If you have the A-10C, BS2, or FC3, you need to deactivate them prior to changing the processor and reactivate afterwards.

Rudel_chw Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Yep have those and a slew of other modules. Those three are the only remaining modules that use the old copy-protection, all the rest use the new keyless protection.

Eldur Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 You should try considering to OC your CPU to ~4.4GHz. Did wonders to my fps, having a 3570K. You'll probably need a decent cooler though.
