Gaming, Computer, Techs, Programming, Economics, etc. mixing thoughts.

The first match always run smoothly with no problem at all (approx. 40-50FPS with all setting to max). But in the second match or later there are randomly freeze then continue after a few seconds also the framerate is still stable afterward. Don't really sure it's just random or it always in the 2nd+ match. Note that this is trying against all AI opponents. I hope this help out a bit.

I have the same experiences.

I see this in most multiplayer games about 5 minutes in.  Total freeze for 10 seconds or so but music doesn't stop.  After first freeze it doesn't re-occur.  It occurs for all players in the game. 

I've also had it where you can still chat but the game is frozen which seems like a lag issue to me. 

I always restart DG client between games.
