Multiple Wall of Frost casts at the same time cause CRASHES!

Hi,
Server: EU Megaserver, live
When two or more people cast Wall of Frost (any morph) at the exact same time, a random person around them (may include casters) will crash. We were able to replicate the crash in 100% of experimental cases. Sometimes casters crash, sometimes people around them. The only condition is that the cast of both (or more casters) must perfectly match.
After removing frost blockades from our trial group, we were experiencing significantly less crashes than usual. Not all crashes are caused by Wall of Frost, but at least you'll avoid the most frequent ones this way.
I suspect this happens due to graphic extensive frost shield animation but I'll leave this to ZoS to investigate.
Thank you for your time and hope for quick fix.

✭✭✭✭✭I've been experiencing these crashes both on PC NA and EU servers. My screen froze, and the game became unresponsive--the visual from the frost staff wall of elements (with the shield and ice particles) was always present on my character during the freezes. I thought it might have been my graphics card because it's old, at least it's good to know it's a bug. I hope ZOS notices, every trial I've joined recently had crashes from multiple people. Please let us know if this is being looked at @ZOS_GinaBruno

✭✭I can just confirm that Crashes related to shield generated by Wall of Frost are still present. Crashed today during a random normal run via dungeon finder where two people had frost blockades. Lucky me that these guys put their frost staves off when I crashed and after logging in explained to them how Frost shield causes crashes.0 -

✭✭✭Both my group members and I crashed several times since I picked my ice DD back up again the past few days. Can confirm that each crashed happened exactly when I casted my WoE, with my tank also using ice WoE. Starting to feel really guilty knowingly playing my ice character.Edited by emilyhyoyeon on January 3, 2021 5:56PMIGN @ emilypumpkin, imperial pumpkin seller & ghost hunter

✭Didn't crash in Cyrodiil since the last patch. Either I'm lucky, or they fixed whatever was the issue. There were crash fixes mentioned in the patch notes, but nothing specific.no CP PvP PC/EU
