If this wasn't a common problem I wouldn't be coming here. This happens without fail every time. Once I start the game it will eventually freeze and half of the time leading up to that it's lagging beyond being playable. Collectively since I bought the game I've spent more than $120 on all of this (because I'm a fan of the series), I think the game should be playable to those who spend the most money on it, and I would expect to have a functioning game considering the amount spent. I just want to play my game. I don't think there's been any updated patches in a while, but the company really needs to do something about this so I'd hope you've been trying to fix this issue and if you haven't please do so immediatly.
