Random freezing and connection problems
So I've been having this problem where the game freezes with the audio still playing in the background. Usually happens when I move to an area with a lot of mobs or perhaps when there is a lot of loot that drops off one. The performance is fine in-between these occurances, really smooth and no frame drops but when these freezes do occur in online mode the game decides to boot me off the established connection to the server and throws me back on to the main menu.
Lots of connectivity issues, as now the game is refusing to establish a connection in the first place and just tells me to try again later consistently. Tried connecting to various other regions to no avail. So now I made a new character in offline mode, the difference now is that it still does freeze at crucial points of say initiating a big fight but at least I don't lose connection to the game since I'm assuming it's a local game. The freezes last for a good 2 minutes at times and can be extremely frustrating. I'm really enjoying the game but these technical issues are turning an enjoyable experience into a super frustrating cycle of starting over for one reason or another. Establishing to a server and connecting takes about 10-15 minutes and everytime it freezes it disconnects from server, so rinse and repeat.
My system isn't the best but judging by the performance 100% of the time when the freezes don't occur, there is zero lag and no frame drops in huge fights. The game runs perfectly fine in these moments which leads me to believe it's a technical thing from the development side. Perhaps some clean up related to particle effect nodes or the way loot drops is my best bet but I'm no expert. I would like to play this game online too and get my money's worth, any help is appreciated. And if you could resolve these connectivity issues too it would be great..
