I'm curious about something. would the SSSE3 issue allow the program to start up in the first place? I came across the problem with another game that wouldn't even start up. no load screen or anything because it was SSE4.1. whereas with D2, it allows us to start up, create characters and watch the first cutscene. would the system THEN check for SSSE3 after all of that has happened or would it check on startup?? I had no problem during beta running the game and I would think they had the SSSE3 integrated then. but then I don't know, just a gamer not a programmer.
