Will this also need AVX instruction on your processor?

I'm contemplating on buying this pre-purchase, but if I can't play since my current processor does not support AVX, I may have to pass on this one. Anyone knows if this needs one? Thanks in advance.^^

If you mean with AVX Advanced Vector Extensions, then you will not need it necessarily for gaming . AVX is a nice to have to speed up certain floating point operations, but is not a must have. AVX will primarily impact media transcoding and is mostly used on it.

tl;dr: You can play it, provided your CPU has enough power to handle it. But it will not fail at AVX

As much as I'm looking forward to this game, I wouldn't pre-ordrer it right now if you don't have an AVX-capable processor.

Like I had posted before, the processor in the minimum spec has the ability to use the AVX instruction set. With that, and people saying that it runs on the same engine as God Eater 3 - which had a hard AVX requirement for two months four weeks (I had the timeframe wrong) after release - it's safe to assume that this will have a similar problem.

That being said, I'd love to be proven wrong on release day and be able to play.

@LpRedtox I was actually about to buy GE3 before but was scared off by it needing AVX back then. I'm saving up to buy a new processor too but spent it on irl emergency.T T Yeah, I saw this one budget gamer run RE2remake on a Pentium pretty smoothly, but I think that game's much more optimized even for some potato.

@Cosmonaut Hmm, I was thinking the same. I hoped after the issue with GE3 having complications with non-AVX compliant processors, they would've changed things with Code:Vein. I guess I'd really just have to wait on release and/or save double for both game and proc.

Thank you both for replying.🤗

i think the GE3 dev already patched that problem right?

Yes they did. Also I kept saying it took them two months to patch it, and I was wrong. It was only four weeks.

I'm really hoping that it does release playable on my ancient processor, but I'm holding off on the pre-order. If anyone does buy this with a non-AVX processor and can play it come launch, I'd be super happy to be wrong about this.

@erobotan Yeah, but I'm getting more interested with Code:Vein now so I'm saving up again for it, GE3 will have to wait.^^

@Cosmonaut I am so with you bruh, I'll be praying hard.^^b
