This one might deserve a sticky.

Nice tip thanks.

I was limping along with the crashes since I got the game a couple weeks ago. This fixed it like a charm.

I could not stay loged into V-Net for longer than 10 minutes before I would be locked up and that was not even loading into the MP game.

I have been sitting in the lobby now for hours and I can still type.

I fully expect when I play my MP game tomorrow I will be peachy clean with no more crashes.
