Lots of problems here. Took a while just to get the game started, and once I did, it was laggy as hell when I tried to join a game with Taggart (and got booted any time any sort of menial load process happened).

Then I tried a single player game, and it was STILL running crappy though I had it set to 1024x768 and all the graphic settings on either off or low. I know my comp isn't exactly new, but on just about the lowest settings they provide (outside of resolution, though 1024x768 is lower than I've run anything in YEARS) it should be at least playable.

Updated my graphics drivers (only one update since last time I did it, though) and am currently running antivirus, ad-aware, disk cleanup, defrag, etc. Assuming the game is just buggy as hell since I have another local friend who is having a lot of problems as well, but ultimately it may just come down to me needing to do a complete re-format after a few years of running this comp.
