[Xbox] Game Crashes in loading transitions

[kaolinite]

Yep. Though the game hasn't crashed for me. Only constant freezing. (And video tearing, like my TV screen has a crack or something.) Which seems to have been mitigated somewhat when I turned off the setting "don't show players near quest NPC". Both of them. The freezing still happens, but it's now once every 2-3 hours or so of playing. The freezing was near constant on every loading screen when I turned those options on.

I've also found that disabling the "Don't show players near Quest NPCs" settings seems to have helped today. Previously it would freeze up on every second teleport or zone change, but I've been playing for hours without any freezing this morning.

This could also just be due to playing at a quieter time, but it's been a pretty stark difference. Haven't tested it on MSQ cutscenes yet though.

I can second this, turned off setting, have had no freezing yet, did Frontline, and now queued MSQ roulette, and did some MSQ cutscenes! So far so good.

Can confirm this does not fix the issue. Two aetheryte teleports, entered squadron quarters, exited quarters and it froze up. Was worth a try I guess.

TURN OFF THE NEW HIDE PLAYERS AROUND NPC FEATURE!!

Like others have said, as soon as I turned it off I was able to load into a dungeon for the first time since DT released. Cant promise you won’t have a random freeze and it could be because less players are on right now, but I’m counting this as a win until they do a hotfix.

I've NEVER had it turned on and the issue is still happening.

===============================

Date of issue: 29/06/2024 (06/29/2024)
Time of issue: Constant
Frequency: Ongoing - varies based on how often you're moving between areas. Seems roughly 50/50
World name: Ravana (OCE)
Character name@Home World name: Nirixes Malshaan
Class/Level: Multiple jobs (whm, pld, dnc)
Party or solo: Solo - only impacts one player at a time.
Area and coordinates: Area transitions

Steps:
Game locks on area transitions.
This even happens when transitioning to a low-population zone (e.g. from one area of an instanced dungeon to another area in that same dungeon).
This can happen with transitions between adventure areas, loading dungeons/raids/trials, loading cut scenes and even using aetheryte travel from one part of a city to another. The loading circle freezes, the music stops and the game is unresponsive.

Just found this and wanted to share for those who were unaware. Hopefully this means there will be a fix soon!

The best thing is that they are aware but hopefully they will release a patch soon to fix it. My finacee is getting really aggravated, lol.
