Loading Screen Issue - PS5

So when me and my friends are loading into a area, either 1 of us or all of us get stuck on a infinite loading screen that persists until we dashboard or are kicked from the party. We each load into let's say the first player town separately fine but the moment we try to join up together and move to another area, we get hit with a infinite loading screen. This is the only problem that persists us whenever we play.

This has been happening to me and my friends as well. We tried different things like staggering our entrances into new areas but the results of this are mixed. Currently myself and my friend are restarting the game over and over trying to load into the Trial of Chaos together, seems to be the worst so far for this issue. It might be quite literally my only major gripe with the game so far!

Strangest thing about it is when someone does load in, everyone who is stuck in the loading screen can hear that character performing actions, so it seems like the loading is somewhat successful, but the loading screen itself just won't go away.

+1 Please fix this. It's a terrible gaming experience to have to restart and regroup all the time.
