I guess they couldn't beta test with a cast of thousands... My game has been crashing every 3-6 games sometimes requiring a restart of the PC to resume play. It wasn't this bad until the game update came out one day after release - that was supposed to make better use of the quad-core CPU here! I have, hopefully but not confidently, updated the video card driver in case that will do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

My game ran fine until Fri. afternoon. Or perhaps reinstall, and go back to square one without any update installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play multiplayer but not single player. Also he is getting cant connect problems too. I was on after work last night and no one seem to have any issues other than people needing kick so XI could get in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That affecting the XI servers is an inability to connect at all. But at least one UK server is also affected and I'd guess that the >1 minute wait to get on anything (compared with around seven seconds previously) just indicates the strain on the network during the first weekend following launch.

XI's have disappeared completely and they seem to have "lost" around 6,000 today! Only a few hundred actually appear and one has to wait for them to trickle down the wire. It's a shambles.

You should be fine using the original Steam ID and that'd retain the progress you'd made so far. The damned crashes are as big a pain as the connection problems. I have very little running in the background but I am darned sure I am not going to take a firewall down and expose my PC to port scanners et al. Haven't Activision heard of PC security??! I run AVG Internet Security and that has a gaming mode that ought to cater for the demands of the game whilst keeping the shields up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) Disable Ingame Steam: Steam / Settings / In Game / uncheck “Enable Steam Community In-Game” (3) Lower the CPU Priority on Steam process: open your Task Manager click the "processes" tab - then click "steam.exe" go down to "set priority" and set to "low".
