I have download the last patch, but it's still getting some freeze, and little pause.Anyone with the same problem ?

I still get the little pauses, but they have been minimized.

Weird thing, when I downloaded the newest update, it put the files on desktop instead of in the game directory. I had to copy them into it.

I don't know why, I use the normal install path for the game, I didn't alter it.
