Incompatible CPU detected! Your CPU must support AVX instructions to run this game.

Got the the error message "Incompatible CPU detected! Your CPU must support AVX instructions to run this game."

I'm using a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz. Is that just... not able to run the game? I remember getting a similar warning from the Can You Run It site for Battlefield 1 but it nevertheless worked so I hoped it'd be the same.

If the game actually uses the AVX instructions, and you have a 960, then yea, it can't process the instructions.

Unfortunately this doesn't work because it collides with the anti-cheat.
Either the devs provide a workaround or you just gotta get a CPU that has the AVX instruction set necessary. End of the day that CPU is from late 2009. The future was bound to come knocking at some point.

That is probably the most realistic approach. Even if he gets it to run, it will not be enjoyable. This game depends heavily on the CPU.

You need an AVX supported CPU. Update your rig. There is no fix.

It's an instruction that is printed on the CPU, you can't "add" an hardware feature.
