The recent Windows 11 update from Microsoft is causing issues in video games.
If you've been having trouble playing your video games after a recent Windows 11 update, you're not alone. Users of various games are reporting crashes and freezes.
Recently, players of Assassin’s Creed: Origins on PC have experienced various issues following the latest update of Windows 11. This update has caused game crashes, including blue screens, freezes, and drops, leading to a flood of negative reviews. However, it is important to clarify that the source of these problems is not the game itself, but rather the Windows update.
The impact of this update is not limited to Origins; other Ubisoft titles have also experienced similar crashes. A user identified as The Hidden One, alluding to the Assassin's Creed theme, pointed out in a post that recent reviews show a noticeable increase in unfavorable critiques since the implementation of the update.
Although these complaints are understandable, as Ubisoft has faced criticism for its PC adaptations, the issue with this update extends beyond Ubisoft alone. Specifically, it seems to affect games utilizing AutoHDR functionality, with Ubisoft titles being the most impacted. In addition to Origins, other games like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey have also shown failures.
This inconvenience has persisted for around a week now, and so far, Microsoft has not provided information on when fixes will be released. Some players have mentioned that disabling AutoHDR has helped mitigate the issues, but this temporary solution has not resolved the situation for everyone affected. Likewise, other titles like Path of Exile 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader have also been impacted by the update.
Meanwhile, the community continues to await a patch or quick fix to address the failures caused by this latest Microsoft update, as without it, the performance of certain games may remain inconsistent.
