Gonna do it again tonight and report back on anything that happens. Looking around the forum for similar issues pointed me to threads where people say the game can't recover after a sound driver hiccup and this kind of thing happens, none of the threads had a way to fix it. Meanwhile if anyone knows what is going on and how to solve it please leave a reply.

Update: Happened again last night, during around 30% of Twintania's HP.

Update 2: Again, this time on Nael. I spent 5 hours doing Savage fights and this issue didn't occur during them, so I guess it must be related to the Ucob duty. I'll probably stop updating this post btw, will keep checking to see if there are any solutions though.

Was your issue ever resolved? I'm travelling for work right now and have my laptop with me. I used this exact same laptop to play prior to and during the Shadowbringers launch with no issues whatsoever but I haven't used it since i got my desktop back. After doing all the updates I am having the exact issue you have described:(:( Even in housing areas . Extremely frustrating

Nope, still having the same issue. Also had a couple of people messaging me about the same issue but in their case it was occurring everywhere, no one seems to know what causes that.
