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.

Where did you see that it supports AVX2? It doesn't appear on these pages.

It doesn't run AVX2 according to these sites:

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

So the game is unplayable without upgrading my PC?
Officially, it seems so.

Game not opening at all for processors 3770 & 3770K.
I bought the advanced access deadman edition, and ever since yesterday the game is simply not opening.

After doing some research through the forums, I discovered multiple people with the same exact issue where steam says it's launching, then running, then it just never opens. Our common similarities ended up being that our specific processor runs on 3770.

This does not make sense, considering I ran previous 2K games just fine on 60 FPS with no crashing whatsoever.

I would like this new discussion to be dedicated to spread the word, such that 2K can patch it as soon as possible.
