    I am hoping this doesn’t break Linux compatibility. I am enjoying D4 a lot on my Steam Deck and Arch Linux box.

      Forspoken works on the Steam Deck, albeit with longer load times than PC or PS5. I think the DirectStorage feature is simply ignored if not supported by the system, so I wouldn’t worry too much.

      That’s definitely one of the things I was thinking when I was loading this game in about 10 seconds. “I wish this game would load in 2 seconds or less”

      Well I’d say zero seconds is the goal.

    As one of the few people who actually thoroughly enjoyed Forspoken and has 100+ hours in it, going from that game to D4 felt rather jarring. Still does. As the game from a much bigger company, with a much larger budget and development time, I really expected it to have instant fast travel at release. Especially since they kept using the huge OW as a selling point…

    More ideal would be supporting offline play for faster loading queue times and stability.

      Blizzard will never allow you to play their game apart from their servers. 0% chance
