I was in a River District sewer, went AFK to use the restroom, came back to the Cryptic Error window... This happens every couple days, and sometimes multiple times a day, no real pattern to speak of. Graphics drivers are up to date. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since RD update i have encountered numerous crashes to desktop while changing instances or changing characters, am running amd -seemed to happen more on my 2 mains which are doing the RD campaign. But, no crash during actual game play just the start loading new screen and crash scenario.

I had a strange one, one of my characters crashed to desktop if it logged out in the area of RD where the quest givers are. Other characters can log out there, but that one character crashed every time to desktop. Have just tried since the patch and it seems to be able to log out there.
Have also had the perennial crash that impacts when a lot of rewards are being given out. This impacted me on the ship in RD but hits other people on dragonflight. The irritation is that not only do you lose the rewards from the raid you just did, in RD you lose progress on the mercantile daily from minutes before if you donated stuff to rituals or to fire the ship up. Last time it happened to me, I came out of dig at 40+%, donated twice to get to 60+, completed the ship, crashed on the rewards and went back to 40+ not 60+.
Today I've had the Connecting to login server crash about 80% of the time when changing toons. This is hell when trying to invoke or do professions (or figure out where all my refinement is...)
These server crashes are getting worse. I've started to get more client crashes as well recently.
I can attest to that - although it's not crashing. since the last patch, I've been experiencing disconnects from the server. most starts from a notification that the "server is not responding" and then disconnects (sometimes it stays but when it persist again, it disconnects eventually).
I've seen more crashes/disconnects most of the time when I run dungeons since the last patch.

Been having random crashes for the past few weeks.At least 3 every day. Lost out on multiple chests in FBI due to crashing at the chest
the only time i have ever crashed was due to the sever being overloaded or having to much lag where i also had to do a brand new install of windows when dx11 wasn't working right
Not a single crash for a very long time. 4 hours or more playing per day. 8 toons with 6 invocations per day, logging in and out a lot. Most of the time within the 1st gameclient.exe session. No disconnects either. Even the annoying "Connecting to the loginserver, please wait ..." 1 minute screen while changing toon is an issue of the past since approx. February.

I'm seeing quite often the freeze when changing area. The bar loads to a certain point then stops. If I click on the screen I get the message that the application is not responding and have to stop it from the task manager. It never happens when I'm entering a dungeon via queue, just when I'm switching area via the map or sometimes when the first map is loading when I switch character.

I get the same and it happens frequently but then I am forced to use linux right now, only had that issue on Windows with Dread Ring but they resolved that a long time ago.
