Sudden freeze, gears appear, seconds later the game resumes - Is there a new fix for this?

Like everyone else, same issue. Using a 9800X3D and a Strix RTX 5080, Thor 1200w PSU.

Same symptoms. I can't leech with other players, as I'll die and lose XP, and can't solo past lvl 93. Even with Omen of Amelioration, can't maintain more than 93 and 65% to lvl 94. Died six times in two hours last night. Had over 40 freeze/lockout/lockup conditions, 6 CTD's, and four "Failed to create DX11 Device" errors which is also an immediate CTD.

The DX11 mystery error started showing up after the next to last hotfix patch.

I know I'll sound like an ass, but rather than sit on the couch in interviews and talk about "the next greatest thing", please, for God's sake, PLEASE fix this issue. This season would have been pretty good but for the constant freezes and CTD's.

Honestly, you can't say "we don't know how to fix it". The game worked fine up to the 0.3.0 release. Go back and see what you changed - remove each thing one by one until it is gone if necessary. I can wait.
