I'm a newbie to the technical stuff will state that up front. I was able to play the game with some success on Sunday night but since then I can't get beyond the galaxy map. On Sunday I had to keep restarting the game after completing a mission or returning to space dock which was OK - last night I couldn't start a mission it would freeze at the galaxy map. I created a new character - same thing. I deleted the game, re-installed and the same thing. Are there updates going on that may be causing this? I have windows XP - I turned the firewalls off and all virus software - I haven't a clue what the issue is any help would be appreciated. My son on another computer using Windows 7 had the same issues.
