I have an M.2 SSD and the game loads in under 10 seconds. How much faster do we need it?

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...
I am hoping this doesn't break Linux compatibility. I am enjoying D4 a lot on my Steam Deck and Arch Linux box.
It does say support and not require so you're probably fine
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.
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
