I've been experiencing a lot of freezing lately. The game freezes frequently at CWK during the Bat part, at Amoria PQ during the walking stage, and randomly, but mostly at LHC Golems. I just completed 4 runs of APQ, and I crashed twice as soon as we reached the walking stage. On the third run, I decided to remove my pet (I didn’t have Pet Ignore on), and it seems the freezing stopped. At LHC, when this happens, I usually have 3 pets. After freezing occurs, I remove 2 pets so that I only have 1, make sure Pet Ignore is off, and the freezing seems to be fixed. This suggests that the issue is related to pets. I've experienced it on a few different characters with different types of pets, so I don't think it's related to the pet type, but more likely to the pet equips.
I have the exact same problem. I leech with my BS (TJBishop) at FTP, ULU1&2, Skele and Harps and it happened to me almost every time. The main maps it happened are Harps and ULU1&2. I also have 3 pets, 1 with pet ignore and when it happens I just close the client from the task manager because everything else fails to close it. After I close the client I reopen it and it fixes it for a while (around 10 min) until it happens again. This is happening only when I leech or farm. I tried to understand if there is a relation to how much loot there is on the floor but due to the fact that I'm looting with the BS itself there is not much loot on the floor, I pick everything up during every rotation. I didn't seems to find any relation to how many clients are open. I leech with 1 client open and sometimes I have 2 or 3 clients open with stores at fm. I also tried to leech with 2 pets (I need to collect the loot with my BS, I do not have a looter) but it happens with 2 pets also so I just stick to 3 and hope for the best, I didn't tried 1 pet. I always run the IMG version and always updates it accordingly. Hopefully we can find a solution.
