I am sorry to report that the two games were just luck and the problem is not solved.
My last game started out fine, but then the fps hit and it all went to hell. The lost team battles, the missed skill shots, the raging teammates... it wasn't pretty.
I had gone into my Control Panel and rolled back my graphics driver. Did I do it wrong, or do we need to try something else?
I just wish I could understand why this is happening. The most frustrating thing about it is it all seems totally random and inexplicable. Thank you for your continued help ):
