I made this thread about the lag i notice. The game just freezed frequently. For me this seems fixed, but it seems like not fixed for all. I know for sure the devs try to improve the performance in every patch. For example: There were frequently crashes fixed too. So i feel it starts getting better and better (overall), but i really agree with you: They arent done with this issue. They have some work to do and i hope they will fix your freezes soon too.
Is there already a thread in the report a bug section about your kind of freeze? If not, then make one.
