I wanted to know if possible, the new patch will solve the random freezing, or at least slow it down?

I understand this new patch will fix existing bugs, but I'm more concerned with the lag and freeze. What exactly causes this? I read somewhere in this forum where someone said it's a memory leak from the havok engine? But I don't know it that's the case.

Also, is there any special instructions we can do to avoid freezing? I also read people deleting the game data files, reinstalling without the patch. Did anyone have any luck by doing this?

Love this game, just don't want it to lock up while i'm playing, it really hinders the overall experience of gaming.

Meh - it depends on which malcontent types the loudest at any particular point in time.

Bottom line - ain't no one knows until the patch is released.

This.
It's about all that can be said with any degree of certainty.
