Will this new patch fix the sound bug that causes the freezing?

Can also confirm sound bug still on PTR. Maybe this is a bug from windows hence no fix yet from Blizzard. Microsoft just released this for insider ring last week.

In notes it states - Updates an issue with screen rendering after opening games with certain hardware configurations. (Is this the issue we are having, vague info)

I have just installed and will test today and report back later if it works, fingers crossed
