@Caprica--S6X , @StevenMoza , @piggysnakes , @19NLX78 , @Darius-4000-xxx , what version of the game are you all running? The x86 or x64 version? If you're not sure, look in the Rivals properties tab. Depending on your system, run one or the other. If you have a lower to middle end system, run the x86. When this happens, do you bring up the task manager as soon as it happens? Wait a few seconds and see if it's goes into a "Host Migration" screen. Not sure if you've experienced this or not, but whenever a host of a session leaves, the server will assign another player as the host. Will happen in the middle of a race, being chased by cops, or chasing racers, etc. No given warning. You will all of a sudden lose control of your car, game will freeze, graphics issues can occur, etc., because the host player left, the server has to collect all information from remaining players, save the current progress of each player, and reset the host. then place all players still in session back to where they were. Depending on your systems specs, network ping times, your internet provider speed, it can take longer. If that's not the issue, try adjusting your graphic settings. Go to the lowest settings and work up to find the best setup for your game. If none of that works, try doing a clean boot and then run the game:

You'll have to go through trial and error, "rinse and repeat" to figure out what's causing it. You can also add a dxdialog notepad doc to a reply post and one of teh EA moderators on here can get it to the tech team to look over, or someone on here with the right knowledge can look through it and help further:

Hope that helps all of you out on this. I have a higher end system, and I've experienced some of these issues when migrate happens. On top of that, not sure if you all are on PC or console, but this game wasn't optimized too well for PC. Some of the dev team need to play this game on a lower end computer. One that's at/just above system requirements for this game and see a lot of the bugs/glitches that are in it. Come up with a patch to fix them. Majority of GHOST team are from Criterion anyway. Right? Anyway, hope a solution can be found for you all.
