Yeah, things are running smoothly now. On my third attempt to play, the game would freeze on me every 5 minutes or so for about 10 seconds at a time...then it resumed. On my fourth attempt, one of the Rooks on my team went back to the healing crystal early on and remained there for the rest of the game. It wasn't until my fifth attempt at playing this game...or fifth game rather...that everything started to run smoothly. ...I better knock on wood!

...5...10...15 seconds. Is it my specs that's causing the game to pause for 5...10...15 seconds before it comes back to life or is it the game itself?

I'd think that if anything my computer would slowly come to a halt rather than freeze/pause for 10 seconds and then continue on. Thoughts/opinions? Thanks!

I started my second game, after the first one crashed at the "VS" screen, only to find that only the map was loaded...and nothing else. I had to end the game and start a new one.... ...You know what they say...third times a charm!!! I finally got everything to load!
