I don't know the correct dev tags etc. but I wanted to post this for discussion. I just made this topic in the bug section, and would love to get more feedback as I could be completely off-base with my investigation into the issue.

If some of you guys could check this out and see if you have similar results, mucho appreciated! It seems like a major bug to me and one that will hopefully get fixed in the future, along with the fact that the game does require so much memory for other players to appear on your screen...
