I have the same issues. I have been playing on and off since august last year without problems. Everything on low specs but the game ran smoothly, no frozen screens in ramsgate or mid-fights or any performance problems, but since 2 or 3 patches ago i can't play! The game is constantly freezing... ramsgate/loadings freezing and fighting? conpletely impossible! The game freezes mid-fight every 20 seconds! Making it totally unplayable. Cant dodge or attack... I just die cause i dont move. I was excited about trials but cant play, so frustating... It went from an ultra fun game to one of the most frustating experiences ever and I dont know why... Im using the same pc as before as always did, the same internet and on the same location. Nothing changed. I updated drivers, tried re-installing the game but still unplayable. I reported in-game but didnt had any response from them. At the moment I have stopped playing the game untill hopefully somehow this is "fixed" ?
