Mine doesnt show any error, it just doesnt load.

I would make your own thread on the issue. Please list your specs when you do.

My cpu supports both and it still doesnt work so there may be some fear spreading preemptively

Same to you.

whats the value of that statement? my point is simple, correlation is not causation.... 7800x3d 4070ti 32gb ram... white screen.... nothing.... i also see a lot of "no file privileges" in the threads..... so its equally possible there was an error in the pre-release

So still no answer for my problem AND you deleted my post, why Zeo?

I would recommend making a new thread. Based on the opening post, it's narrowed down to the 3770 processor models.

got it, thanks ^^

All I know is that 2K24 ran perfectly. I wasn't even aware of AVX2 before today, it's never come up before now. And my processor can run Triple A games without breaking a sweat, for the record.

Seeing as there's a distinct reason in this thread and your PC doesn't match the symptoms, it's likely something else so a new thread for your situation is a better option to avoid confusion.

If it turns out there's an issue in the game, then all the threads will find a fix at the same time. But for now, your diagnostic run goes on a different path, which is why I recommend making a new thread.

It's apparently a requirement.

But that means I have to change half the stuff in my PC and I just spent 120 quid on this. Is there any other solution?

What are your specs?

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K
GPU: GTX 1660 Ti

I'm having the same issue but I've was able to run 2k23 and 2k24

You're the third person to say 2K24 worked for you so I double checked and I've been mixing up my requirements. AVX2 is also a new requirement for the WWE 2K franchise. That's why you've been able to play the previous games with an i7-3770 or i7-3770K.

AVX2 came to NBA 2K25 last year, causing my crossed wires.

Given the circumstances, you are (& probably will be for some time) able to refund even if you have surpassed the allowed playtime, so don't worry about that part. Rather try and see if 2K makes a statement or smth. I've refunded and I'm waiting to see if anything comes up.

It's based on a new requirement so I doubt they'll make any extra statements. Officially, you would need to upgrade. A processor that can run the AVX2 instructions set is a requirement for the game. As AVX2 is a hardware instruction set. It can't be installed via drivers. If a processor can't run it, it doesn't meet the specs.

Unofficially, there's an Intel emulator that could make it work, but this would be at your own risk. It's not something 2K Support would be able to suggest or assist with, I'm only mentioning it because it's an Intel website.

I can't help past that. You'll have to do the research on your side.

Pretty sure you can try help since it is still about 2K25?

[Zeokage]

I've never tried it myself and it's also not an official fix.

i7-4820K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3701 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) Does support AVX2 and F16C, 30 GRAM, System Type x64-based PC, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 will not run this game it will auto shut down! IDK when you guys make pc games you just crap out every time!

So the game is unplayable without upgrading my PC?
