    Phenom II Support THIS TIME???

    Ok so for Origins there was no SSE 4.1 support, sadly Ubisoft being the only publisher to not fix this error unlike ( Bethesda with DOOM, Square Enix with FFXV, Dishonored 2, and plenty of others that were patched to support SSE 4.1 and Phenom CPU ) we were not able to play the game we purchased.

    Is this time different? Can we buy Odyssey and play it on our Phenom CPU's which are more than capable?

    Hey MMaRsu. The system requirements can be found here. Please note phenom processors are not supported.

    Wow such a horrible company. The BIGGEST thread on the Assassins Creed Origins Support was for Phenom II support. Instead of providing a solution to PC players with this CPU, clamoring to play the new game.. Noone on the AC team even looked at the support forum? Noone said wow look at how many people are complaining about this? Maybe we should make sure we fix our mistake for AC Odyssey? So many of the Assassins Creed fans want to play these games on their more than capable hardware.

    Can you explain why this hardware is not supported? Does it have to do with the actual GAME or is it another case of the Denuvo DRM impacting the hardware requirements for this game?

    How is it that every other publisher has no problem releasing games on PC with Phenom II support? Look at Monster Hunter World? Dragon Quest 11?? These NEW games work without a doubt and without any problems on a Phenom II cpu.

    Please specify why this CPU is not supported?

    @MMaRsu Phenom II is really old hardware let alone the CPU power it have. Its from 2008 you cant be expecting game company to run that old of hardware. No new AAA is going to be work on that CPU socket.

    @aT1C actually ALL new games run fine on this CPU. Monster Hunter World and Dragon Quest XI being the latest examples. I have zero issues running these AAA games.

    There actually aren't that many games that don't run on this CPU. The most that don't run are from Ubisoft. See Far Cry 5, Assassins Creed Origins.

    Also, don't defend this **** man. This CPU is more than capable to run the latest games. In performance it even goes toe to toe with the FX line ( which tells you how much the FX line sucks ).

    Also, the CPU I have is the Phenom II 1090T Black Edition which was released in 2010, not 2008.

    And it outperforms PS4 and Xbone in ANY game I throw at it.

    So tell me why it's not possible for this CPU to run this game? If I can get better performance in EVERY TITLE compared to it's PS4 counterpart?

    I'm looking at GTAV, DOOM, HITMAN, Dragon Quest XI, Monster Hunter World...

    And Shadow of the Tomb Raider also has no issue running on a Phenom CPU.

    There is nothing wrong with this CPU, WHY does Ubisoft continue to ignore people asking to support this?
