Constant crashing / hanging - but not in game

This is driving me mad. Once the game starts its rock solid but i'm really suffering when navigating the menus and joining lobbys. Quite often when clicking on Multiplayer or Internet or Log In the game kind of greys out and goes Not Responding. I have to close the window and kick it off again.

On top of that when joining lobbys i start connecting then i get a little log up which gives some kind of error. I would paste it in here but another problem has started happening too, after a crash i quite often get a message saying "You have entered an invalid username or password". It's definately right and no amount of closing the game or Impulse works. Then for no apparent reason after about 5 - 10 mins it lets me log in again.

When i get let in again i shall post up the error that gets logged when joining lobbys.

Still getting "You have entered an invalid username or password", this is ridiculous.
