PS5 and PS4 version keep crashing

I am playing PS4 and PS5 version of POE1.
But it keeps crashing after 2-5 minutes of playing. I deleted cache and rebuilt database but it is still same and can't play.
I played PS4 and PS5 version both but both have same issues after recent patch update.

Same problem. Game ran fine for most of 3.26 (outside of disconnects), now is unplayable.

CONSTANT crashes for the last few days. I can get in at most 2-3 maps before stuttering for a few seconds into a full freeze. To add: The console itself works fine after the freeze, I can exit the game and close it without a problem. This is on a base PS5.

Same issue for last several days. Have played all league without issues. Global chat advised deleting and re-installing which helped with some of the latency issues but still crashing multiple times per map making the game un-playable.

Since an update a few days ago I am unable to play the game. Every map game crashes or freezes. Right at the end of the league lv 98. Seems to be a pretty consistent issue on PlayStation 5.

I've encountered the same issue - my game stops sometimes and the console itself keeps working properly and allows to close the application in a regular way. I've noticed my game freezes at certain areas, maybe it could help:

- Delve - Vaal Ruins
- Atlas maps - Vaal corrupted sites
- The Temple of Atzoatl

If this is not a simple coincidence then my guess there is a Vaal creature or a Vaal spell which causes the crashes.

Update: I was testing my theory and tried doing heists only (there are no Vaal creatures in heists as far as I know). My game stopped in safe zone, so the problem is not related to Vaal.
