It's a bug. Many people including myself get this.

I had the dos box at the end of a game when it started freezing, but after that match ended I had no problems, I just thought it was weird.

What is this "Dos box" you speak of? That's such a generic term, I have no idea what it actually is referring to.

If any of you experiencing this have a digital camera (or capture card or somesuch), might want to take a snapshot next time and upload it so Joe can see what you're seeing.

Maybe it's a really bad de-sync from players who are geographically remote, induced from lag? I seem to recall getting this in the PC version from time to time when using Kali to play over TCP/IP. Sometimes you'd see the desync message in the game, other times (especially with more players) you'd see an actual ms-dos window come up with crash data.

Of course, this is my memory from events of 10 years past.. so it's spotty.
