I discovered something that might be helpful to you . My game started being slow, and would no longer go to Sin Club. So, I downloaded the latest game version, just as if I was a user installing it for the first time. I didn't need a password during the install, or anything else. All easy and automatic. Of course then it went through all the latest updates - which took a lot longer than the basic installation step did. The result of this re-install is that the game runs flawlessly and at least 3X faster! If your game is getting sluggish, you might want to do as I did. Naturally your friends list and everything else will automatically be in your fresh install - you shouldn't lose anything. Hope this helps!
