#### Screen freeze when Ju-Ju appears

Hi. Ever since the new puff of smoke when the JuJu appears I've been having trouble. As soon as the poof appears, my screen freezes. This is particularly bad when he appears very close to my character. By the time the screen unfreezes, he already has what he wanted to steal. Twice yesterday he appeared (Poof) on top of me! When combined with the freeze frame, no time to run at all.
Has anyone else reported this?

- Juju's have had a history of lag issues, but usually it's the initial loading of the Juju that lags. After your first few, future Juju's should load much faster if you survive the initial hiccup. Are you using Chrome or Firefox by any chance? They usually cache the flash file and that may help the loading, but not guaranteed.

- Thanks. I use Chrome. I've been to the Ancestral areas three times since the poof effect was added. So far I haven't seen any improvement. Will keep an eye on it to see whether the situation changes. I didn't notice any lag when they appeared prior to the change. It's a small thing and I can drop some stuff out of inventory before I go next time, it is just a tad annoying.

- @TomC: Thanks for that explanation, I, too, use Google Chrome, and experience heavy lag when the JuJu appears. I experience a similar lag when the deimaginators appear on my smuggler quests, too! What I do, is keep going the way that I am headed, no matter if a JuJu appears, since, 9 out of 10 times, the JuJu will spawn behind me. I hope that second bit helps :)

- Kangaroo hopping also ensures that if they appear on you or you freeze they will be beneath from you before and after the stall.
