AMD Addresses "Destiny 2" Bugs on Ryzen 3000 with a Chipset Driver Update

[btarunr]

AMD fixed a bug that caused "Destiny 2" to be unplayable on 3rd generation Ryzen processors, through updated chipset drivers. The company had, earlier this month, released an update to its processor microcode with the AGESA ComboAM4 1.0.0.3ABA update (not to be confused with 1.0.0.3AB), before pulling it for causing other bugs. Ahead of its publication on AMD website, Robert Hallock, the company's technical marketing head for processors, posted a Google Drive link to the driver's installer. It bears the version number v1.07.26.0551, and is marked beta. Hallock comments that this is a "workaround" to help "get you into the game." It looks like a more permanent solution to the bug still lies in updating the microcode, once AMD figures out what went wrong with 1.0.0.3ABA.

Was it really performing that bad? I think I saw Destiny 2 played on a Ryzen 3000 series and the FPS were lower than Intel's but it was not considered unplayable unless I missed something here.

It wouldn't launch at all, framerate was not an issue

Well I must have missed something here

according to Reddit , Destiny is the only game that use RDRAND instruction.This is an AMD bug , only Ryzen 3000

Now this makes more sense than "microcode"...

I must say, I’m surprised something like this even occurred. Has there been any examples in recent history where a new CPU line broke a relatively modern game, or even just a program? I know new GPUs can sometimes do this, but I can’t recall ever hearing about a CPU doing so because they typically handle backward compatibility so well.

Welcome to another episode of "Problems faced by a early adoptor"...
But this one is most bizzare issue of them all..i wonder if old games will run on this CPU...
