Monster Hunter World on PC won't boot for users with CPUs that lack the FMA3 instructions(Now Fixed)

R.T Straker · Aug 9, 2018

As the titles says, the game's implementation of Denuvo requires fma3 instructions to boot up and basically screwing a potentinal ton of users. MHW already launched on PC on China and there's ton of people reporting this problem.

FMA3 is supported in AMD processors starting with the Piledriver architecture and Intel starting with Haswell processorsand Broadwell processors since 2014.

Thanks Denuvo.

Mod Edit - Fix on the way, though not up in the west yet

I'll give it a week until this Denuvo is cracked. Fuck Denuvo.

TheCongressman · Aug 9, 2018

Welp I can't play this game then.

Mullet2000 · Aug 9, 2018

Thanks Denuvo.

Stop It · Aug 9, 2018

Wait does that mean I can't buy/play this with my i5 2500K Sandy Bridge processor?

This sucks and needs resolving ASAP.

Capcom please

Deleted member 8408 · Aug 9, 2018

I have a 3570k...

Fucks sake.

Deleted member 8106 · Aug 9, 2018

So now there's also a requirement not even for running the game, but for running the DRM attached to it?

Deleted member 2172 · Aug 9, 2018

Wow, almost fucked me over with my 4790k.
That is ridiculous considering its only 4 years old.

Correct, unfortunately.

You can't play.

No.

They need to fix this and I'd reckon they will given no CPUs behind Haswell/Broadwell or Piledriver have this instructions set that Denuvo requires.

texhnolyze · Aug 9, 2018

Wow, seriously?

Mostly negative reviews incoming.

Blizniak · Aug 9, 2018

Resident Evil 7 was the same way at launch and later got patched to fix it.

EDIT: That was for an earlier instruction. My mistake.

The main guy who cracks Denuvo was arrested so it will probably take a lot longer than that.

Looks like it.

.exe · Aug 9, 2018

That's fucked up, and I bet they'll be like 'well, your CPU is below the minimum requirements'.

Derrick01 · Aug 9, 2018

Tfw DRM has higher system requirements than the game itself.

Leandras · Aug 9, 2018

Won't affect me but this is fucked up

RionaaM · Aug 9, 2018

Holy shit, it's surreal when the DRM has higher requirements than the game itself. Fuck Denuvo.

HAHAHAHA what the absolute fuck is this dogshit.

Blizniak said:

No it wasn't, that was for the ancient SSE 4.1 instruction set.

Calibro · Aug 9, 2018

So the game doesn't work on processors older than those listed in the minimum requirements? Wow, a shocker.

Even more of a reason for Capcom to patch this out as soon as possible. What's laughable is that no one thought to mention this to potential buyers, let alone people buying keys who can't get refunds.

Charpunk · Aug 9, 2018

Once again, fuck Denuvo and fuck publishers for forcing this shit on people.

What I find astonishing is the fact some people can actually run the game but not the drm. It's ridiculous.

Mechanized · Aug 9, 2018

Fuck Denuvo~

Wowfunhappy · Aug 9, 2018

Wow. I generally think Denuvo gets more crap than it deserves, but this is unacceptable.

R.T Straker · Aug 9, 2018

texhnolyze said:

With RE7 it was SSSE3 and SSE4.1 which is mostly lacking on AMD Phenoms.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5smqy2/new_pc_patch_for_resident_evil_7_adds_support_for/

Also the culprit of Denuvo since many games using it also ran into the same issues but they got quickly fixed like MGSV or Dishonored 2.

Uiki · Aug 9, 2018

Then why the fuck is the i7 3770k the recommended cpu?

GhostTrick · Aug 9, 2018

Lol. ffs that even counts Intel i5/i7 3xxx series.

Uiki said:

This is indeed a BIG problem considering it's in the recommended specs.

That was the game that needed the SSE 4 instructionset. Game worked fine except for ome part in the beginning.

It says minimum (for Intel) is a CPU from Haswell so not really?

Edit: I PLUCKED UP GUYS

Actually, the game doesn't run on the recommended rig they posted on steam

Then it says recommended CPU is before Haswell

KainXVIII · Aug 9, 2018

I wonder if WBacon can somehow comment on this?..

Joshbob1985 · Aug 9, 2018

I don't really understand. I have an i5 4570 and was about to buy the game in the next couple of hours.

Should I not?

But can it run Denuvo?

itchi · Aug 9, 2018

2500k and I can still run 2018 games at 60fps and I'm being forced to upgrade for some DRM? fuck that

MrFortyFive · Aug 9, 2018

Welp I guess I can't play this on a PC then. Thanks Capcom and Denuvo <3

Deleted member 42 · Aug 9, 2018

Akronis · Aug 9, 2018

6 month delay, no additional PC features, no content updates at launch, and now this.

Get your shit together Capcom, what the fuck are you even doing.

Vena · Aug 9, 2018

lol this means their own recommended specs don't work

Braquiador · Aug 9, 2018

Oh fuck. I have an i7-4770, does this mean i won't be able to play it?

Uiki · Aug 9, 2018

Steven: I'm playing on my i5-3570k, GTX 970, and 16GB RAM using the 'high' preset at 1080p and am very happy with the performance so far.

That's from the pcgamer article https://www.pcgamer.com/monster-hunter-world-pc-system-requirements/

Is this something the rushed in at the last minute?

s_mirage · Aug 9, 2018

Hmm, maybe I was wrong about Yakuza's boot issues not being caused by missing instructions. Seriously, what kind of shit is this that people are being blocked from playing games they should be capable of because of crappy DRM.

Dick Justice · Aug 9, 2018

B-but Denuvo has no impact on how a game runs! The corporate ball-washers told me so themselves!
