Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Slow Forum Performance

Hush y'all! Hush! Heed the warnings of jinxes!

Ok how do I reverse jinx?
The forum shall return to slowness any second now.

They never learn huh?

OH GOD IT'S BACK

THE VILLAIN IN THE DARK

Back with vengeance.

The last of the Lhaagspawn died, and Lhaag was reborn a God.

I'm seeing ancient threads getting necroed by what look like ad bots, sigh. So forums are probably getting hammered by bad actors, making lie for the rest of us miserable. And unless Larian devote real resources to mitigation, this will be a problem for the foreseeable future. Sad-face.

Forum's hot and it's cold
It's fast and it's slow
I'm in and I'm out
Server's up and it's down

It's crazy. Half the time I can't quote someone's post. So I'll start typing without the quote being there, and then halfway through my typing, the quote suddenly appears in the middle of what I'm writing.

Yeah, I really don't like how quoting is implemented. It looks like when you press the button, it phones home to get any changes to the text since when the page rendered, and that works fine under normal circumstances, but isn't ideal when everything's stuck in molasses

You can also quote manually by just copying and pasting the text if you don't want to wait. You can also copy and paste usernames.

I’m imagine that under the basement at Larian there is an old server room sub-basement, filled with lose cables, Tesla coils, and a great many wondrous and whimsical steam-powered contractions of spinning over-sized gears and whizzing electrodes, and that is why we can’t have a functional forum.

Is it practical? No.
But is it fun? Also no.

This forum used to be super powerful and capable.

But then it started hanging out with Wyll and Gale.

Now it's level one again.

Sure, but on phone it's a first‐class pain in the backside

Slooooow. Like painfully, horrifically slow.

IT'S LONGER THAN YOU THINK
LONGER THAN YOU THINK

IT'S BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

Really bad performance - started about 30 minutes ago.

and it's back to good.

Withers resurrecting the server and asking us what is the worth of a single forum’s performance.
