hi everyone! i am having this problem which seems to have trobuled thousands of people. i save my game, but when i try to load them, the game freezes and, after pressing some keys, crashes. when the blue bar at the bottom of the screen showing the loading status is complete, there is a ping and it freezes. i am trying a cracked version, though, so there is no chance of using patch1.1 anyone had the same problem?? any suggestions?? thanks everyone
