After it locks up and you reboot the game, it usually runs sucessfully the 2nd time. I'd say it's about 50% chance of locing up right now.

More annoying IMO is the fact that many wins get recorded as 1v1 wins... completely distorting the ladder. Are they putting 2 AI players in with 2 humans if there are not 4 waiting to play a FFA?

Just want to confirm GalacticWino's observation, my 4FFA's have seemed to have been recorded as 1v1s as well.

From the text in game and with my experience, the ranked multiplayers only have real humans in game. To find a match with both human and bots playing, try a custom game in the lobby selection!

Sometimes it stops at the "Waiting for renderer" message for me.

Also, I'm sure the itself hangs because a segment of the audio loops forever. This isn't always obvious because then it sounds like some ambient sound effect.

We have a patch coming this week to fix or at least improve this issue.
