ESO randomly freezing in combat in cyrodil

xeNNNNN

So everything has been fine since the last patch, no problems. Until tonight for some reason. Whenever I go to any form of PvP combat, my frames tank too such an extent that I visibly see "0" just as the game unfreezes and gives me control back. I am usually at 40 frames in high combat areas, 60-95 outside of combat depending on where I am. These freezes, make the game completely unplayable.

I am also hearing people are getting random freezes on occasion when they bar swap that end up with a similar scenario to me. Not sure if its related.

It should also be noted that I played earlier today and this did not happen and nothing has changed since then.

Heres my DxDiag:

Game has run pretty solid all these years (not the server, I mean the actual stability of the game itself). But since Blackwood I've noticed freezes in both Cyrodiil and outside of Cyrodiil, also more random CTDs than usual.
The CTDs have never happened when in PvP (thank god) areas and generally happens in PvE zones. Nothing seems to really trigger it. I recall the last 2 times it crashed was once riding through Anvil, and the most recent yesterday when I was filling out my CPs
