Kinda doubt that's it - I downloaded the patch before servers were even back up for playing, and went about 2 or 3 days without the freezing started, and then it possibly-not-coincidentally started once I'd at least dipped my toe into most of the new stuff, and didn't feel a driving need to Do All The Things, and started hanging out in Gridania more.

Yesterday when I played I made the conscious decision to stay out of town as much as possible, and again didn't freeze. Could be coincidence, could be my PS3 trying to crap out (although it's not that old) and getting overheated in stressful areas, could be that there's a problem with the patch/Starlight update, and whatever it is is (mostly) in cities.
