I think it's a step back, just like Rivals was. When watching interviews, and more annoyingly, match highlights the picture runs for about 20 seconds and freezes repeatedly. I have set the options so that Latics Player has all the CPU, but still no difference. I appreciate that I may be trying to view when lots of people in my area are on the net, but that was not a problem with Latics World. I simply downloaded the file in seconds, and played it back through Windows Player without problem. Latics Player will not let me download the file.
