Agree. It's a matter of: your internet provider... get the best speed that you can afford. and your PC.
I have a custom built pc for gaming, COD etc. Loop was turned off within the first few months but, it is a myth.
I have also not updated this flash issue in over a year.. and still have a smooth meter. Dont buy into this "you have to do this and that". Bottom line is: make sure your box, labtop whatever, and internet speed is up to par.
This great game needs only a decent pc and a good connection.
