Please fix the freezing at critical points in the game.

I'm posting this in the hope that the development team can investigate what appears to be a serious freezing issue occurring during critical endgame encounters.

I am currently playing a level 92 character, and this issue has become increasingly frustrating because of the impact it has on progression.

The game runs normally through the majority of a map. I can clear monsters, move between areas, and play without any noticeable performance problems. However, when I reach a boss encounter or a high-intensity situation involving multiple rare enemies, the game will suddenly freeze.

When this happens:

* My screen completely freezes.
* I cannot move my character.
* The game does not immediately disconnect.
* I can still activate health flasks and abilities.
* Friends watching my character through Discord can see my character continuing to take damage and interact with the game world while my screen remains frozen.

After approximately 15–20 seconds, a loading gear icon appears, and the game finally catches up. Unfortunately, by that point my character is often already dead.

The problem is especially punishing because of how endgame progression works. At level 92, every death results in a significant experience penalty. I was previously over halfway through level 92, but repeated deaths caused by these freezes have reduced my experience progress to nearly zero.

What makes this particularly discouraging is that these deaths are not occurring because of player mistakes, poor mechanics, or difficult encounters. They are occurring because the game becomes unresponsive during the exact moments where responsiveness matters most.

I have already experimented with various graphics and performance settings and have tried the common troubleshooting suggestions available to players, but the issue persists.

I am not posting this to complain or assign blame. I genuinely enjoy the game and want to continue progressing through endgame content. I'm simply asking that this issue be investigated, because when a freeze during a boss fight or critical encounter almost guarantees a death and an XP loss, it becomes extremely difficult to make meaningful progress.

If other players are experiencing similar freezes specifically during bosses, rare enemy packs, or other high-intensity encounters, I would appreciate hearing whether you've found any reliable solution.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope the team can look into it.
