What is the problem here?
AVX is a 10 year old instruction set released with 2nd gen Intel Core CPUs.
D2R needs a 3rd gen i3 as a minimum, you can do the math from here…
I bet people who have processor below that can run this just fine. Anyways refunded, uninstalled battlenet. I’m sure blizzard has the same attitude as you… they don’t want my money. I guess I’ll go play assassin creed Valhalla since it runs totally fine on my rig which cant run dialbo 2 because of reasons.

AC: Valhalla has higher minimum system requirements than D2:R, so if you don’t match D2:R’s obviously you don’t match AC: Valhalla’s.
You can try your shot and maybe succeed running a software below the minimum requirements but you are on your own in that case and outside warranty.
Outside of warranty ? lol ! You know why Valhalla works ? Because it doesn’t require avx. What is really funny is my Nintendo can run diablo 2 resurrected worse then my pc but its not supported on my pc. Even still it seems blizzard plans to make it work for my computer eventually so I may try it again in the future. Do you think Blizzard is ok selling me their software knowing I’m going to use it on an unsupported config ? Do you think the share holders care if my rig is supported ? If blizzard doesn’t want my money why are they talking about patching out avx requirement because there is no non avx processor that meets the min req.

For example. I have xeon lga 1366 and no problem with perfprmance… must i buy new HW?

Yes, lga 1366 is ancient.
You should have upgraded at least 5 years ago.
Just ignore this guy.
Several posts from people with game problem crashing randomly with good hardware.

Crashing has nothing to do with the fact that some people are trying to run the game on a dated system outside minimum requirements.
I have an i9 9900KS and I had crashes every day too.

Apparently it does.
So much so that I was running around crashing a few times when using a TP or saving the game or other random crashes reported by other people with minimal hardware.
And my pc has an intel hd graphics 620.
However I have an I7-7500U, 16GB ram and just SSD
And after yesterday’s update I can’t access any characters online.
In short, they screwed up.

This topic and the conversation was about AVX and older CPUs.
Without AVX the game doesn’t even run. That’s why they are two different things.
bruh it DID work in the beta and they themselves literally said that AVX is not necessary for running the game. The Age of Empires IV beta has the AVX requirement, it kicks you out of the game and tells you it is needed to run it, no issue there for me but adding it AFTER the beta and then scrambling to fix it afterwards is something a bit different

I absoluetly get your point, they messed up this release on many levels.
My point is AVX is a 10 year old instruction set and if your CPU doesn’t support it, then it’s seriously outdated.
Maybe enough for you, but you can’t expect an iPhone 3s to work with the latest apps which is more or less from the same era as pre-AVX CPUs.
Hi bro,
I have a LGA1366 pc with dual Xeon which offers enough performance and I have played D2R very well in beta, so it is very disappointed for me to face crashes again and again only because they added the avx as MUST HAVE.

Not having AVX does not mean you have an outdated CPU.
Intel® Pentium® Gold-Processor G6600 (launched 2020) does not support AVX, just as an example.

The point here is having a hidden requirement that is not declared. The min spec page and recommended doesn’t say anything about CPU extension support. Would have saved me over 100$ since other games did the same garbage of adding this requirement silently. On top of it not being a requirement. AVX won’t make or break performance/stability of D2R.

They scare about us cuz we ar old players and we ar profi.Old palyers ,old computers:P
PS:Why dont say when we buy game…if have old computers dont buy cuz D2 R dont work?
