Could you post your computer specs as much as possible? I want to see if people having this issue have anything in common. CPU, GPU, memory, motherboard maker/chipset, how many monitors you have, refresh rate, any other devices etc.Yea in a similar vein to this I've had freezes since a bit after Dawntrail, seemingly completely randomly it freezes for ~30 or so seconds, friends in Discord with me just see it happening via the same disconnecting symbol, I had assumed it might be related to player actions breaking, but even in an isolated instanced area without me acting it has happened, the more concerning times though being mid-instance, especially if I'm a healer in a dungeon I can just freeze and come back to the entire party dead because 2/3 things happen without me being able to do anything to help. It's severe enough an issue I can't confidently play healer/tank without constantly worrying it'll happen even when it can just not happen for 2 days straight and then the next day happen 3 times in 30 minutes. The single time it outright crashed it gave no errors and just closesd and every other time it just resumes after the freeze seeming completely fine.
The only consistent thing about its effects being that CPU drops to ~2% usage, GPU drops to 0% usage and RAM usage drops off a cliff to abnormally low amounts, usually to <150 MB usage, compared to the 600-900 the game runs at normally and then after resuming jumps back up to 300-400 before steadily climbing to normal values. Since Dawntrail the game also starts at like 2.5-3 GB usage but is freed up to the normal 600-900 after some seemingly arbitrary period of time, these freezes however can happen even before that initial drop but in such events it still drops heavily, but not to the extreme low levels
I've tried updating drivers and seeing if other changes like adjusting resolution and changing from borderless to windowed did anything but no adjustments have seemed to make any difference and I'm hesitant to try reinstalling the game since every instance of others who seem to have this issue it has seemed as though it does nothing to help
While uncertain on how to check my memory/motherboard offhand, CPU should be Intel Core i7-4770 3.4 GHz, GPU NVIDIA Quadro M2000, 2 monitors being Compaq S1922 Wide LCD Monitor and DELL E1910H, the game (both when I was doing windowed and borderless) is always only on the compaq monitor and capped at 60 FPS with both of the monitors refresh rates in windows' settings being displayed as 59.790 hz
As an addition edited in while not spec related the mention of always having the memory usage drop proved itself untrue immediately after I had posted such as the freeze happened again without such, so may've just been a fluke every other time I had actually checked
