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

It's strange because the forums are suddenly acting like real forums but the petalbot has more connections than usual.

Larian rents their servers [as does Gog and Steam for that matter] which means you pick how much traffic you want to be able to handle... "the fix" is as easy as pay $ to cover more

yes forum traffic is a good idea of game download performance , during EA first release Gog slowed to a snail crawl and Steam crashed all together and that was only less then 10% of current costomers... add in press + spammers and Larian has two basic choices

Wait, so we can just... like... read things and make posts now? Instead of using those long moments to gather our thoughts and ponder the question of life, the universe and everything?

We're all doomed. Time to sing the doom song. Doom do-doom! Doom doom doom! Doomity doom doom!

Yeah, something's changed. This is way faster. Really hoping it keeps this up.

I warned ya all ...

Narrator:
As these images flood your mind, you fall soundly asleep like a babe in arms.
Lag. Lag. Lag. Lag. Lag.

😂

It seemed to work much faster for an hour or two, but now its back to 'normal'. At least for me.

Our beautiful, fast forums - taken from us once again.

Clearly this a call to adventure. The Red Queen is the chosen one and she will lead our party in a heroic quest to slay the dragon that is hording the server bandwith.

OOH OOH OOH
I CALL MURDERHOBO EDGELORD
NO ONE ELSE CAN BE MURDERHOBO EDGELORD OR ILL MURDERHOBO YOU

Clearly something's going on behind the scenes.

Whoever made it run faster, YAY!

Whoever made it run slower again, BOO!

Speed will pick up again as soon as the hamster gets its breath back.


Well the good times lasted less than 24hrs.

Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Lagging-not.

Tough times create strong forums.
Strong forums create good times.
Good times create weak forums.
Weak forums create tough times.

These forums have been braught to you by Lagrian

How can posting a few bytes of text be such a miserable experience on these forums? Forums were faster in the dial-up modem era.

Are you saying we should sic Boo on them? Not a bad plan.

Go for the IPs Boo, go for the IPs! Raargh!
