Please add support for CPU's that can't run AVX2

[Pob*]

I was hoping that once the proper early access version was released I would be able to play with my i7 3770k but I still cannot.
I can play Starfield so why not this mobile game....?

it feels ridiculous that my computer kingdom hearts 3 at a reasonable performance but refuses to even launch SKY of all things

That CPU is 12 years old. Let's be realistic here, you're kinda overdue for an update

You need to upgrade. They probably cant add support for older cpu's without rebuilding the source code or something.

This.

My PC is old but it's definitely not weaker than Nintendo Switch or my lower-end Android phone which runs Sky fine.

Also, Journey port required AVX instructions on launch too, but after players complained this requirement was patched out soon after release. So apparently the game didn't really need them.
And no way a port of a mobile game actually needs AVX instructions to work, especially considering that ARM CPUs don't have them in the first place.

I wouldn't call AVX2 (256 bits instruction) a "newer" technology, it's a decade old. The "newer" (almost outdated) is AVX512 (512 bits instruction), and the newest are APX instructions. They are actually still lacking behind ARM (your phone's processor) SVE/SVE2 technology that supports 2048 bits instruction.

Plus, Sky is originally made for iOS, which are using the ARM processors as well. So it's originally made to process larger bits than the old 64bit on Intel CPU.

By the way, Switch uses ARM as well. PS4 comes with ARM processor as well. So most platform this game is at are already running on higher bits instruction sets.

Hello, I figured out as I have the same CPU, well I am sorry to tell you that AVX2 is not supported by I7-3770 CPU`s...
This I figured out after doing a lot of research and trying to enable UEFI Boot etc. Well it`s another program that is called HWiNFO which you also can download to see this, that it`s simply not possible with this CPU.

the most silly part here is that it lists FX 8310 as minimum requirements CPU, but it also does not support AVX2. i got an FX 8320E myself. this is stupid, come on now, uncheck that compiler flag, will you?
