No! I don’t even have any downloads on! It's weird.... I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game.... didn’t work.
You mention that you don't have downloads on--does this mean that you have hacks in your downloads folder but you don't have them enabled--if that is the case, then you need to completely remove the folder to your desk top and try again. It may be possible for something to effect your game even with downloads not being enabled.
