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 that it does not support sse 4.2 instruction. I'm already looking for solutions from the moment of release, but there are absolutely no solutions for my processor.I know that you answered that you will not solve the same error on old AMD processors. I want to ask a question to developers, is there a patch fix for Intel processors that support SSE 4.1, but do not support 4.2? I know my processor is quite old, but still on it I can still play new items, despite its age. And I also know that the same problem was in other games, but there the developers fixed this problem for fans of their game during the week. I would like to know at least some answer from you, thank you.

    I get 90+ FPS in game, with said out of date processor. This can all be fixed with a patch.

  • патч с делали теперь хоть ошибку выдает мол проц авно и я не поиграю ( печаль
  • Thank you for the answer. People have wasted money on their computers and they would most likely be glad to play your game, but instead you are ignoring and moving on. We have the minimum requirements, now let us play the game.

    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),

  • Simple fix.....just dont play the game at all cause ea will never listen just like how they put a * ton of microtransactions in games that people pay around $50 to $60 us for which makes no sence i would have understood if the game is free and there is microtransactions.....overall what i am just trying to say they sont care.
