Over the last couple of months something strange has been happening to my connection. The game starts fine, then when I connect to the duelling arena's it's fine, until it stall for about 30 seconds on the load screen with blue borders, when the music stops. It then puts me in the control tower, with the lost connection dialogue box, click ok and it drops me out the game. It takes several attemps to connect before it finally sticks. I don't seem to have had issues connecting to any other arena, well, not that I have noticed, and off-line it all loads fine. Also issues with alt-tab crashing out nine out of ten times. Not sure if anyone has any ideas that may help.
