I'm also concerned that they won't be able to fix the freezing, but I still have some hope that things will turn out good. My main thing is that I want some more gameplay just like thousands of others waiting for the same thing.
If you're having trouble with freezing, turning Music and Radio completely off in the settings helped me a lot.
Sometimes it will freeze trying to load that song when you walk into a place with a radio on and freezes (Freeside...)
If enemies come at you it will try to load the actiony background music and thus freezing because there's so much going on.
If you're desperate, it helps. Also don't make too many new saves, try to keep a maximum of three and just overwrite.
