AMD has only just released its Ryzen 3000 processors, which are sure to be popular with gamers, but there's a problem: these new CPUs won't run Destiny 2. As Tom's Hardware reports, anyone picking up a Ryzen 3000 chip for use in their gaming rig is getting a nasty surprise if and when they try and load Destiny 2. Reddit user Trinsikk explained the problem when attempting to load the the Bungie title via Battle.net. The game simply doesn't start, but shows up in the Windows Task Manager as an active process using no more than 10 percent of the available CPU.
 
Update: AMD has uncovered the problem, according to Destiny's developer Bungie. However, the fix will be arriving as a BIOS update through motherboard providers. Expect it to arrive in the coming days. Affected customers should check for any automatic driver updates or go to their motherboard provider's website.

    A bios update fix is problematic, because we all know not all mobos will be bios updated, especially older ones. Sounds like a DRM issue that they're attempting to address via bios patch (which doesn't sound smart at all to me).
