    Hi @trakgamer12 and welcome to Answers HQ

    Your CPU is below the minimum system requirements for Apex Legends and therefore wont be able to run the game.

    Minimum system requirements:

    • OS: 64-bit Windows 7
    • CPU: Intel Core i3-6300 3.8GHz / AMD FX-4350 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor
    • RAM: 6GB
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 / Radeon HD 7700
    • GPU RAM: 1 GB
    • HARD DRIVE: Minimum 30 GB of free space

    There's sadly nothing we can do except press the "me too" button on threads in here.

    POPCNT is a part of the SSE4 CPU instructions as can be seen here:

    As can be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/aop521/quick_update_before_the_weekend/ CPUs will also need SSE3 support.
