Until now, players have been able to enjoy Assassins Creed: Origins on PC with few problems, but the most recent Windows 11 update has thrown a wrench into things. Now players are review bombing Assassins Creed: Origins with complaints of crashes, blue screens, freezing, and a lot more. Theres one thing to keep in mind, though: the Windows update is to blame, not the game itself. Origins isnt the only game affected by the update, either.A user named The Hidden One appropriate for a subject like Assassins Creed shared the news on X. Recent reviews have a mixed rating, and the bar graph shows a distinct spike in negative reviews since the update. Of course, its understandable why fans reacted that way; Ubisoft doesnt have the best track record with PC ports. Then again, thats not just a Ubisoft problem.Recommended VideosAssassin's Creed Origins is getting bombed with negative reviews because of Microsofts 24H2 Windows 11 update which has bricked the game for a lot of people. Black screens, crashes, and freezes, and still no fixes yet. pic.twitter.com/kldzId77HY The Hidden One (@TheHiddenOneAC) December 30, 2024Get your weekly teardown of the tech behind PC gaming The update primarily seems to mess with games that use AutoHDR and, for whatever reason, Ubisoft titles specifically. Aside from Origins, two otherAssassins Creedgames have exhibited crashes: Assassins Creed: Valhalla and Assassins Creed: Odyssey. The issue isnt exactly new; the problem has persisted for around a week now, and Microsoft hasnt supplied players with updates on when they can expect a fix.RelatedSome members of the community have reported solving the issue by disabling AutoHDR. Simply turning off the setting is enough to stabilize a lot of the games, but Ubisoft players seem to be disproportionately impacted. Other Reddit users have also said the update affects Path of Exile 2Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, too.These are temporary fixes that work for the moment, but until Microsoft releases a patch or hotfix that will resolve the issues this update introduced, certain games may have spotty performance.Editors Recommendations
