Hi,
Until now I could play the game without issues on my old PC, with 3rd gen i7 3770 CPU.
But since the last update(15), the game does not want to start anymore.
When I launch the game, only the splash screen shows, after which it disappears and nothing happens.
Is there any solution to fix this?
Or the latest update finally made impossible to run the game on such old CPU?
Dont think this is a compatibility issue but more of an installation issue. Try creating a new windows profile and launch the game from there.
Your CPU is under the minimum requirements. If it doesn’t work anymore, well then there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe it needs something your CPU can’t do.
Maybe it needs newer stuff like AVX2 or something I don’t know. They don’t guarantee that the game runs with your CPU.
From what I’ve tested & from what I can tell there’s something changed in the game executable itself since the last update, not some other files that are crucial to run one might suspect to be modified, like d3d12core.dll or something. I believe it’d be extremely easy & won’t require much effort for devs to make a patch/hotfix & deploy it since it’s definitely NOT a complete rendering pipeline rewrite, or something else that would be guaranteed to NOT run on an Ivy Bridge CPU, AVX2 instructions set involved or not.
Basically, what I’m saying is, since the game isn’t being globally overhauled (RTGI is still an option, not a forced requirement. Many people would still prefer to play with it toggled off to preserve the framerate), and the game ran without an issue beforehand, there’s no just reason for the game to NOT run on 3770 now, as it still should be playable (to even the lowest degree, yes, but playable) on that CPU, or any other CPU really that could still run the game prior to Update 15. This hardware check should be removed from the executable because it does more harm than good.
This is interesting because many people and myself included are finding our unsupported cpu’s are crashing before the game can launch. My Clock speeds spike to around 70ish%, power spikes to around 44w and getting 100% load for a split second.
Most of us are just wondering if this is another bug or have they changed something… although FH5 is still running perfectly for me
CPU is a i7 3770k and yes I’ve been meaning to buy a new rig but I am just saving for it.
Same here but I have i73990 and have been running the game at ultra and haven’t had any problems until the December update. I think it’s not signing in like other times when I was signed in already with x box app , a window popped up to sign in
then I clicked ok and the game would start . I think somebody goofed up on that last update. maybe the next update it will work. It might take year considering the history of the same game problems.
Some are thinking they might be spreading the load across more cores so it runs better.
Every post made about having issues with this update all have unsupported cpu’s.
