When ever I try to play any type of game mode in game, it goes through the steps of initializing the map and then logging in and when it gets to loading game it stops and gives me this error message. Anybody know why?

I got this message any time I tried to use SLI graphics or plug in an Xbox 360 controller, not sure if its applicable to you but it fixed it for me. The only time I get it now is on that Shanghai map when the giant building collapses unfortunately.
