You are just really really lucky. Seriously.
Like you, I -had- been playing ok with only minor (though numerous) bugs since release, but just recently started having the terrible CDT and character freezing problems described by so many others.
So far I've managed to "fix" each problem via reloads or backups, but the lower I go in the temple, the worse it gets. The game is nearly unplayable at this point.
I regret purchasing this product at release.
Next time, especially when I see the Atari logo, I'll wait.
btw for any who aren't familiar with game publishing, it isn't the developers, it's the publisher's 3rd-party projects Producer who has the Financial and Quality Assurance authority from executive management to approve, delay, suspend or cancel any project at any point along the development cycle, including just before release. It's the publisher's Producer who makes or breaks a game.
