Anyone else crashing a lot since Clockwork City?

Before the DLC, I was getting almost zero crashes. I mean, like one a week or something insignificant like that.
After the DLC was releasd, I get a few to several each day. I play for 6-10 hours a day, so it's not like I am constantly crashing, but it definitely is annoying, especially if you consider the obscenely long loading times (all of them, mostly the one before you get to character selection).
It might or might not be related to addons, which is something I cannot test, because there's no way I'm playing for half a day without them :D But considering I was using the same ones before, I'd say it's unrelated.
Anyway, has anyone else noticed significant increase in crashes to desktop since the DLC?
I am a PC player.

    Make sure it's not an addon issue. There were some addons causing crashes. Even last night some were still having issues.

    I'm not crashing, but the lag has definitely gotten much worse. Failing a pick-pocket due to lag and getting a bounty because of it really sucks.

    No crashes or lag before or since CWC. Playing on PC EU with no addons and no PvP. I get a slightly extended loading screen before character creation on the first login after every patch but that's standard and always has been.

    While Clockwork may be the best update since Orisinium in terms of content, in terms of gameplay and stability, things got noticeably worse. Audio seems to think I'm in Surround Sound now, and I can't find a setting to turn it off. Tagetting is terrible, and I've started firing abilities at squirrels in the corner of my screen instead of enemies in my crosshairs. Abilities are misfiring, and not just because of the targeting, but also AoEs and heals are also misfiring.

    The game's definitely crashier, and almost always crashes on exit now, leaving me in a black screen that needs the three-fingered-salute to get out of.

    I have been getting crashes since Halloween. It was worse during that period (sometimes 6 times a day), but is now once or twice a day. I have noticed that the loading time from logging in to the char selection screen is much quicker since cwc though.

    My game started crashing again yesterday & today. While exiting a group dungeon. While trying to launch the game. While logging out to the character selection screen. Traveling between wayshrines & so forth. Plus a couple CTD's.
    Had another one when trying to launch the game. This one had something to do with directX 9. Unsure why as my card is DX 11. Its an error I've never seen before.

    Since CwC; shutting down the game leads to bluescreen crash 90% of the time + numerous other issues like lag, fps drop, ping spikes, mysterious folder relocation etc. The situation is so bad now that I a lot of the time cannot even play the game. I log in, select character and ...then it crashes. Rinse and repeat. I see friends swapping between 3-5 characters to get the most gold boxes they can from this event and I feel lucky to even get in to do one a day before I crash (if I get in at all). This might well be when I decide enough is enough and cancel my ESO+ and give up on this game.

    Prior to 3.2, my client had been stable since 2.4. Since 3.2, I crash every day. It usually happens when standing around in Rawl or when zoning into a new area. My PC does not have issues with any other applications.

    I think the performance improvements introduced some crash bugs.

    I started crashing a lot after either one of the last small patches or after some random addon update during the last week.

    During my playing in this last weekend I crashed *every* teleport via wayshrine when I appeared on the destination.

    I also occasionally crashed randomly while standing in the area doing nothing... probably due to some activity that was happening in the area nearby, I presume. The strange part was that in one occasion, I was standing there for almost ~30 mins (watching a stream while doing nothing in game...) and when I alt-tabbed back I moved the camera and that made the game crash.

    Lastly, several times I crashed while riding the horse... it always went like this, an unexpected loading screen appeared, I was stuck for a bit in it... and after I regained control and the loading screen went off, game crashed like if it was after a teleport.

    Then, I decided to test the possibility of an addon being the cause, and I removed ALL addons from my live directory, and started playing the game with no addon (*ugh*), and the crashes stopped :(

    I've been slowly re-adding some of the addons that I could not live without... and so far I reinstalled ~10 of them and still no crashes.

    Then the weekend ended.

    I'll keep testing on Friday (which is holiday for me) and if I ever find the culprit I'll report it in here and in the addon's thread... maybe in hope to find a solution.
