When logged in, the game will act fine for about three seconds and then take a one second pause. Other people will keep moving and I'll usually rubber band somewhere but this is happening every three to four seconds. I have switched from DX11 to DX10. Played with the sound settings, turned graphics down. Nothing seems to work. I'm on a quad core 3.4Ghz with 8GB ram and an nVidia 560 card with latest drivers. It's always worked great but the last patch seems to have fried it. I'm going to do a reinstall but I have real doubts it will change anything. After deleting the usersettings file in my docs, the intro movie played and even it was freezing every few seconds.
