Forum performance is definitely no indication of game performance, though, but unfortunately is not something that Larian can easily fix as, from what I’m told, it’s a third party service. It’s clearly totally terrible, but the only viable solution seems to be to completely replatform the forums.

It is disappointing that if they’re still like this come launch then they’re going to be basically unusable for help and support. I can only suggest that people try Larian’s Discord (link on their home page) instead when these forums are crawling.

And in a fine bit of Forum irony it took me about 30 minutes to load and respond to this post.
If Larian chooses not to get a new service before launch that's on Larian.

Regardless,if Discord is the best place, they need to communicate that information officially, otherwise they are going to compound the frustration of people who are having issues post launch.
