It's happening to me on my desktop which runs a radeon 290\vishera 8350 - since the 3.3. patch it will crash occasionally when I zone into a dungeon after using DF.

My AW15 laptop has a completely different issue - no crashes, but system and compressed memory spikes and the game lags HARD for a good 4-5 seconds until whatever is running in the background is done. This did not happen prior to the patch and I've changed nothing about my setup, including drivers, since I bought it. I updated nvidia's package to see if it helped, but the problem persists. It happens when nothing but the game is running - no browsers or other tools I might be using.

I see that SE has scheduled a hotfix so maybe they are aware of the issues?
