Yes! Me too! Exactly the same. Thank god I noticed this post as I was going nuts working it out. If it helps I am on a Pimax Crystal Light 120hz with 5090 Graphics Card

FFR On. DLSS Quality.

What VR are you using?

Pico 4 Ultra.

I have also found that going out of VR before pressing ESC stops the freeze from happening.
