This game has avx 2

[Anderson Souza]

For those who don't open the game, know that it's ♥♥♥♥, it has AVX 2... That's right, a game that is even available for the PS4 has AVX 2 on the PC, so third-generation Intel processors and below will not run the game... for those who You don't know, Uncharted also had this problem on PC but it was fixed after a few weeks after players were charged, so I think it would be possible to charge the company to fix this too!

so we need to make noise af or time to refund ?

yes, i know the other alternative is buy a PC

The question is more how much does the game use the AVX2 instruction set? If it is just a case of the AVX flag just being set to on or does it actually use the instruction set for optimization purposes.

So it is very possible that the game doesn't need AVX2, but we can't be fully sure. Though I will admit it is a likely probability that the game doesn't need it; I can't see Cypress actually writing assembly code level optimization in the game.

Still, CPU's without AVX2 support are 10+ years old now. At some point, we need to accept that AVX2 is going to be required rather than make it out to be some boogeyman.

Clown post, if your CPU does not support AVX2 it probably will not even be able to run this game. You are complaining that 12 year old hardware can't run a game that just came out.

" third-generation Intel processors" oooh cmon, my phone has more power!

There now only 3 games in STEAM that requieres the instructions set AVX2/F16C/FMA3:

-Uncharted. After literally thousand of people including people on Twitter, Youtubers, Streamers and oficial gaming sites they decided to add another exe that didn't requiered the AX2 instruction set.

-Star Ocean 6. Square Enix DID not cared about it and released the game in GeForce Now. After a bit of tweaking they discovered the game didn't ask for AVX2 but there was a F16C line script that the compile shader windows needed to do so there was no way to launch the game without SDK.

-Granblue Fantasy Relink. Is new so we don't know

Your best bet is to actually ask to the support in Cygames oficial site if they gonna add support to 2nd/3rd gen intel CPU or AMD equivalent but.... it might takes months if not years and is better for you to actually buy a new PC because more games will come with this and everyone who owns a 2nd/3rd gen intel cpu will get blocked out from playing.

STEAM or the publisher SHOULD add these things to the specs requirements of every game that need those instructions. They did it with a couples of games like Yakuza 0 for the AVX i went to check it out and they removed the avx description lol wtf. There are a good amount if not every new games except those 3 mentioned above that ask you a 6th gen i3 or a i5 9th gen as minimum and the game runs smooth as butter on a i5 2400.

In other words people under spec. No wonder.

While it was pointless to upgrade during the last ~15 years, when intel did nothing but rerelease the same cpu with an extra "+" added, Intel's alder lake+ and AMD's 3D cache technology achieved significant boosts in computing power, so there is a real reason to upgrade now and you can get a ddr4 low end gen14 or any 3D AMD CPU and see like triple performance.

They might be working on it? It didn't take CD Projekt RED that long to patch it out of CP2077. A little over a week, but then again they have decades of experience with developing PC games. I'm not so sure about Cygames as this game is a port.

[Neppo]

SteamDB for granblue relink has had a quite bit going on today, so maybe they are working on a patch now, one can only hope.

the game recommends a rx 6700xt. imagine pairing a 3rd gen intel with that 💀

AMD didn't become competitive with intel until zen3

Cinebench r15
zen2 AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 605
3rd gen Intel Core i7-4960X 1092

Not sure what the issues is, I have a 3rd gen intel that runs every game on the market, just finished cyberpunk. Why exactly does it need the AVX2 instruction set? I have a 13th gen overclocked to near 6ghz but I use it mainly for video encoding and it would explain why it works on that machine now... These kids crying about people that have an older processor need to grow up. Already refunded. Please get educated why the 3rd gen intel is still relevant today. I have it overclocked to 5.6 ghz and haven't found a single it couldn't run until today.

Don't post stuff like this man.. Your computer is 10+ generations behind, we are at Intel 14th gen, you dont even have 3rd gen? Its not the devs fault that you cant afford a proper gaming rig, go work and get off the forums

[Gio]

wait how do you guys have 3rd gen processor? are you trying to run it on your samsung fridge or something?

or, you could stop sitting on your 3rd gen cpu while we are already at gen 11 .. i think ... so far. even tho the gen 11 intel chips tend to act like AMD cpus in the past and tend to fry themselfs if you dont undervolt them, doesnt matter how powerfull your liquid cooling is XD.

iunno if intel fixxed that somehow already x3.
for example: i was sitting for a looooooooooooooooong time on a nvidia GT 210. for those who dont know that gpu, it was a little powerhouse tho. it had only 512mb vram but damn played it some games like a champ ( i played the sims 4 with it!!!! XD only on 1024x768 and low graphics but it played the sims 4 at stable 25~30fps XXXDDDDD). THO!!! then came the day where games stopped to support DX10 and well ... that was the time to say goodbye to a gpu which impressed me many times of what she was capable to play.

now have i an AMD ryzen 5 2600x with an nvidia rtx 2060 super and 32GB of ram. you wont believe how different the PC world for me was 4 years ago when i got this new rig XD.

nowadays is this rig maybe just "standard" and something which atleast every mid gaming PC should have ... maybe a bit more powerfull cpu. but, the gpu will probably last for 5 more years before i struggle to play games like it was with the 210.

btw Advanced Vector Extensions is a nice thing.
