AVX Issues / Game Launches, then Crashes on Older Processors (CPU)

We cool with you man, you seem nice and keep us informed. Sorry you have to take all the hate that is here, but yet again, you’re the visible face of the company.

This is UNACCEPTABLE. You’re not an indie company or a startup; you’re a company with over 20 years of trajectory, and you’re throwing it all to the garbage can and loosing your community.

You still have no ETA for a solution, even on day 5. Every update is “potentially tomorrow”, “over the weekend”, “a few more days”. This is a joke.

You now claim that “CPUs without AVX are below our minimum spec”, but us who don’t have AVX were able to play Beta just fine. This is a serious declaration: if we check the minimum requirements on Diablo 2 Resurrected page there’s NO indication of AVX as a requirement.

Furthermore, how do you “inadvertently” include AVX? Like some developer said “oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know that if I threw this 1000 lines of code about AVX would make it a requirement for the game”? Stop lying to us.

This is beyond comprehension. My patience is done with you guys, I’m going for a refund & uninstalling Battlenet. My little amount of money refunded will do not much damage to you, but will continue the path that many are doing in this topic.

I’ve been playing Blizzard’s games for over 10 years now, and had a great time with them, but as we all can see, you don’t care for your games or people anymore; so it’s time we go our way too.

I’m not from EEUU, but I hope you face legal actions for this “oopsy”.
