archyde Gaming Editor:** That’s a good point about legacy code. Origins isn’t exactly a spring chicken. It was released back in 2017. Do you think this age might be a contributing factor to the severity of the problem?
**[Alex Reed Name]:** Absolutely. Older games frequently enough rely on older technologies and APIs that might not be fully compatible with newer operating systems. It’s a balancing act for developers, trying to maintain backwards compatibility while also keeping up with the latest advancements.
**Archyde gaming Editor:** And what about the impact on players? We’re seeing some passionately dedicated fans of the franchise voicing their frustration. how do you think Ubisoft should be handling this situation?
**[Alex Reed Name]:**
Transparency is key. Ubisoft needs to acknowledge the problem publicly and keep players informed about their progress towards a solution. Offering a temporary workaround or even a rollback option could also help alleviate the immediate frustration while they work on a permanent fix.
**Archyde Gaming Editor:**
Do you have any advice for players who are currently facing these issues with Origins?
**[Alex Reed name]:**
Patience is essential right now. Check the Ubisoft forums and communities for any updates or potential solutions shared by other players. rollback to a previous Windows version if possible, but be aware that this might not be ideal for everyone. And most importantly,make sure your voice is heard.
Let Ubisoft know how these issues are affecting you. The more pressure they feel from the community, the more likely they are to prioritize a fix.
**archyde Gaming Editor:** Wise words. Well, thank you so much for sharing your insights on this complex situation, [Alex Reed Name]. Hopefully, Ubisoft will take swift action to resolve these problems and allow players to return to exploring ancient Egypt without technical headaches.
**[Alex Reed Name]:** Thanks for having me. I hope so too.
