Software issue affecting DEN departures?

Captain said there is a software issue - something about weight and balance - affecting ALL UA flight. I don’t know if he meant just DEN?
Door closed 30 minutes ago and we’re just sitting. I’m seeing no movement out the window.

Son on a flight, and they are having to offload 2 people, RJ550. Another RJ flight was having to take 8 people off due to W&B.

Maybe the system is down and they are having to go with a system that is more conservative? It’s warm for March, but imagine if it was 90F+…

Just watched “The Pitt” episode where they have to go paper and fax machine, and someone uses a felt tip marker on a triple carbon copy.
