Nathan Smith Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Whenever I go to click on preferences, the game freezes and does not respond, so I have to reload the game, and it's pretty annoying. Wondering if anyone knows what I can do to solve this please? Many Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
