While I have experienced numerous freezes and crashes throughout the game, it is about a 50/50 chance I crash if I teleport to a town during the Helltide. It usually starts out smoothly, running at 144hz, 1080p, as the usual for my game. Then I start to get some stuttering and frame drops during the game. Then a lot more. And at that point, if I try to teleport back to town, the game freezes and then goes non-responsive, and crashes.
I do believe this happens in the Fractured Peaks more frequently than other locations.
For full info, I have a 10700K, 16gb ram, and a 2070S, running the game off an SSD M.2 drive. Currently playing on High graphic settings (excluding soft shadows), with DLSS on Performance, and Reflex Low Latency enabled.
