New: the game and the launcher now start on older processors without AVX2
-
The game and the launcher now work on processors without AVX2, such as Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge (Core i7-2600, i7-3770K and similar). Before, they closed at once when started.
-
You do not need to choose anything. Start the game or the launcher as usual: the game checks your processor and picks the right version by itself. Newer processors still use the fast version, nothing changes for them.
-
The game folder is now about 60 MB bigger, because it holds both versions. The file uc.exe is now a tiny starter, and the game itself runs as uc_avx2.exe or uc_compat.exe. Please keep all three files.
-
Your firewall may ask once for permission again when you play over the network, because the game now runs under a new file name.
-
Network games between a new processor and an old one work together.
Fixes
- The launcher and the game no longer close right after start on processors without AVX2 (issue 17).
Known limits
-
The version for older processors has not been tested on a real processor without AVX2 yet. If it still does not start, please write to us with your processor name.
-
On older processors the game can run slower than on new ones, and some busy scenes may be less smooth.
