It's got so bad that I stopped playing it to wait to see if a fix 
appears. The cut scenes are supposed to be immersive but not if every 30 
secs the screens goes blank/to desktop before it returns and you've 
missed part of the action.

I know there's pressure to release games at the right time (four weeks 
from know would be in the summer season where I understand games can 
just be forgotten about) but this has pissed me off a bit.
