Thank you 
WoW may now be using SSE4 instructions from the processor, which are not present in older amd models such as Athlon 2 and phenom II, and APUs A6, A8 and others. any other current game from blizzard I run without problems with a phenom II quad core, other games with newer graphics engines and full of details works with these processors too, others donât. itâs up to the developer to provide compatibility, I hope blizzard creates a fix.
Two more here.
Computer #1: AMD Phenom II X4 965, 1279MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Computer #2: AMD Phenom II X4 955, 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
I know these are older computers (#1 is getting upgraded this weekend) but weâve had ZERO issues with either computer since BFA started and #2 is regularly at 75+ fps.

Adding my voice to the thread just to be sure. AMD Phenom here as well, hopefully this doesnât have to end on me buying an entirely new laptop.
So much for my hopes for this morningâs maintenance.

I hate this, itâs the same story from Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Agents of Mayhem and other âbig releasesâ, they turn blind on âold and datedâ AMD CPUs and pretend everyone already has a current-gen Ryzen or something like that. Even worse when you can see people using AM3/AM3+ plataforms running game smoother than people with LGA1151âs
I really hope they fix this. Iâm currently on an Athlon II X4 645, itâs old, but at this point iâm not enraged for myself, iâm enraged for people who have significantly better CPUs than mine and canât run the game properly, itâs ALWAYS like this.

Adding myself to the lot. Game runs fine, just missing textures.

Radeon RX 570
Same Issue here. Game running at 60fps with the AMD Phenom II x4 b60 and the GTX MSI GX 1060, but for some reason cant see hair. Well done, blizzard.

Same here - hardly feels worth adding on at this point but yes, AMD Phenom II X4 975 (really maxing out the phenom II at this point, I know) !
This reminds me of the Destiny 2 launch, where the Phenom 2âs worked fine in beta but not after launch. Though here the problem was apparently there before launch. While this has restored my resolve to upgrade, Iâd really rather not, yet?

Gunna be honest. If they cannot fix this, or do not want to fix this. It is a lot more cost effective for me to just find another MMO to play, over paying money I donât have to upgrade my PC

Or upgrade and play something better.
Same. Honestly canât afford upgrading almost all of my pc in Argentina spending basically a fortune.

Apex Legends was worse, community found a fix, but EA didnât let players with the fix enter in the tutorial, matches and etc
I am having this issue as well. Itâs a real bummer. The game runs great otherwise. This is my processor according to dxdiag.

Amen to that Brother
My PC is 8 years old AMD A6-3620. After the patch, everything looks and runs fine, except the character textures. I know I need a new computer, but it just isnât possible right now. I guess after having an uninterrupted sub for 7 years, I will have to take a break. It may sound silly, but itâs just too heartbreaking to see my beautiful bloodelf look like this
