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?

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.

Validate your game files. Fixed it for me. I'm playing right now
what does it mean to validate your game files?
Right click your game go to properties then installed files then validate game files

am i the only person who realizes that (as far as i know) 2K didnt mention that you need to have AVX2 to run this game? before going into this thread i had no clue what AVX2 even is. they should've at least tell us something about that. maybe a heads up? idk. but from what i can gather, looks like i need a massive streamer advance PC to run this game. and im not buying a whole new ass processor that has AVX2 because A. i dont have 1,000 quid lying around (as if) and B. i got my PC like more than 2 months ago and ALREADY have to upgrade it to play this **one** game. even though last years can work fine. 2K never fails to disappoint smh. i dont if i should wait for some type of patch so everyone can play or refund this game entirely (i hope it wont be the second option)

It's literally in the requirements...

AVX2 has been around like 12 years since 2013, since the start of Haswell (i3,5,7 4xxx series). Update your rig.

It must be true. The game runs fine for me before and after patch. I just checked my system and it supports AVX and AVX2. If anyone wants to know if AVX2 is on thier PC, just click "help" tab in the steam client, then click "System information" scroll the list till you see AVX2, then see if it says supported or unsupported.

Its really not that hard:

All Intel CPU since 2013 = Intel i4000 Series
All AMD FX till Ryzen2000 = really bad cause of amd hardware hack doing AVX2
All AMD since Ryzen 3000 = will run really smooth as any Intel CPU

so basically
All Intel >= i4000 series
All AMD >= Ryzen 3000 series


Crashes and freezes on AMD systems < Ryzen 3000 are most likely due to their very bad AVX2 support.

Well mate hey its me again.. :)

Technically correct and incorrect at the same time:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD Ryzen 5 1400
RAM: 12 GB
GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 480
Note: GPU must have at least 3GB of Video Memory and CPU must support AVX2 & F16C

It literally quotes Ryzen1400 as minimum.
Ryzen1000 however does actually not have native AVX2 hardware support, It can run on a Ryzen1000 series by a microcode hack from amd in where they combine two AVX1 units to do avx2 calcs. But the performance is horrible as its more like a software hack then real hardware support.

Real avx2 units have only been implemented with Ryzen 3000 series.
But as 2K decided to quote 1000 compatibile they now also need to handle the crashes on AMD1000-2000 series which people are reporting here and in 2K support


btw little argument to your 2K rep you may talk to:
Bulldozer FX had actually the same (bad) AVX2 implementation as Ryzen 1000. Why did they mark bulldozer as incompatible but did say ryzen 1000 works? They have the very same avx units hardware wise.

If AVX2 is required, It should have quoted Ryzen 3000 a min specs, point out.

AMD lists AVX2 as one of the key features of the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 processor.
https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/processors/ryzen/ryzen-1000-series/amd-ryzen-5-1400.html

If there are multiple AVX2 solutions out there and that inconsistency is causing crashes, it's on AMD (and/or VC) to fix that. Send tickets to both 2K and AMD Support.

I don't know much about processors but apparently "Only Bulldozer GEN4 (Excavator) supports AVX2 instruction sets" which seems to be Athlon X4 processors. I don't remember anyone saying those don't run the game yet.

i need to search the benchmarks but ryzen 1000 series avx2 performance was basically on pair with the much older intel i6000 series from 2014 (think even below that). And i was just looping through the crash topics, imho an unusual high amount of amd systems is included there - keeping in mind that the overall generell intel / amd spread is more or less 70-30 in favor of intel.

and then that ryzen 1000 sucks at certain avx2 operation came back to my mind

edit
here you go just scroll down for the benchmark pic, ryzen 1000 is sometimes up to 60%(!) slower in certain avx2 operations then intel i7-7000 series and even slightly slower as i7-6000

It's strange, havent tried to run this game since my specs are old by today standards, but I was able to run wwe 2k24 (at minimun) whithout any trouble and I didnt got AvX2 installed.

My PC: Intel i7-8400, 8GB ram and Gtx 950.

Why do you say it was necesary to run the previous game?

Isnt it a bad optimization with 2k25 instead of a driver ? I am talking in ignorance since most of the people talking here meet the specs. (Clearly not me lol)

Because I mixed something up. AVX2 is actually a new requirement for this franchise starting from this game.

AVX2 is a hardware instruction set. It can't be installed via drivers. If the processor can't run it, they don't meet the specs.

Thanks for the info pal, will have that info.

Some of your guys specs are EXTREMELY outdated and unfort. you will get newer games that will start not to run.. This being one of them.

Running processors or GPUs from 8+ years ago and expecting modern title to run isnt realistic. Even if the last game worked great.

guys its only a matter of time a lot of players will be blocked out from buying games because of new system requirements lets just save up and buy new parts/new pc now yall

Havent even tried to buy it, since I Saw that the game requires to have 16gb of ram.
I am not very fond of ultra graphics, so even at minimun, I enjoy games like resident evil 4
