I've done some searching and also asked on the Discord and I have found no solution.
Tried making the game and launcher an exception through Windows Defender as it's the only antivirus on my computer. And it still freezes up every 30 or so seconds for 1 to 2 seconds.
Note: Windows Defender isn't even on as I don't use any anti viruses.
I tried the same through Firewall by allowing it through and then after that just turning off the firewall as the Discord suggested.
Even after doing that, the game still freezes every few seconds... it seemed like it was doing it more frequently actually after turning off the firewall.
Kind of glad the firewall wasn't the issue as in that specific situation I don't feel safe not having my firewall on at all.
What else could cause it to do this? As at times it's starting to get annoying. Especially when it does it near enemies and sometimes I aggro without trying to due to my character is still moving when the screen locks up and it continue moving until an enemy is right in my face due to the enemy as well is still moving while the display froze.
