Well just to prove I can do more than complain, each patch has improved the game for me. I had the multitude of problems a lot of people had, but each subsequent patch has upgraded the game quite well, particularly the last one. As far as I can tell, the only 2 problems that haven't been resolved are the choppy wonder movies and the animals disappearing and turning into shadows. However, I am not overly concerned with either at this point. I am enjoying playing the game, even on super large map, and maybe they will fix the last 2 problems in later patches.
