I'm on a trial, considering going to subscription, but I have been having this problem with the game. I get a total system lock-up when opening the dialog window of a NPC. It doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to make COH unplayable. It happens on multiple servers, and on both he hero and villain side. Below is a cut/paste of system specs: Any assistance would be appreciated.
