Hi, I have a new an irritating problem that seems to have started happening since the last client patch. I don't remember the date, but within the last couple of weeks. If there was a patch today, the one before that.



Basically, the game runs just fine and I can play for any amount of time, however... it will randomly lock my system up when playing a cut scene. Not every time, but I'd say about every third or fourth time a cut scene happens.



When this occurs, the game client takes 99% of the CPU, the sound becomes choppy, and all my peripherals stop responding, including the mouse and keyboard. The only thing I can do that that point is to power cycle the machine.



I've tried downgrading to several previous driver versions, none of which has solved the issue, leading me to think it was a change in the way the game client accesses the video card. I haven't seen this happen in any other application, so far. No hardware changes on my end for over 6 months.



Obviously, this is frustrating, since by the time I have rebooted my machine (usually twice, to ensure the drives are marked as clean), I've failed out of whatever instance I was in, which usually means I don't get credit for completing it.
