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

guys you gotta take this to the stock forums and blast this company. Hit their wallet.

the reason blizzard took off was because the games they made ran on a broad spectrum of computers, people could play with friends like diablo, now that its activision owned its about pushing out as much crap as fast as you can, yeah blizzard wasnt perfect, but i always talked highly of them

I wonder how much communication is really happening between community managers and developers. The ticket I have submitted are consistent with early statements that AVX is not a requirement, that this is infact an error of their own that is being resolved. Todays post directly contradicts this and earlier posts.

I really really really was looking forward to playing. I was hoping for a fix sooner. I have requested a refund until the game is fixed. Super sadge. To lose out on peak d2r release hype is lackluster bleh

There is no doubt this is a serious f up but have they came out and said so much? No. Just blaming the people who purchased saying they are below minimum spec. Alot of respect lostā€¦

how do submit for refund? i preored like while back. Can I get my money back ?

Even better, minimum CPU they list for intel is IntelĀ® Core i3-3250, launched Q2 2013. So is that anything after that processor is supported? G6600 released Q2 2020 doesnā€™t support AVX but would seem to meet their minimum specs.

Guess they should start listing instruction sets instead of arbitrary CPUs like a bunch of dinguses.

Wow, I am so glad they are taking such good care of us with their broken game. It looks like they can spend the entire day doing speed runs, when in reality they need to fix their broken game.

Stop posting on THEIR forums. Make it known on social media.

These two statements are colliding, just good ol classic Blizzard f**ckery at work, donā€™t BS your customers, just be honest and donā€™t sell misleading products that work fine pre launch.
ā€œWhile CPUs without AVX are below our minimum specā€
Vs
ā€œAVX support was not supposed to be a requirement for the game, so if the engine is requiring it, thatā€™s unexpected behavior.ā€
Sort it out.

This update make no sense. They are saying itā€™s minimum requirements but then go onto say it was inadvertently put it. It canā€™t be both. If it was inadvertently put in why is it a requirement? Refund requested, this is nonsense.

Not me with a bit higher specs than the recommended requirements to play Diablo 2, just for blizzard to blame us for having lower CPUā€™s with no avx :upside_down_face:

you are asking for way to much, they plan on giving the run around for as long as it takes, it was we need a few more days to fix now its we need a few more days to fix, why donā€™t they stop lying and just tell us they screwed us over? because they enjoy doing what they do and they enjoy silencing anyone who calls them out on it.

Are they implying newer processors canā€™t handle the lack of AVX? Because beta didnā€™t have it, and nobody had these issues.

Iā€™m not understanding the hesitancy to fix this.

We already know the results of disabling it, you had 2 betas of test results, why do you need more? It works fine without it. What ā€œoptimizationsā€ do people with brand new cpus need when our 12 year old ones dominate this game already?
