As reported by VGC, Microsoft updated its support website to reveal it has placed a temporary block on Windows 11 for users with those games installed.
“After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might encounter issues with some Ubisoft games,” Microsoft said. "These games might become unresponsive while starting, loading or during active gameplay.
"In some cases, users might receive a black screen. The affected games are Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Aren’t all of these SP games? The fuck they need anti-cheat for?
You know the cosmetics things that you could unlock using cheat codes 20 years ago in single player games ? You now have to pay for it. And they bloat your OS kernel to ensure that you don’t get those valuables skins without actually paying for it.
Lol yea long ass time ago, when crack engines where a thing or even console codes. The fuck…
And a lot of the items were introduced on the initiative of developers without any coordination with Marketing team
It’s probably kernel level anti-piracy shit, but same results.
Ubisoft sells cosmetic stuff in their singleplayer games.
Most of it gets cracked anyways though, but I guess lol shit reason for them but only explanation.
Only the ones that come with some ultimate edition, the store exclusive ones never do.
They only need to make sure it’s difficult enough the average user can’t be bothered to figure out the workaround. I’m sure without looking they made a considerate sum from the neglected children market.
That’s the truth, they wouldn’t do it if they didn’t make money off it.
I was curious too, and… Avatar appears to have a co-op mode. Not really high stakes for cheating.
