BYOND Version:514

Applies to:BYOND client
Status: Not a bug
This is not a bug. It may be an incorrect use of syntax or a limitation in the software. For further discussion on the matter, please consult the BYOND forums.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When attempting to run BYOND, error "byond.exe - The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application." shows. Event Viewer gives the same information, verbatim.
I assume this has to do with the fact that I'm trying to run BYOND on a Pentium, but I have no idea why exactly that would be.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Acquire Pentium 3
2. Install and attempt to run byond.exe

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
N/A

Expected Results:
BYOND to run

Actual Results:
BYOND does not run

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Every time.

When does the problem NOT occur?
When I don't try to open BYOND, I suppose!

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Tested on the earliest version of 514 available, same problem occurs.

Workarounds:
None, currently.

BYOND compiles with some SSE2 support, although it doesn't put those instructions to nearly the use that it could or should. But Pentium 3s are so old there's no point in supporting them anymore. Windows XP support is going to go away as well.
