My DxDiag is in the original post. The unstable connection is a possibility. I'm not using wireless, but I'm still on a sort of shoddy connection. Manually would mean I'd have to download 10+ individual patches for a fresh install?
I'm unsure why I'm experiencing it in another game or if that means it's unrelated to the patch. And if it isn't related to the patch, why it started with RoM right after its patch.
Manually patching would indeed mean needing to download the individual patches and installing them one-by-one in order.
Other things you can try:
1. Rolling BACK your video driver to a previous version (This affecting more than one game can be a warning sign of a corrupt driver).
2. Using some form of temperature-monitoring utility to make sure your graphics card is not overheating or on its last legs.
