Freezes since Incursion act 6

Hi there,
I'm momentarely unable to enjoy playing poe.

For some reasons my gpu (GeForce 940MX - 2g) has loads between 90 - 100% when entering a town (especially Lioneyes Watch (act 6) ... i can't enter other instances due to the instant freezes at LW).

I lowered the graphic settings (lowest values possible) ... poe still freezes at LW (act 6).

The CPU (i7 6500U@2,5ghz) stays at approx. 20 - 30% load (peak was at 40% last time, i was able to play ... in act 5)
RAM (DDR4) is used up to 20%, dring poe-sessions.
PoE runs from a SSD.


I ran "tracert" via cmd.exe (admin) 3 times ... (frankfurt server).
All went similar ... pings around 40ms ... highest was 60ms ... lowest was 12ms ... no package losses reported so far.
At some stages only two of three calls are responded to ... but this is not new and an issue already known to the ISP (no probs with that ever since playing poe).

I'll keep tracing, and will report any changes ...
Update: 5.th run reported a package loss (timeout) at hop 11.
6.th run ... all OK.

I'll try with WinMTR too ... but that will have to wait until sunday ...

I guess it is just a temporal problem getting a fix anyway ... maybe the reason is a new league plus lots of players wanting to try the new content (wich is amazing ... i love it).
This adds to my frustration ... because i like the new incursion Theme, and i want to play it.

All i can do atm, is trying to reach the waypoint (for travelöing to my HO) or the exit to the Coast ... but i'm not willing to do this thru act 6, until my char does not have to spawn in LW enymore ... maybe other towns don't mess up my gpu that way.

Maybe someone is able to help ...

I've had no freezes since 3.3.0.b hotfix.

Whatever was done, it fixed my problem ... thanks 4 that.
I had no freeze since the hotfix ... and this is on both systems (Win10 x64, i7-6500u, GF 940MX .... AND Win7 pro x64, Athlon II x3 345, HD5770).

Now I'm waiting for patch 3.3.0.c to complete ... i hope the game will stay stable after that huge amount of bugfixes and improvements.

regards
