Game freezes began happening randomly

[Paha]

• What is your character name in New World: Paha
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: Saena
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: Today 1.11.2021 The game has started showing rather frequent issue of freezing at times and be unresponsive. It has happened often when opening like engineering crafting table, or just being still and just running around.

Nothing has changed in my machine in between earlier today and the afternoon, when these issues began and so far since start of game I have been fine. Now tonight this has been horrible and frequent. Game freezes, and windows says it’s unresposive, and I can either shut it down or wait for it to response again. I have tried changing drivers back and forth but nothing has changed the situation and I can’t find any log from the machine or windows to account for this particular matter.

• Is this a bug or an exploit: I would assume bug or server exhibiting some issues
• (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: It ruins gameplay, and makes the game unplayable at times, and the risk causes me to be wary of joining any challenging content
• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No

This started happening to me and a few others i spoke to as well. From playing every day without issues, to this afternoon suddenly getting lots of freezes that leads to a crash unless you dont touch your mouse and keyboard for 30-120 seconds.

All of us tried changing settings & updating our drivers, still crashing.

Edit: The irony of me tabbing out to type this and when i tab back - the game freezes.

Same thing happens to me. Never had any graphical issues or freezing. After about 10-15 mintues of playing the game stops responding and eventually crashes. Not very encouraged to restart the game 5 times every hour.
