    The Crew 2 crashes on launch

    As the tite says it crashes, windows says that error is in "TheCrew2.exe" file.
    I've tried reinstalling, verifying files, launching as administrator but nothing helped.

    The true issue is the cpu is based upon a design that was introduced before 2011 will not work, as the cpu does not have the Advanced Vector eXtensions(AVX)!
    So 1st & most of 2nd Generation Intel I3, I5, I7 and multi-core Xeon processors that were introduced before 2011 do not work!

    AMD CPUs It's the same processors introduced before 2011 will not work!
    AMD CPU's also have SSE 4A which is incompatible Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4.x)
    So Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Phenom X3, Phenom X4, Phenom II X4, Phenom II X6 will not work!

    The only AMD cpus that work are AMD FX, Rizen, Rizen 2

    So I guess that I have been missing the closed alpha 2nd test,the closed beta test,the open beta test and the release of the final game....only cause I guess I have g4560 cpu that is having SSE 4.1 and 4.2 but I guess not having avx it is very important...yet again it seems very stupid cause games should at least open on any cpu and gpu.... I am sad and really lost the hope to this game...since I can't play it for 2nd time when everyone else can....

    I either get a black screen and the monitor goes into sleep, or the game outright crashes after launch. Win 8.1 64 bit, i5 4590, GTX 970, 16 GB ram.

    Crashing on Start up

    I played a few Hours yesterday, tried playing it again later on the same day, and when it launched the game, it would go to a black screen for a second or two then crash back to the desktop, tried today and the same thing, i've got the most up to date Nvidia drivers, also Verified files once yesterday, and today, still can't play, was really looking forward to playing the beta longer then a few hours, these are my specs if it matters.

    i7 4790k
    16 GB Ram
    GTX 1070

    Hello everyone. If you are having crashing issues on launch, please send us your system files on our support page. You can then leave the case number here, and I can take a look.
