The Diablo 2: Resurrected development team thinks it has a potential fix for the boot issue

Diablo 2: Resurrected has launched, offering players the chance to relive the classic hack-and-slasher. But why recreate the experience of one Diablo game when you could recreate the experience of two? Resurrected is also experiencing a bunch of launch issues related to its online mode, just like Diablo 3 before it.

Unfortunately, as is often the case with the releases of highly anticipated popular games, the launch of a game often doesn’t go as smoothly as developers would like for it to go.

And that’s especially the case with games that are relying on servers to work as they should amidst a huge influx of players trying to get into the game.Asides from server issues and problems with the game crashing, a number of players simply can not even start the game.

The minimum supported CPU in the Diablo 2: Resurrected system requirements is listed as an Intel Core i3-3250 or AMD FX-4350, both of which support the AVX instruction set. Naturally, some players on lower-end hardware decided to take a run at it anyway, which really isn’t unreasonable given that the remastered game uses the same “underlying game engine” from 20 years ago. And it worked—for a while.

Blizzard said in a thread on their Diablo 2: Ressurected forum: “We wanted to provide an update on the Advanced Vector Extension (AVX) items from the dev team after some further developments from this past weekend. The team believes they have a potential fix, but this goes beyond just AVX specifically. The fix could potentially affect all users, even those outside of not having AVX support, so we are wanting to make sure we do proper testing.”

The testing is expected to take a few days—Blizzard will update the thread when it has more information.
