Hello everybody,
This has probably been asked multiple times, but I searched a lot and just found outdated solutions for my (and probably many others) problem.
My problem is that with the new installer for Oculus Home, you now require a processor with the Streaming SIMD Extension 4.2.
When I tried searching earlier, I came around a nice fix (a hacked installer so that it would let the setup think that you had an processor with SSE 4.2) but even that still din't work (I'll link it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/8fyv0h/oculus_software_install_without_a_cpu_that/Maybe it's just my computer that won't let me install Oculus, or maybe it really is outdated.
If it is outdated, I would be really thankfull for any solution to this.
Thanks in advance,
LDB

I would hold out till the new Ryzen 3ks but might need an update sir.
So, I can maybe explain what's happening (though not really provide a solution). It's true that SSE 4.2 instructions are not needed. However, the software does need the Nehalem architecture (or newer) and checking for SSE 4.2 is one of the easier ways for finding those chips. In addition, any CPUs without SSE 4.2 are likely from 8 years ago (or older) and probably would not performance very well anyhow.
Thanks for you're help guys! Really appreciated
