Enabling Performance mode seems that it could be a good temporary fix for these issues.

The game does not go into quality mode during split screen. Switching between quality and performance does not appear to have any effect on the freezing.

I also tried dumping all inventory from my characters and resetting their level and it did not have any noticeable effect in the freeze, still lasts 3-4 sec
