GH3 doesn`t work on Athlon XP processor

[Joe Forster/STA]

Do you understand that the Athlon XP is an older CPU than the Athlon x64?

Yes, I understand, but even games like Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Gears of War which requires more powerful processor works for me fine. Well, all I can do is wait for fix or patch...

One of the hits on Google says the reason for the high system requirements is that it's a port from the console version rather than written specifically for the PC.

So it means I must change processor and, whats worse, motherboard. Maybe Aspyr will published a patch for it just like one of the polish developers (Metropolis Software I think) do with one of their game. So, Athlons XP does not support SSE2 module and this is the main problem, so games like Lost Planet or DiRT won`t run also. But, as I said, its not a huge problem, and Aspyr can resolved it in few days, but I don`t think they`ll do that.

I wouldnt hold my breath, the XP processors dont include instruction sets that the game requires to run. So I doubt the developer will try and rewrite the game just to include old out of date XP chips.
