So, ironically, all games effected by this would run better on Linux through WINE with Proton. Funny how the tables have turned. Linux is absolutely the best platform for gaming now, not Windows.

This update also stops Windows VR headsets (WMR) from working. They decided to remove the drivers from this windows version onwards (which is the only way to get them), so it turns them into $600 paper weights.

That's not review bombing, that's just leaving a negative review because the experience has turned negative.
They should direct their complaints at MS if that's what broke their game, but I don't expect the average Assassin's Creed player to understand the difference.
Depends. Microsoft might be to blame indeed but I've seen several people saying Ubisoft has a habit of using undocumented non-public API.
If they're not supposed to use it to begin with, it's their fault when it doesn't work anymore. That would certainly explain why it happens to almost nothing but Snowdrop powered games.

MS working hard to acquire Ubisoft at bargain prices.
Don't worry Ubisoft is also working hard to become a bargain to buy.
They are still on their obsession of NFT games that's how disconnected they are from their playerbase.

And this is the ONLY game that this updated killed? If thats the case, sounds like a game problem to me.
Kinda random but it also broke Canon scan software
The Resident Evil 4 Remake also doesn't start with 24H2, there's is a workaround to make it work though. Need to delete the CrashReporter.exe in the game folder.
ironic that the crash reporter makes the game crash on launch
I think it's quite a few Ubisoft games that are affected. So kinda yes and no. But for me it broke Firefox and I had to roll back, so that update in general is just an awful pile of garbage
Knowing Microsoft, breaking Firefox was probably intentional
Seems to be other games too

On another note being subbed to similar communities across fediverse kind of makes articles that popped up a day ago and sometimes longer show up again give me feelings of deja vu.
both articles seem to suggest that this is only (or primarily) affecting ubisoft games, which suggests that ubisoft might share some of the blame here. microsoft is very dumb for pushing out an update that breaks a ton of games, especially given how much they claim to love backwards compatibility. but ubisoft is also dumb if they are relying on undocumented APIs, as some of the other comments suggest they might be. microsoft already struggles to keep their documented APIs stable, so i can only imagine what happens with the undocumented APIs
I recall hearing about another game that was killed by 24H2, but I can't remember which one off the top of my head.
No, I bet you it was the DRM kit that runswith the game executable. Ubisoft are being dipshits as usual.
That's still a "game" problem.
