Sadly yet another game that don't work with Bulldozer.. - Page 4

Sorry that there are those that were having trouble - turns out my problems were fixed by the age-old 'verify game cache' within steam, and updating the BIOS on my Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 to the latest bios, looks like a beta version, called "F6f" that I downloaded from their website directly, extracted the executable, and updated through the "@BIOS" program that shipped with the mainboard.

For what it's worth, I've had absolutely no compatibility issues with my 8120, and I'll continue to support AMD and ATI.

It's a competitive CPU for the price point, beats the i5-2500K in some, loses in others, the reverse of course is the i5-2500K loses in some, wins in others, and overall I'd say I spent less than a comparative i5-2500K by between $50-$90 depending on the components.

It's certainly better for me than the 1090T I replaced it with within Windows and all other applications I use.

Without competition, Intel would return to its anti-competitive ways and predatory pricing as we saw in the early 80s.

Flame on

Remember; verify local game cache, update BIOS. Worked for me. Not sure if the BIOS did the trick or if the verify game cache did it - I had two damaged files which steam automatically replaced. After that, the game started fine. On my FX-8120 with an Nvidia 250

I don't have a bulldozer processor i have a phenom x6. But on my ASUS board i have the ability to shutdown cores or merge cores together. make 6 into 3 or just have 2 cores or whatever your heart desires. Generally when i run into an issue i just move my processor down to a quad or dual core and all issues go away. I mainly have to do this for old windows 95 games that i still play that are very picky

Im an AMD fan. Have been since the athlon series of processors. But I dislike the new ATI/AMD merger. Thus why my board runs AMD with Nvidia FTW.

Anyway off that side rant. Just a thought i had after skimming through this thread. See if you can modify how many cores are on and see if that helps.

Nvidia + Intel ever since and always happy. ^______^

Dind't those K5's melted if they got to warm because they didnt reset at a set temp, or was that an other CPU?
