I've always recieved lockups during loading but those I never cared about I just needed to go to the desktop and kill the game. But its just after those un- documented patches (although as you say they might be occuring just after I recieve a lockup during loading) that are occuring just prior to the start of the games constant crashes.
Others get un-documented patches right? I am sure I've seen posts about it before. As I recieved this back from the techies;

Hello,
There should not be any "undocumented patches". This behavior in itself should not occur. If your client is attempting to download files and gets stuck trying to do so then I'm afraid that there may be some conflict occurring with your anti-virus, firewall, or any other background applications that may be running while NF is running.
It may be helpful to try port forwarding TCP ports 8001 and 16671 in your router settings (please check with your router manufacturer documentation for assistance). You may also flush your DNS cache:
3. Clear the cached DNS entries: a. In Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start, type cmd on the Search box and press Enter b. At the command prompt, type the following command, ipconfig /flushdns and then press Enter c. Type exit and then press Enter to close the Command Prompt window
If the issue continues I'm afraid that the best solution to try for this may be a thorough reinstallation of the latest NF client. However, before doing so, please try just using the manual patch:

Sorry for the frustration and inconvenience,
