PS5 Freezing every minute everywhere

Unfortunately I will have to stop trying to play for now because of this recurring issue. Rebuilding database every now and then doesn't look like a proper way for me.

Same as everyone, random freezes in map or in campain. Using UK language for console. Tried every server. Doesn't seem to crash that much in hideout or cities. Not using MTx. Using wired connection.
Yesterday I tried to push through a rather promising logbook but died 3 times during 10 sec freezes and got back to main menu (+died) 3 others.. Couldn't even get past through half the explosions that I had lost all 6 portal and my xp bar on this issue.

Feels like making a step forward and a step backward. Rather sad.

Not sure if anyone has posted results to this, but on PS5, this issue will crop up, seeminngly out of no where at some point. You will start to freeze/hard lock in maps within 90s of engaging.... wait.... hoping the game recovers, to eventually either have to power cycle the console, or sometimes you get dropped to the login screen.

Whenever this occurs, my steps to get back to working state are as follows:

"

# power down console
# get beverage
# usb cable a controller directly to the console
# hold down the power button on the console to enter safe mode (can let go after 2nd beep)
# select Repair Console Storage ... let it run
# reboot into safemode
# select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database (run both options)
# boot normally
# launch POE

This usually sorts out any issues and allows the game to work normally for an amount of time. I've gone less than 1 hr, up to nearly 3 weeks, before needing to run the above steps again.

This has ONLY been happening with the PS5 native client during both vanilla and Necro Settlers leagues.

PS4 client has been working through out, but suffers badly from lag, missing textures, slow loading screens, etc... and the time lost to the above steps very much feels like a net gain with how bad the Ps4 client is.

Anyhow.. hope this helps.

PS - to clear custom filters/fog of war bug, I simply close POE, launch and load a BG3 save, then relaunch POE, reselect my custom filter and carry on.
