WARNING: Mafia III DOES NOT work on Intel/AMD CPUs without SSE 4.1/4.2 support, Developer looking into it

[ambar_hitman]

Crashes at desktop just like MGS V and No Mans Sky.
Both games were patched by devs later, and worked fine on Phenom CPUs, so lets see if these devs fix it.

EDIT: Video of the crash:

Hello Ambar,

Thanks for letting me know.

Once again, I'm sorry so to hear that you're having this issue with SSE 4.1 in Mafia III.

Another thank you for alerting us about the issue you are experiencing. It's thanks to the work of diligent players like you, we've been able to collect enough information about this issue to notify the development team, and they are currently working toward a solution.

Unfortunately, we do not have visibility on their progress here in customer support, and so we don't have a timeline for a fix to be implemented. That said, please follow us on Twitter (@MafiaGame), as this is where new info as well as upcoming patches will be announced.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Hi Pyro,

Thank you for contacting 2K Support, and I'm sorry for the delayed response.

I'm sorry to hear that you're unable to play Mafia III as the game is crashing upon start-up. I want to genuinely apologize that it was not listed in advance that you could not run the game if you have a Phenom 2 processor and that SSE 4.1 is not supported.

I want to thank you for alerting us about the issue you are experiencing. Because of the work of diligent players like you, we've been able to collect enough information about this issue to notify the development team, and they are currently working toward a solution. Unfortunately, we do not have visibility on their progress here in customer support, and so we don't have a timeline for a fix to be implemented.

EDIT 2: Game WILL NOT SUPPORT. 2K support are not competent enough to fix this issue:

Greetings Ambar,

Thank you kindly for your files and also for your efforts in providing us the links.

Unfortunately, your issue is directly related to the fact that your processor is AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T turns our to be under the minimum game requirements (you can find them all available HERE. Having said that, I am truly sorry but as a technical support we won't be able to help you with this issue.

You may try to contact the retailer you purchased the game from, explaining them the issue, then following their refund policy.

Once again, please accept sincere apologies because of this problem you've encountered.

In case of other questions or concerns regarding any of our 2K titles, I invite you to contact us again.

Sincerely,

Malgorzata Z.

Yeah sure

Are you seriously complaining about modern games not working on 10 year old cpu's? I imagine a board with the right socket for a phenom only has about 4gb of ram at max anyway

Wow aren't you ignorant? Phenom II CPUs were released in 2010, 6 years ago.
And the motherboards support upto 32 GB of RAM.
Almost all games run maxed out at 60 fps.

My channel is full of latest games running maxed out:

Almost 7 years ago that is along time in tech.

[ambar_hitman]

Yeah but all games run fine. Its just an oversight by devs. All games which had this issue were fixed in a day or two.

[necrosand]

LOL @ the Phenom guy
Grow up

[ambar_hitman]

This sucks. Hopefully devs can fix this.

What bottleneck when I can play all games at 1080p60fps?

I'm surprised that anyone would continue to punish themselves playing with AMD these days...it seems like almost every new release has a number of posts from AMD gamers reporting problems on day one.

Yeah, I will be switching to Intel in 2017 first quarter.

Couple of other Phenom users are also facing same issue.
