Some games not launching with builds 20257 and 20262

Since build 20257, the Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Valhalla games are no longer launched. I was hoping that build 20262 would fix the problem, but it doesn't. So I have to go back to build 20251 for these games to work.

    The following crash after the splash screen, when initializing overlays:

    * Assassin's Creed Origins (Steam)

    * Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Steam)

    * Assassin's Creed Valhalla (Ubisoft)

    * Injustice 2 (Steam)

    The following program fails with a clear notice that it's anti-cheat failing:

    * Phantasy Star Online 2 (Windows Store, Steam - both versions)

    Phantasy Start Online 2 is NProtect/Inca.

    BattlEye is working fine on current insider's, Easy Anti-Cheat as well - so I don't think it's either of those.  I can write a small test program with Easy Anti-Cheat to verify, but AC doesn't have folders for either BattlEye or EAC, and usually there's a folder to reinstall it when it becomes damaged and causes games not to start, or the system to blue screen, which happens even without insider builds.

    Devuno, however, was used in Origins and Odyssey although it is not declared on the Steam pages, so I don't know the current status.  Injustice 2 uses Devuno anti-tamper.  And so that appears to be the common thread through the titles.

    I am able to run Far Cry 5 from Ubisoft which also uses Denuvo so I'm not 100% certain that this is what is breaking it.

    We haven't heard much from Microsoft on this issue (Coming up on 2 weeks).

    It has been broken for 4-5 weeks for me.

    Yep, it's Denuvo protected:

    Injustice™ 2 su Steam (steampowered.com)

    Anti-Tampers and Anti-Cheats are implemented in different versions according to the type of the game.

    So it will be very difficult to debug.

    Have a nice day!

    This is still an issue on build 21277. Please fix this soon. The only build they will launch with is 20251, but that build has bluetooth issues

    Over a month later and games are still crashing.

    We are not getting much information from Microsoft - if any at all.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising will also not launch for me.
