Windows 11 24h2 crashing/freezing NTDLL.DLL fix?

[Talhaskrillx]

As the title says before the update it worked perfectly fine. But now it crashing every few minutes and throws the error in event viewer as ntdll.dll crash.
No hardware changes no drivers changes. Just updated my windows to 24h2.
Anyone else facing the same issue.
PS. Windows + any drivers are upto date.

Update 14th Jan: Ubisoft released a hotfix that fixes the crashes with windows 24h2. The game is working fine now. The patch size is around 230 mb. See update history for the game for more details
Thank you devs for the fix.
Last but not least thank you all for all you help and badges <3. Enjoy the game.

So this issue is still not resolved??

[hexaae]

This time honestly it's a Microsoft fault that broke working games...

I can understand bugs and freezes in new games, but in the old ones... Fix it asap please while we're looking other way and play Stalker 2.

W10 ftw

24H2 is a buggy mess, actually. DONT UPDATE! I wish I did not, Win 11 23H2 was working perfectly fine, not limited to this game only....

Microsoft will be HAPPY to know, that Windows 11 isnt having more people active.

is not only problem with Origin and Odyssey but almost all games from Ubisoft not work...

Source?
Just checked with AC IV Black Flag (Ubisoft Connect only DRM) and does work fine...

Even on Win 10 AC IV Black Flag crashing,freezing when i play it and u need turn off some settings to even run it... Also is on google and stop Bs. If this is Microsoft problem, why i can play all other games except Ubisoft games?

AC IV BF requries a pair of fixes on modern HW, that's it:
- reduce CPU cores on modern multicores
- disable full screen optimization
but it works fine this way even on 24H2 as I tested the other day.

To reduce CPU cores you can try ImageCfg (will modify the exe file).
I use a MS-ACT all-in-one "patch" I made myself: https://ibb.co/BL8r40w
I can share it if you need...

If you have no idea what MS-ACT is, have a look at my guide for Max Payne:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1934864423
Alternatively, you can also try with the same solution to reduce cpu cores working with Lost Planet 2 and Arcania Gothic... See my other guide (cap 5):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1709583781
It's a simple fake dinput8.dll which actually reduces cores you have to put in the same dir of the game exe.

I'm used to fix older games to run with modern HW/SW if you see all my guides...

I wonder if would be possible to workaround-fix this game too and its incompatibilities with 24H2 (didn't try as I don't have Origins installed ATM)... but MS/UBI promised a patch so we can just wait for an official fix this time...

I have same issue here.....buggered.

[skypichat (FR)]

I really not have chance bacause I mounted a new computer and used Media Creation Tool.
I changed my computer for the reason of my old PC not starts this game (too old). It's not possible to revert W11 24h2 (no previous version)
Finnally, I continue with a game that I can't play :(
I will wait...

[Go hard like bananas]

Still complete silence. Months since the Ubi guy replied in this thread. Months since the Microsoft "known issues" page was updated: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-24h2#3448msgdesc. Can't find ANY official statement from Ubisoft even acknowledging the issue. They still sell the game, but tell some people in here they will not support it because it is a legacy game? Time for a class action lawsuit? Anyone know how to launch one? Sign me up for it. This needs to end, and we need to set a precedence.

I won’t buy any Ubisoft games until it is fixed for good

[MrRipley316]

Well, still not able to play :(

[Loracs]

At this point, I think we will have to rely to the community to fix the issue. There are great programmers, fan of the series, that would take the slack from MS and Ubisoft. They both are completely sidestepping their responsibilities and leaving their consumer in limbo. Shameful conduct!!!!
