Deejay, as far as the game stopped working on you I do get quite a few lock ups... I have to exit and rejoin... Sometimes closing out the battlelog and origin... But if you got logged in and played then it did work.. Try cpl more times to see if it was just a lock up.. I lock up alot especially when changing maps.. But when i do get playing it runs great... Dont give up bro... We need u in there representing XI... Also, dont have ts or xfire on when you go to get in a game.. TS makes me lag, and Xfire dont even let me play... I also went in an disabled any virus program, and other bs that runs in the background.. I use that gamebooster that shuts down any unneeded process in the background... And 95% of the time.. I run great in the game!!! Good luck bro hope i gave you some good advice to help u...
