stability definately took a hit, and you can see a lot of other people are in a similar boat. I know I myself had constant issues right after I installed the patch where I just gave up after the 3rd boot in a row in 5 min intervals. I have been able to play some since then, but again, been very spotty, sometimes terrible, sometimes okay to get through. Whatever they did... didn't work. Flabbergasted that they refuse to roll back the patch and try again next week. I would expect the next patch to hopefully fix these issues to some degree though.
