Game freezing - Forced to ALT F4

Consistently inconsistent game freezes occurring, whether 1 minute into the game or several hours in, when it happens the visual of the game will simply freeze, audio will continue to play but nothing is interactable nor able to find a way to un-freeze it once it occurs, the only option is to alt-f4 or close the game via task manager and then re-open it.

They seem to occur when involved with any sort of UI, whether it’s any of the following I’ve had happen so far;

Escape menu, emote menu, opening inventory, opening friends list, vendors, service NPCs, entering dungeons, entering cellars and all manner of lore-items placed in the world that give a UI popup.
