Game Freezes for about 6 seconds every 10 seconds

After playing for about 5 minutes, the game freezes my whole computer and after a few freezes, gives me this error, I had only started receiving this issue today, the last time it happened was about 2 months ago during the in-game event that happened (Lunar new year I think?) I've tried the following, verify integrity of game files, restart computer, clear steam download cache, delete Easy Anti-cheat folder and verify to get it back, and input some commands in the game properties' launch options. The only thing I haven't done is reinstalling the game, as last time this happened this did not fix my issue. I'm unable to currently fix the issue and any help would be much appreciated! 

 

Specs: 
AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor    
16 GB RAM

    UPDATE 2: Seems fixed now, doesn't look like there's a way to manually fix it, best you can do unfortunately is wait for the next game update after the event is over. really wish they'd properly fix this problem. I am aware this isnt much help, but its the best I can offer.

    UPDATE: I've now reinstalled the game, and nothings changed unfortunately. I will continue to post updates as I try other solutions, but I believe for this particular issue, you might need to just wait it out sadly.

    same issue. AMD Ryzen 5 7400F  Radeon 9070 GRE, launch the game, about 3-4 minutes in, the screen freezes for a few seconds, then resumes, and then freezes again shortly after. And after exiting the game, the system remains sluggish, and have to restart to restore normal performance.

    have tried reinstalling the system, deleting and reinstalling the game, verifying game integrity through Steam, and reinstalling the graphics drivers, but the issue persists
