I have noticed that when my game goes to idiot mode and starts crashing.....just now I was turning around and the graphics stopped working...then a few hesitating moments of what appeared to be some stuttering in the graphics and movement but then absolutely nothing else. I checked to see if I could close the game and noted as I do most of the time that my task manger is showing that the game decided to take a frigging tea break and suspended itself. I have also noted that in other messages on this board that this seems to be a not so rare occurrence...might be something to look into I would assume.
