I am a long time gamer i.e. a long time game trouble shooter, but I cannot get this game to not freeze. I have tried lowering hardware accel. in steps--no help. For a while I thought it was the Shortcut. Once in a while that has been a problelm in other games, but it didn't help in this game. The game never feezes in the same place twice, and some times I get thru a whole training scenario or two with no freezes...but then the next time it will. I give up on this game. Too bad. If I could get a refund I would.
