Bungie and Vicarious Visions have released the first patch for Destiny 2. According to the companies, this patch removes the SSSE3 CPU requirement that was present in the game.
This basically means that owners of non-SSSE3-enabled CPUs will be able to play the game. Some of these CPUs are AMD’s Phenom II.
Do note that you should NOT use any third-party tools in order to work around this issue. According to Bungie’s PC Project Lead, third-party tools like the Intel SDE will get you banned. So yeah, avoid them at all costs.
Yes, you WILL get banned using Intel SDE to manipulate D2PC. There is a fix coming for PhenomII users.

We don’t know whether this first patch for Destiny 2 fixes any other issues as Bungie has not revealed any changelog yet.
The team is also investigating reports of performance drops and hitches after playing for extended periods of time. In other words, memory leaks. If you experience such issues, you can temporarily resolve them by closing and relaunching Destiny 2.
The Blizzard app will auto-downloaded this first patch for Destiny 2 the next time you start the client!

I love how this game is optimized on PC, but I hate the third-party tool prohibition.
but cheaters..in PVP is real problem bro 🙂
Personally I think it is more about pouncing on modders, which are the real threat to their now $96 Billion, industry value tripling, microtransaction/loot gold mine.
Publishers never gave 2 sh*ts about us dealing with cheaters in the past.
Like… I understand, but it doesn’t make me hate it less.
Would love to play it but im still banned from way back in the beta
i pity the cucks who buy this medicore game
because they feed an evil industry, an industry that set precedent via sales records
so other AAA turds follow their suit and drag down the industry further and further to the abyss
these cuckstomers have no idea what damage they’re doing by supporting this game
Why u in the comment section on an article about this mediocre game?
Because it is necessary to bring balance to the Force.
LOLOL xD
I loved my 1090T. Going to build a PC from scraps with it soon to replace my parents old Pentium 4 lol
