    For honor Driver issues. Worked in beta and first week. No longer works

    So I have been playing for honor since the closed beta on my pc just fine. Then a Small patch comes out a week after the game comes out and i get an error stating that the drivers arent supported anymore. Here is my system info.

    At first i thought it was my GPU having problem's then i believe i learned that it is my Processor that is having problems. Im not 100% sure which one it is but the processor is to old to get ver 15.0 or the min req for Me to play For Honor. Ive talked to 2 different people in the support chats but have been in the queue 3 times trying to get this resolved. But the support staff have been no help. here is a chat from one of the times i have been in the chat's.

    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 8:47:04 PM): what was the last instruction used to fix the problem
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:47:37 PM): he asked if i can disable my graphic's card

    Me (2/28/2017, 8:49:10 PM): alright you want me to disable which card?
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:49:15 PM): and then start it
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 8:49:23 PM): graphic card
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:52:30 PM): i tried it on both and they both said graphics card does not meet the minimum req or there was a error during start. Error: No Compatible Graphics adapter found
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:53:38 PM): crazy idea
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:53:54 PM): could this be a problem with my proceesor
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 8:55:08 PM): is there a error code?
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:55:24 PM): i mean the i7 drivers are old
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:55:28 PM): well
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:55:33 PM): the processor is old
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:55:38 PM): and i cant get new drivers
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 8:57:28 PM): well that could be very likely, by our products are updated with versions for updates system and processors, if your processors are outdates that could be a problem
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:58:34 PM): the bad part though is my processor is so old the max driver version that it can download is 9.17.10 which is what the error code is displaying on the startup error
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:58:40 PM): but
    Me (2/28/2017, 8:59:26 PM): you cna download 15.0 for newer version's of i7 processor's and 15.0 is the minimum ver that for honor supports driver wise
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 9:01:17 PM): once you have obtained a newer processor then it will work more efficiently
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:02:11 PM): hold on
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:02:20 PM): one thing i have to say'
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:02:31 PM): it was working just fine the week the game launched
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:02:42 PM): so why did this get implemented now?
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:03:05 PM): like this error started a week ago after a smaller patch
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:03:39 PM): why put the gate on a week after the game came out. when people had already spent money on the game
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:06:34 PM): do you have any clue as to why?
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 9:08:03 PM): I'm looking for answers
    Me (2/28/2017, 9:08:08 PM): ok
    Kelvin W (2/28/2017, 9:18:11 PM): if the graphics card doesn't meet the min requrements it should be recommended that you upgrade your graphics card or try to play the game on a PC that meets the requirements


    That ending in all honesty made me salty. I have the min req but the drivers cant be updated.I played the game on low settings at 60 Fps. I love playing for honor Ive purchased micro transactions and have already invested over 250 hrs in the game across pc and ps4. But to no avail as this problem been fixed. Ive tried trouble shooting. Ive tried emailing for help, chat support for help. But as you can tell ive received no help. They tried ill give them that but it didnt help. So now i turn to the forum's if anyone out there can help please do so. I just want to play one of my most favorite games. Thank you.
