So as the title suggests, my game semi-freezes alot, initially just occasionally after 2.1 but now everyday since 2.2. I'm not suggesting the updates are causing this but that perhaps somethign over time is making it worse.

Lets use use first example : I'm in Mor Dhona just chilling around, and I see a shout that a certain fate is happening in the next zone so I move toward the exit. When approaching the gates my game starts to judder, as if it very slow motion, and to all else i'm also moving in baby steps so its not like just a frame loss but total slow mo. This will continue until I get to the next zone.

Second example: teleport, as above once the teleport animation starts and then stops once new zone has loaded.

Third example: running between fates in Middle la Noscea my game did the same as above everytime I climbed or descended the cliff that seperates the top and bottom of the map. Most occasions it would be back to normal once reached the top or bottom but also on a few I have tried to alt-tab out (its a very long climb/descend when its in baby steps) and returned to a black screen completely where I could hear sounds clearly and it suggested that movement was fine I just couldnt see it.

On several of these occasions it has prevented me from using the UI such as accepting party invites or commencing duty (duty finder).


EDIT: would like to add that I have tried turning all graphics settings to low but still same happens. temperatures of graphics card is fine, and altho CPU temp is a little high its not screaming (yet).

Now heres the PC details:
