Do you have ZoneAlarm, Sygate or other firewall software running? I had some weird happenings leaving firewall software running while playing FL and trying to do MP (forgot I had it running).

I'm also experiencing the exact same problem as you Kevyn, it slows down when the global server has been reached and a connection made. When it loads the server names and goes through updating all of them, then it slows down until all servers are updated or are not responding or something.

I'm curious as to an answer about this...but since I'll be using all seeing eye when they support it, I don't see much of a problem for me...

But for the few who are experiencing this issue, it'd be great to get it resolved.

BTW, I'm also using a radeon based card. Unfortunately I don't have any friends who play this game so I can't compared vcards.

G'luck

This is a known issue for the Radeon.

ATI is working on a driver version to fix the problem, but until then you can turn your Windows hardware acceleration back one notch from full to get the appropriate performance.

I think this information is in the readme.
