Good to hear that it is not just me. I did not think about looking at reddit. Thanks for the input. I logged in, got to the Tree of Whispers and turned it in. I wanted to go extract a new aspect and at the end of my portal cast bar, it hard freezes. The game sound still works, as I can hear the portal casting sequence, just frozen. Now that I think if it, it has always been at the end of my portal cast bar.
Well, will likely not play for a few days until its fixed as this was about the only time I had to play the rest of the week. I stopped playing a month into season one and im so happy that my framerate is nearly always 120 now. Before, it was like 24 in town and around 70 the rest and my pc can handle it. Not sure what they did but my framerate has been night and day, lets hope we can get a stable experience soon.
Just seen the post about cross communication, I will try that. From what I remember in the past when trying to nail down the framerate issues, I had disabled that and it never actually went away. I will try now and report back.
Edit** I thought that it helped as well, but it started doing it again.
