@BlackSpider10 I completely understand your stance, though I want to point out a few things.
I had a Phenom II 1100T running at 4.0GHz overclocked and it was very capable. I really wanted Respawn to fix this issue, and I still hope they do for users like you. It is Respawn doing the programming, not EA, and they certainly aren't incompetent.
I have a degree in game programming, and even I am not certain to what extent they use the SSSE3 and SSE4.1 sets. It seems SSE4.1 is typically quite a small fix and not all the necessary for games. SSSE3 however, which as your image shows is not supported by Phenom II, is a different story.
Even with a basic grasp of game programming and glancing over the requirements, it's easy to see why programmers would want these features available. Yes, I'm sure there is a way to program around it, but it may actually be a significant amount of work. Not saying they shouldn't do it, it just may take time.
We don't know the details behind the scenes and my biggest disappointment has been how little Respawn has addressed the issue in general. They may have truly believed that very few people were still gaming on these processors, but obviously it was an oversight. No matter what though, upgrading on the cheap is still a performance bump.
As I said, with my FX-8350 I have seen a significant increase in frame rates. I have it overclocked to 4.4GHz with ease on the exact same setup as my 1100T, and I believe I could push it further. Plus I have 8 cores now and I'm sure I'll see a bump in video editing and rendering speeds as well.
At any rate, I'm not fully trying to defend Respawn, though I think insulting their programmers given how solid this game actually is, isn't called for. Just wanted to discuss the pros of doing the upgrade, agree with staying on EA and Respawn to fix the issue, but also as someone with dev connections encourage patience. Thanks for your reply though and I do hope they fix this soon.
