Can my Intel i7 960 run the game?

[Xosk00]

Hello,

I bought and installed the game and it won't run. Whenever I try, it creates a folder in Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025 called updater. Steam would show it run for a few seconds and then would stop. I opened task manager and I don't even see the process start on it.

I have done most of the things I can find like updating my drivers, move the installed location, verified game files and even moved my documents folder around on different drives. Among other things.

Now my only guess is that my CPU doesn't support some sort of functionality that is required and not shown in the system requirements. AVX for example.

Do I need to upgrade my CPU to play this game or is it something else that I haven't tried?

Thanks in advance!


Here is some of my PC specs in case it helps:
Intel i7 960 @ 3.20 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
18GB of RAM (Can't remember what DDR)
Windows 10 Pro

ahh yeah thats a first gen cpu 4 core i 7 . it's a ddr 3 i believe. you might want to upgrade that pc . the Graphics card is fine . you don't have to go all the way to the top for the most recent pc if you wish to save $ 8th gen and up is what you want to be able to run win 11 because 10 will be gone in oct 2025. What ever you get make sure the power supply is 600 watts or 500 minimum . you will need to upgrade the ram to ddr4 . 8th gen will run at 2666 mhz max . This would be plenty to run this game .

For those who do not run the game on older processors. Unlike the 22 part, in the 25, ingenious developers attached AVX2 to this wretched graphics, the reason (a wretched change in the landscape). So we continue to play the 22 part and be happy))

Uh what?
Well an i7 960 is 15 years old. At some point you'll have to upgrade.

That CPU is 15 years old. You should have upgraded your systems 5 years ago. Now it realy is time to do some changes.
Its like driving an 70 years old car and wondering why modern gas not working with the car.

The next one is gonna be asking why it does not run on its pentium II CPU. -.-

Do you really think that for the sake of this unfinished DLS I need to run for a new computer? You will understand the numbers in the screenshot, right?

I haven't said a peep about your PC.

It's on the same platform as the guy from the first post, and the processor is the same age as the i7-960. It's just that due to the introduction of AVX instructions, developers are pushing aside quite working assemblies for themselves.

And now you should know the difference between Xeon CPUs designed for servers and Simple i7 CPUs. These two are not on par the Xeon is in fact the better CPU.

Its like compareing a Ferrari with a BMW and saying, same cars. So the bmw not getting to 400 km/h is not the cars fault.

I can only repeat: At some point you have to upgrade.

Yes, you are a philosopher, but certainly not a pragmatist, once a year even nature is updated))
