Works for me.

Works for me too.

EDIT: Good game though, BTW. I thought one may have been better and haven't done three yet, but two was definitely good. One thing.... you need to understand the mechanics of the game to make rational decisions at level up. This was true in both 1 and 2, not sure about three. But basically, the main attributes ONLY actually make a difference at every 5 levels. In other words, a 1, 2, 3, or 4 attribute acts EXACTLY the same. Then if you get it to 5, then there is an impact in game. Then no impact when going from 5 to 6, 7, 8, and 9 again until you get it to 10, THEN you get in game impact. So at each level up you need to "manage" your attribute point distribution to take advantage of that.

Apparently OP is not alone though:

Can't confirm. Works for me (Win 10, Edge).

Seems to be working in Firefox/Linux.

Just an idle thought, but sometimes gog's servers get overloaded and store and forum pages won't load for you. All you can do is wait until traffic dies down.

If that's not the problem, it may be your browser or firewall.
