Game requires AVX2 CPU support

[boddyboy]

Hello,
I managed to get two beta keys for myself and my brother, but when we launch the game from the FUNCOM launcher, we both get an error about the CPU not meeting AVX2 support requirement.
We didn't know that the game required AVX2 support.
I guess we won't be playing this game before the next decade, when our PCs break and we buy new ones, or maybe when FUNCOM will do like others have done before: Patch the game after release to remove the AVX2 requirement.
I don't know which will come first, though.
Regards.

How do you not have a CPU with AVX2 support? that's like every CPU for the last 15 years.

Gifting redeemed keys? I don't think people would be pleased.

Both computers were bought new in 2015. That's 10 years ago. They are still doing a fine job with everything. We never had a reason to upgrade the CPUs.

lol. I read this in Yoda's voice and it somehow made sense: I don't have fun but I'm able to run. Some would say it describes the game well.

Intel added AVX2 support in 2013, with AMD adding it in Q2 2015.

You must have bought older CPU's than these, which sucks.

A new PC with minimum specs for running this game cost less than a 100 bucks though if you really want to play the game and do not have a budget for a new high end rig.

oh! sad. also can't play it. although conan starts and works without problems.
very sad that they did this and force to update the pc.

A computer bought ten years ago, likely built a year or two prior to that date, is a crumbling antique in computing terms. If they haven't had some parts heavily upgraded since then, they're just junk.

I don't have time to update now. I've been out of work for several years because of the situation in the country.
Even if everything ends, I doubt I'll be able to afford an update for at least a year.

I'll have to change more than just the processor. The motherboard seems to only support the current one to the maximum

Yeah you have much higher prorities than getting a new PC right now. It might not even be a smart move to send you a new one as charity as that could make you a desired target for robbery. Better wait until things stabilize.

The game is quite processor dependent.

Sucks to be trapped in the developing world, I guess.

that's INTEL for you lmao,that's what you get for supporting this ♥♥♥♥. why anyone buying intel instead of amd is beyond my comprehension.

Hello,
Thanks everyone for the replies. I don't have time or inclination to answer anyone, but let it be known that I'm looking for a way to add a module that emulates and advertises AVX2 support at the kernel level. I forgot to say that this is all about Linux.
Regards.

Sweet Jesus H. Christ... o.O That CPU is 14 years old and the chipset it runs on does not even sport CPUs that support AVX2. I do agree that I scratch my head why suddenly a game should NEED AVX2 instructions...then again, upgrading once every "newborn to highschool" timespan should happen...and if not, that can't be blamed on the devs.

Edit: Nevermind.. i read up on AVX2 and can understand why you want to take advantage of that.. :)
