I have serious problems every time i enter (with party) into these two zones: sands and the orchard.
All the other zones are ok, only these two gives me troubles.

Every time i enter them (while i am in a party group) the game freeze and totally stuck.
Even the task manager is blocked and i cannot terminate the process (the game)
So i am forced to switch to desktop and close windows (exit and reload windows from the start page).

Anyone else is experiencing this ?
any suggestion to avoid it ?

I am using windows 10.

Athlon 5150/APU radeon 8400 integrated.

I have heard setting your dynamic memory min/max to set recommended size helps.

Are you using a 32bit OS? (Right click on Start button>System>System Type)

(about the 2 min mark after the initial show and tell)

paging file size - set min and max to 1.5 times recommended size (depending upon hardware).

setting both to same fixed amount prevents system from 'thrashing' when it needs to update.

Also - remember to defrag your page file so that it is in one continuous block on your HDD. SDD shouldn't need to do this as much.

Hope this helps.

also - if you have multiple drives, you can always move the paging file to the fastest drive. (even more advanced topic)

yes 32bit

Everyone I've ever known that had this problem fixed it by going to a 64 bit OS. That would mean a completely fresh install of the OS though because there is no 32 to 64 upgrade.

I'm a 64 bit user and having the same issues - trying out the fix outlined above now. I upgraded ram thinking it may be the issue but it wasn't the case - ddo pushes to under 2gb of ram anyway. SSD reinstall also didn't prove fruitful.

please tell me if it helps. I always have mine set this way (since back before windows were see-through), although once had to fix after the fact because did a fresh install and doing this helped with some lag and freezes.

If you don't want to buy a whole new 64 bit computer, you could try the DDO Preloader (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/420738-How-to-make-the-game-loading-faster-DDOPreload-official)

It loads the game files in windows cache.

The game launcher now has this feature built in. Go to Options and it's there under "pre-caches game logic" or something along those lines.
