Default Screen freeze randomly when moving but can hear audio

Randomly I will be running around and the game will just freeze. Screen wont go black but will be frozen and can still hear the audio. I can jump and hear myself jump, open bags, etc.

I will have to /q or close the client to fix.

Problem is I play a druid and quad kite/charm often and have died numerous times from this, which is frustrating and always has me on edge when playing as I don't know when it will happen.

It used to happen every time I used the open all bag hotkey so I disabled that. But I will just be walking around the world and at any turn of the character it will happen.

Any advice?

Thanks

dgvoodoo fixes a lot of these types of crashes. It helps emulate older graphic APIs

Not my video but this is a good instructional for how to set it up if any help with it is needed

Dgvoodoo is one fix (and probably the best to try first), but there are others: https://wiki.project1999.com/Tech_Su...Places_In-Game

Default Fix

I had this exact problem, i was getting the screen freeze every hour if not more at time, it was unplayable as a solo, I looked up soo many forums and ways to fix it with no luck. I then downloaded WinEQ 2.0 and it fixd the problem 100%. I heard Dgvoodoo works too.

Thanks for all the help and advice. I am gonna try Dgvoodoo as I tried WinEQ before and didn't help.

I did find I was able to press (Alt+Enter) to go from windowed to Full screen to unlock it last time it happened. Saved me from another death
