Game not responding when I approach areas with dense player-owned housing

I'm already using the DX9 workaround for the DX11 bug, and I have my graphics turned down to the lowest setting.

Title: Game freezes when approaching areas with dense row housing
Reproduction Rate: Occasional
Blocker? Yes, game crashes and needs to be restarted
Details: Admittedly I have an older system, but it's within the specs. When I approach a densely inhabited and decorated area like in some parts of Ardoris, my game freezes, with a couple of my CPU cores pegged. Sometimes it recovers after a few seconds, other times I need to kill the process and log in again. I'm guessing it's because the system is trying to manage / draw all of the objects in the player housing area.
Steps to Reproduce: Approach one of the player-inhabited areas of Ardoris
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8) System RAM: 12270
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series GPU RAM: 1011
SotA.EarlyAccess.Win.64.511.Date.11.21.16
Area: Ardoris
Area Display Name: Ardoris
Loc: (98.0, 53.0, -100.1)

It would be really nice if there were a video option like a draw distance or clipping plane distance that could be adjusted based on system specs. I'm also wondering if the game is trying to draw objects inside the houses in addition to the ones visible from the street.
