Ubisoft finally patched incompatibility of AC Origins and Valhalla with Windows 11

Ubisoft's Recent Update Success: A Positive Note Amidst Ongoing Challenges

Our "How is Ubisoft today?" series continues. While upper management navigates ongoing difficulties, a significant positive development has emerged: a long-standing compatibility issue has been resolved.

Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility problems between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. This update, released in Fall 2024, caused malfunctions in games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, among others. The solution arrived via newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.

Player reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with comments expressing relief and gratitude for the long-awaited fix. The root cause, this time, was attributed to Windows, not Ubisoft's development. Despite this positive response, user reviews for both games remain "Mixed."

There's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed until March 20th. Ubisoft aims to enhance the game's quality before launch, recognizing its potential impact on the company's future.
