Not had that problem but from the problems I've had and those that have 
been reported it seems that they may have released it in a bit of a 
hurry! My biggest gripe at the moment (I'll leave the non-downloadable 
DLC out of it) is the regular drops to a black screen and then back 
again - not overly good from the immersion point of view.

I'm presuming this is a problem with my graphics card but hopefully 
there'll be a fix this week. I appreciate that there are lots of 
graphics cards out there (not sure how many different ones/combinations 
you really have to try though) but is it really this difficult to do 
just a bit more testing?

erm ... Troll Trouble DLC is now verifying ... ooops, another connection 
error ... maybe this time ... verifying Ultimate Swordsman's Outfit ... 
another connection error ... retrying in 10 secs ... 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 
7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... 1 ... oh now 
it's 10 again. I give in now offline!
