Is Destiny 2 still broken on Ryzen 3000 series?

If Destiny 2 isn't fixed in 4 weeks from now I'm going to have to flog my AMD stuff and jump onto Intel, possibly 9900K.
 
Go ahead spend upwards of £700 to play a A game lol. FYI a 9900k is overkill for destiny 2, it can get by on a dual core 4 thread.

I'll sell my current kit and buy new kit = minimum outlay. It's my fav game it's truley a pee take they can't get a fix out.
 
Well it's not just one game really. From what I understand, the 3000 series aren't implementing a random number generator instruction properly - an instruction that seems to have been part of X86 for sometime?

Search for 'rdrand' and you will see what I mean. Also, it causes some Linux kernels issues. Whilst Destiny 2 might be the game not working now, who is to say other games won't work?
 
As long as they can fix it in a reasonable time frame, I don't mind too much. How many time have CPU redesigns come out and there have been errata? Virtually always, and much as its not great, I'd rather a fixable bug, than some of the security nightmares and the performance penalties the fixes have caused in Intel in recent years. No joke, but my laptop genuinely feels a bit slower than it used to, but disabling the fixes isn't really a good way forward.
As they already released a fix, and just pulled for bug issues, I can't imagine it'll be long before the new stuff comes out; this is just part of the joys of new platform (because Zen 2 is fundamentally a major tweak in many ways, and not just a minor revision like we regularly see from Intel).

It may be able to "get by" on a dual core but if you are playing on a 1080P high refresh rate monitor a dual core will not be enough and the experience won't be a good one, Especially if you run Discord and Firefox in the background.

Yeah so I was curious...

Tested out D2 on my "backup" machine comprising of a 3960X @ 4ghz running with only 2c/4t and a HD7990 at 1080p max in game settings.

With 6c/12t enabled the normal framerate is in the mid 50's when loading into the dreaming city.

2c/4t showed 100% CPU utilisation and framerate that jumped from 20-30fps... in other words completely unplayable.


Even accounting for higher IPC on a more modern 2c/4t processor, the framerate would barely be better.
