Broken for some, not the masses. It's heavily system dependant, meaning what effects one, won't necessarily effect another. Then again, if you base your opinion on those of others and not your own experiences..... Well I guess the only thing I can say is to play it yourself and stop basing your opinions on the reviews of others. :shrug:
They are working on fixing the product, it's you newboarders that haven't seen the replies, or efforts they've made since it's release. So no, they don't have to fix it any faster then they have been. They've been doing a damn good job and the game has come leaps and bounds from it's previously unplayable state. :wink_smile:
Instead of just looking at the hits for freezing, take a look at the topics where people adress the devs directly, and get responses. You might be surprised. :wink_smile:
PS - Welcome to the forums, though I suspect I'll be seeing a lot more topics like this.
