I tried playing during a few fates after i set up my new modem and router and i get the same thing. I thought it might be fixed but i'm not sure what i can do about this now. I replaced everything @ my house and i still am getting the same huge pauses between actions. People will fight in a fate then just stand there and the same with the enemies, then after 5-10 seconds, it'll just all go fast like it was in fast forward. Ironic that now that i want to actually play the game, it prevents me from enjoying it.
