HBO immediately addressed the issue and said that they are “experiencing an unprecedented surge in traffic” and “are working on a solution”.

In Malaysia, fans were scheduled to watch the Snyder Cut premiere at 3:01p.m. but a quick check on Twitter shows that local fans weren’t the only ones who are affected by the disruption.
