When you are in game, there is a high chance after getting randomly sorted into teams of 4, you might not be able to load into the map.
After that, surfing through the stores, in the game interface (not in game yet) became much smoother. Such, I turn it to LOW (the lowest res.). That's the highest resolution in the game, and this actually affects the startup of the game. I figure out that the default resolution was ULTRA. Turns out that you can toggle some settings in the game.
Seems like the reviewers did say the right thing. Constantly crashing, laggy movement, chunky graphics, etc.
