<t> WOOOOOW, I feel so dumb, I was running an older version of the game and now that I updated the game to the latest patch everything runs smoothly! Damn, it never crossed my mind that since it had been a while since I played couple of patches have been released which may fix my issue! Thank you ...

<t> Hello, I am not running the latest version of the game, I am still running the same version I was running when I last played the game. Like 1.9.5.xx.
