- Microsoft explains game-crashing bug in latest Windows 11 update, clarifying it affected certain PCs with games using Easy Anti-Cheat causing crashes.
- The initial June update for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5060842) was paused due to compatibility issues, replaced by a revised update (KB5063060).
- The bug involved Easy Anti-Cheat causing PC game crashes, prompting Microsoft to release a second update for affected devices.
- Users with games using EAC may have not received the initial update to avoid crashing, and should have received the tweaked update now (KB5063060).
- Microsoft stated that the incompatibility issue was limited but didn't differentiate between PCs experiencing crashes and those not receiving the update.
- Confusion arose about the need for the second patch if the first one was installed, especially for users with games using Easy Anti-Cheat.
- Receiving either patch ensures security fixes and feature improvements, with the second one addressing the EAC bug.
- The situation caused uncertainty for users with EAC games, with Microsoft not clearly defining which PCs were affected by the bug.
- Microsoft recommends checking Windows Update for the second patch if experiencing game crashes with EAC.
- The bug may have affected a limited set of Windows 11 devices but impacted users prevented from receiving the June update.
