Nope, it would just mean that floating point calculations take longer without the assistance of AVX. And D2R makes heavy use of those. AVX is just a hardware-based Turbo so to speak.

Just stopping in to wish Blizzard to eat sh1t and good riddance. Dead company deserves to fail. New and better ones will take their place

Yea I removed my post for some reason I looked in the wrong place on the page when looking at the spec for his CPU. it does have AVX2.
Wellā¦ I built a new PC for the most part so I could play this 21 year old game (lol). In case anyone was wondering, it loaded immediately for me as soon as I started it on the different processor. Same install of the game on my same HDD.

Again, this is certainly not an AVX issue but an implementation error on Blizzardās and/or Nvidiaās part. I have an older i5-4460 and it does support AVX, yet I get the init error. A potential error could be that the game/driver only support certain processors with AVX/system configurations.

Im still lurking, waiting for a fix. But during Iāve dug out an managed to recreate the right conditions for an old save file of Skyrim with a whole bunch of mods to work without crashing from back in the day. Skyrim really holds up. Even if they make a fix Iām back in a character I spent 100+ hours in and Iām hooked. D2R is just gonna have to wait or just collect dust. Its not the best old game Iāve ever played.
It probably has been mentioned but Iād be a lot happier waiting for a fix if I could just open in legacy mode and get going. My wifeās laptop definitely does not meet minimums but it will open it and I just switch to legacy and it plays fine

Most views, most replies of all time. Still just gonna keep this quiet and sweep it under the rug eh? And they will. The gameās popularity will naturally fall off a cliff after the first month. Thatās what they designed for the server load, itās pretty standard for a game of this size/age/pop Iām sure. I am just sick of being treated like beef cattle. All of our complaining, refunding, coming and going; itās all factored in when they make the decisions. They know what we will tolerate and still come back to play again and again. All Iām saying is we should all take this opportunity to ask ourselves if we want to stay in this one-sided abusive relationship, b/c things are not going to change. Iāve been in it for over 20 years, but theyāre making it easy to walk away now. Good luck to everyone, best wishes.

Yeah ive suggested legacy only mode until fix but no answer yet
Nothing
You dont have avx support
D2R will not run on your System because your CPU does not support AVX you would need to upgrade your Mother Board and CPU to a more Modern Cpu and Motherboard
