Ashes not even starting

Hi guys,

Apologies, for the post but for some reason I cannot even get ashes to shart.  I'm running Windows 10 with a dual core desktop processor.  Checking the FAQ it seems like I need a quad core minimum.  Is this the case? Is there any plan to support dual core processors or have I wasted my money?

Many thanks,

Duncan

It might actually run with a dual core, but a 9600 class GPU is pretty old.
