I'm coming across a problem where when I'm on the loading screen, about half of the time it'll freeze and get stuck at about 3/4 loaded and I have to cloase the game down and restart it. It's getting really irritating since I'm now having to save every time I go into a new area so that I don't loose my progress

post your system specs please

translation = the installer is not allowed to edit the drive

again, you want some help = post info about your system... we can't read your mind

I'm not sure if this page addresses a problem similar to yours, but I'd say it's worth a look:

I'm guessing that people who post like this don't know what their own hardware is and that maybe they can't even see how it matters...;)

Agreed, it's highly annoying...;)
