Is the total ESO.EXE lockup ever going to get fixed?

fromtesonlineb16_ESO

Since 1.6 I get regular if not frequent total lockups of the client:

1) all screen rendering freezes, mouse cursor disappears, no keystrokes work, if you ALT-TAB away and come back you get a blank screen, clearly the rendering engine is frozen.
2) sound carries on, including any sound effects that were active when the lockup happens
3) music plays uninterrupted
4) ESO.EXE uses 0% CPU and al memory alloc/frees cease
5) Task Manager has to be used to kill it

There is NO evidence this is a hardware lockup, no evidence of a graphics driver fault, everything points to a software lockup of the kind due to semaphore deadlocks and the like.

Very, very , VERY occasionally the freeze will end after a few seconds or even longer, but usually it never does.

Its impossible to /bug for patently obvious reasons but there have been many reports of it on here since release it's implausible ZOS don't know about it.

What do I do if ESO is crashing with the error "ESO has stopped working"?
