So I switched to the DX11 client as the devs said since and because it vastly improved performance for me in zones.

However I have a really irritating issue. The client will freeze for either a short time or long time on loading screens and then sort itself out. It's starting to get a tad annoying and I have tried everything possible. Reinstalling GPU drivers, Windows 10, checking my sound drivers although it's just the basic HD Audio ones that come with Windows 10 but updated and so on.

I'd rather not go back to DX9 because the performance increase here is noticeable for me. Has anyone any suggestions to remedy this issue or make it less frequent?
