Just want to reiterate that you shouldn't feel the need to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading your computer in order to fix the problem Square-Enix caused. They put out a benchmark that they said would indicate how well our computers would run Endwalker. If your computer could run the benchmark, you SHOULD have been able to run the game. This is Square-Enix's fault, not your computer's. This is of course not to mention the fact that this is happening on both AMD and Intel CPUs, both old and new, so there is no guarantee that installing a new CPU would even fix the problem. Please save your money, unless you were wanting to upgrade your CPU anyway.
