havign some problems running around on my ship where the game just locks up and freezes but i can still move the mouse, its happened a few times and only relogging seems to fix it.
I think your problem is related to a much larger graphics problem with this update since it seems like more people are having graphics/directx/stability issues ever since this update. Depending on what operating system you are running you might need to force the game to use DirectX 9.0c and that might mean you have to force it by using compatibility mode with say Windows XP.
