Thanks for the offer but I've already looked, I don't want to downgrade because I want to play on my friends server, otherwise I'd have downgraded straight away

Can everyone stop posting 'I have the same issue' or something similar, it doesn't help me and it doesn't help the devs, make your own post with your own specs.
