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.
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 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

And this is the ONLY game that this updated killed? If thats the case, sounds like a game problem to me.
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.
I recall hearing about another game that was killed by 24H2, but I can’t remember which one off the top of my head.

ironic that the crash reporter makes the game crash on launch
I know from personal experience it broke Star Wars Outlaws. Appears to have broken any Ubisoft games using that same engine.
Kinda random but it also broke Canon scan software
Apparently Path of Exile 2 has very serious performance issues on Windows 11 24H2, to the point of being unplayable.
Seems to be other games too

Knowing Microsoft, breaking Firefox was probably intentional
