Systems with an AMD Phenom II processor cannot run Destiny 2, because it implements SSSE3 instructions, which are incompatible with these processors.

Officially, the title Destiny 2 for the computer has arrived and a curious phenomenon has occurred at the time of launch and that is that users with equipment with a certain time, who mount AMD Phenom II processors, cannot enjoy this game, because the game hangs nonstop. The game stands out for its great optimization for the computer and of course, this hanging with a specific family of processors is not common and there are many complaints from users.

'When I start the game, I select my character and log in, it takes me to a black loading screen. The symbol in the corner changes shape once and then freezes. A window appears saying that the game has stopped working. I can't play the game at the moment, 'says Reddit user “majicm9”.

Bungie knows that this type of advertising is a problem and has come out quickly to say that the incompatibility is due to this family of processors not being compatible with the Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) instructions. The developer has made it clear that: 'Destiny 2 cannot be run on processors that do not integrate support for said instruction'. The conspiracy seems to be greater, since there are videos of the Beta of the game, moved with a Phenom II without major problems, therefore, something is escaping us in all this, possibly, that in the Beta these instructions were not executed, because the beta was limited. Now, those who want to play Destiny 2 have to change the processor or they will not be able to play.

From the official statement it is extracted: 'We have seen a number of reports of CPU failures that fall below our established minimum specifications (for example the AMD Phenom II)' 'We are investigating the problem and will try to fix the problem, but these CPUs are below minimum specs and are not officially supported '
