Hi everyone. I just started playing ARR a couple of days ago and I'm having a great time, but there is one technical issue.

Occasionally my screen will go black for about 5-8 seconds (but I can still hear in-game sound), and then it will come back on. However, upon being restored, the frame rate seems to have dropped to almost nothing and the game is very sluggish. The only solution seems to be to restart the game.

Any idea what is causing this?

Thanks!
John
