the patch isnt out yet, im hoping that will fix the problem, ive tried lowering the settings too, the box says its recommended 1gid ram when i have 512, think that might be the problem, but it wouldnt explain why some maps work better than others, hoping the patch solves this

That definitely explains it...some maps are much more intensive than other ones are. Be it for memory, video card power, or processor power. Originally Posted by sappleton
