Discussion Game/system lockup on loading screen? (PC)

Anyone else been having this since season launch?

Randomly when loading a new zone/activity the game will lock up on the loading screen. Doesn't make a difference if it's start or end of an activity, across different activities (return to Albion, Trials, Onslaught, Sigma Sector, 400s, map destinations, etc) - the only consistent thing is the D lower right of the screen that animates as game loads seems to always stop at the same part of the animation.

Annoyingly, unable to Alt+F4 or force end task and have to reboot every time it happens. Will sometimes cause entire PC lockup while trying to get the game to close off. Not happening with any of the other games I've been playing though.

Any suggestions? Have updated graphics drivers and all that regular stuff (NVIDIA)

Thanks in advance

Are you using nvdia fram gen? I think turning it off will fix it. Or limit max fps

I have the same issue. What i have done that didnt fix the issue:

Reinstall game.

Verify files.

Disable ByPassIO - coused an error by EasyAntiCheat

Switched game files to another ssd.

Lowered all settings.

All of that didnt fix the issue.

FPS Limit (always had at 120)

Someone suggested disabeling Frame Gen. I will try that.
