Some are unable to play Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC due to the F16C problem message. You are not alone. This error message shows when there is an instruction set that your CPU cannot support. This guide will help you identify and look into potential solutions (or workarounds) for the F16C problem.
Your CPU does not support F16C, as indicated by the error “This game requires a CPU that supports F16C instructions” on your system.
What is F16C Error in Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut PC
It simply means that your PC’s CPU doesn’t have the necessary F16C instruction set support. Data processing can be done more effectively with the help of the F16C instruction set. Sadly, this error cannot be fixed by any sort of magic software. It’s also possible that your system does not meet the minimal requirements to run Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut.
Potential Solutions
Since the issue lies with your CPU’s capabilities, the solutions are limited:
- Examine CPU Specifications: Use CPU-Z or the system information settings on your PC to determine the model of your CPU. Check online to see if the CPU model you own supports F16C.
- Delete PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller App File: Windows Settings> Apps & Features> Playstation PC SDK> Delete PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.
- CPU Upgrade (Not ideal but what you probably need): If your present CPU does not support F16C, your other option is to upgrade to a newer model. F16C error only affects PCs made in 2011 and below. Buying a new unit is the easiest option to solve this issue and you will be able to run other desired games too. If you’re on a budget but still want to enjoy smooth gaming with decent graphics, I suggest you look for PCs with the following Specs:
- Intel Core i5-8600 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT
- 16GB RAM
- Look for Alternatives by Contacting Support: If getting a new PC isn’t an option, think about contacting PC support to find out when patches will be released or look into games that fit the specs of your computer.
Important Notes:
- Avoid modifying game files. Some of these methods may corrupt game files or violate terms of service.
- If you recently purchased the game and your PC meets the listed minimum requirements (excluding F16C), you might be eligible for a refund depending on the platform’s policy.
We get how frustrating it can be to run into this problem. Even while there might not be a simple solution, this tutorial gives you what you need to troubleshoot the problem and consider other possibilities.
