Old intel CPU
Hello everyone, my name is Oleg, I am from Ukraine. Faced a problem after checking anti-cheat - the game just crashes into the library and nothing happens next. My processor is xeon e 5440 and I know...
@foreest00 Hello Oleg, if your CPU doesn't support the SSE 4.2 instruction set it will not be able to run Apex Legends.
Dear developers, I create another topic, because the last time I did not receive a detailed answer to my question. I am the owner of the xeon e5440 processor, and of course I can not play your game, due to the fact that I need support for SSE 4.2. I understand perfectly well that you are now very glad that your project has taken off, everyone is playing and playing it, but why do not you want to make concessions for other players who also want to try to play your game? Yes, I understand perfectly well that the processor is no longer new, but you can play any new games on it at low - medium settings. Of course, you now have more than 1 million people online and for people like me, you just don’t care, but are we worse than others? I work for 300 dollars a month, do not think that I am a loser, this is above the average salary in my country. In order for me to play your project - I need a new PC, according to my calculations - this is about $ 800 + I have a family, personal frustrations, and so on.
My questions to you, dear EA: Why is it so hard to make support for SSE 4.1? You have no opportunity to do this? I'm sure she is.
Do you consider us second-rate people? I am sure that if there was support for 4.1 in your game, I would quietly play at medium settings with 60 fps and donate a little to your game every month as a thank you. This disrespect for us and shows you how the company is not with the best hand. This problem was with many projects, but the developers listened to the people and made concessions, but I understand you are not like that?
I ask every person who has a processor that supports SSE 4.1, and who reads this topic - support this topic, so that the developers would see that there are actually a lot of us!!!

I agree with the previous person, because in most of the new games our processor copes, why don't you make this support? It is not beautiful of you, gentlemen
fix
INTEL core 2 quad 9400
sse 4.1 supported
please FIX
A simple case study for any Techs browsing this, for science -
My Xeon downstairs comfortably runs all these games at 1080p/High/60fps:
The Witcher 3
Dark Souls 3
GTA V
PUBG
Fear the Wolves
Fortnite
H1Z1
DOOM
Killing Floor 2
Destiny 2
Dishonored 1/2
Deus Ex HR/Mankind Divided
Prey
Final Fantasy XIV and XV
Resident Evil 2 Remake
SPECS -
Intel Xeon X5470 quad at 3.8 GHz.
16GB of relatively fast DDR3 main ram.
RX 580 graphics card w/ 8GB VRAM.
(IMPORTANT) That PC destroys base PS4 and Xbox One in both image quality and performance in every game listed.
It also bests the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X in frame-rate and 90% of the time image quality in all the games listed - running at 1080p.
^ And that's because this old beast of a Xeon desktop/server CPU soundly beats the crap out of the 2012 laptop CPUs used as the basis for every console above. Even the tweaked CPUs in the Pro and X.
The Core 2 Quad equivalent to the X5470 is also a high-clockable, high performing old beast.
Moore's Law slowing down, and all that.
This Xeon is still very, very capable (people have paired them with GTX 1070/1080 at 1440p/60fps)
Overall, this PC is absolutely spec'd to run Apex well.
It's running many 2018-19 games very well as we speak.
Respawn, this is something you can patch. On that PC, I receive the warning:
"CPU does not support POPCNT"
This set can totally be emulated/reverse applied and hard-coded in a patch.
PS: This Intel Xeon X5470 supports these CPU instruction sets:
MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE 4.1, EM64T, VT-x.
Thank you for investigating (and supporting),
