My PC is seems fine. Im also playing a lot of other games (STALKER, Torchlight, Heroes of Might and Magic 5, Gothic 3, to name a few) and I dont have this problem in any of then.

Makes sense, actually. Altough the game is running smooth, it might be overheating (summer here, pretty hot most of the time). I will try lowering the graphic setting and watching the GPU temperature.

And also, what video setting in the game are you using?
Res: 1680x1050
Refresh: Normal
Vis distance: Normal
Water: High
A. Filter: 2x
Shadows: Normal
Anti-aliasing: No
Vertical Sync: Yes
Landscape: High
Units: High
Object: High

Has I said, its running pretty smooth with this settings, only some ocasional slowdowns. But I will try lowering a bit anyway, that overheating is a good possibility.

I havent contacted support yet (actually, I though that was the point of this forum), but I will if keep having the freezes after lowering the settings.

Thanks a lot for the tips!
