Please EA/Respawn fix POPCNT error

Dear EA/Respawn

I am writting this email because of an error when i try to run the game "your cpu does not have POPCNT!".

Yes i know what is POPCNT and my CPU is old for it because its Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 with 6GB RAMs and a GTX 770 but come on EA I played Titanfalls 2 on this pc (awesome game) and it ran on medium settings with 60-70 FPS and my PC really can't run this game come on ☹️ I played a lot of games with high system requirement like The Witcher 3 (High/50-60 FPS) PUBG (Low/60-70FPS) Rust (Medium/50 FPS) and of course Titanfall 2 (Medium/60-70 FPS as i said).

Please EA/Respawn I really like your game and please patch it, everything is possible.

Thank for your patience

This game requires the POPCNT CPU feature and the minimum requirements reflect that need.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7
Processor (AMD): AMD FX 4350 or Equivalent
Processor (Intel): Intel Core i3 6300 or Equivalent
Memory: 6GB - DDR3 @1333 RAM
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ HD 7730
Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® GT 640
DirectX: 11 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Hard-drive space: 22GB

Thanks.

Sir, I have an Intel quad Q9550 with 8GB of RAM and a geforce 1070TI on it and a the best mother of that moment. I play Fortnite at 120 fps at full. My processor is old but is an old Ferrari. Old Ferrari win a lot of new cars. The SSE4.1 instruction requeriment to play APEX basically is discriminate old CPUs that still have great perfomance and can be use with good graphic cards like a 1070TI.
I personally compare and test same games using a PC with a new Core I5+1070TI VS Q9550+1070TI and there are only 5 of difference. APEX make a big mistake blocking old CPUs. Old doesn't mean it has low performance!!, and ALL the test of games using SSE2 vs the SSE 4.1 demostrate that you dont have any perfomance benefit using SSE 4.1 instead of SSE2.0, some games only have 2FPS of difference on tests using SSE2.0 vs SSE4.1 and is not that's not enough justification to block old but good the CPUs.

I personally compare and test same games using a PC with a new Core I5+1070TI vs Q9550+1070TI and there are only 5 or 7 fps of difference at high fps (120 vs 115fps aprox).

@Player_mr148lepThey are morons! Instead making game that works on big percent of computers, they discriminate old processors and made terrible video optimisatiion! You re lucky with 1070, Im on 1050 ti, and its pure torture! half time it feels like Im playing on 30 fps even I killed all settings on lowest of low possible settings with advanced customisation! Actually, at end Im not even sure anymore that its my video card , or game is just terrible coded
