Not sure what's causing this issue but any activity like dungeons or battleground my game feezes freezes in the middle of combat. I cannot complete quests because of this.
@trueprestige Which platform? server? what are your system specs? When did this start? It's pretty much impossible to give help unless you mention useful details like those.
There have been other threads reporting fps loss and stutter (PC) during combat; this sounds like it might be the same issue. ZoS mentioned in this thread that the micro-freezes (stutter) appear to be happening on all platforms, although it is only affecting SOME players. A fix will be implemented in a future patch... (next patch on PC will be June 29).
As posted here, there is a known issue related to skills that are earning XP, and will be fixed in an incremental patch. Some players have reduced the issue by removing skills from their skill bar that are not maxed out.
Hey Just to give an update it's happening more frequently now on the Xbox. for instance, tonight my game has frozen three times in the Chid-Moska Ruins.
procedurally
1. aggro from mob,
2. mob cast spell or effect (some whirling noise)
3. game freezes
this theme seems to happen in PVP as well I engage in a fight they cast something my client freezes.
It really starting to pull from the game.
to the devs I really don't know how to give more information I've recorded clips, here's one
Hi @trueprestige, it looks like the "stutter/freeze when gaining XP" issue was fixed (at least on PC) in the v6.0.8 update on June 29. I'm assuming that this fix should have been included in a subsequent console update in mid-July or thereabouts. So the issue you are seeing is probably not the same thing.
This looks instead like previous freeze issues that can/have occurred in graphics-intensive situations, especially in trials and PvP. I have no idea how to troubleshoot that sort of issue, especially on XBox1, but I recommend that you call in to open a ticket with ZoS support to see if they can assist.
One key thing to remember is that this is a very network-intensive game, so you need a really solid internet connection, and might see unexpected issues if anyone else is sharing your internet connection, especially if they do any data uploads.
Note that you do not get any XP when crafting items for writs, only when turning in the writs, so that should not trigger the other issue anyway.
Several of us have had the game seize up and freeze on Maxus the Many in Maelstrom Arena. Same thing every time you try it (and I've tried it over 30 times). Is it happening in MA for anyone here?
