"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.

Yeah, developers like to rely on undocumented or quirky behavior.

But then, Microsoft also likes to change code that may or may not behave like the documentation says it should.

Microsoft does a piss poor job of documenting things, so a certain level of reliance on undocumented behavior is hard to avoid.

That's no excuse for games hacking the kernel, though.
