Issues fixed
Low FPS/stuttering
The low FPS is due to the game constantly trying to connect to a Gamespy server that no longer exists. A temporary fix to the issue is disconnecting the computer from the internet. However, for a permanent solution, the game needs to have the Gamespy URL changed to a working link:
