Game gets stuck at load screen repetitively

PS5 - DOESNT MATTER IF YOU CHANGE SERVERS, START PS5 IN SAFE MODE CLEARING CACHE, ENABLE/DISABLE CROSSPLAY, CLOSE GAME, REOPEN, TURN OFF CONSOLE, RESTART. NOTHING WORKS. VERY IRRITATING GETTING LOCKED OUT OF THE GAME FOR 40+ MINIUTES. I JUST WANNA PLAY.

its definitely the new patch.

if you are getting stuck in loading screen, do this

1. quit the game and restart

2. at the character screen, log in with 2 different characters. once you do that, the character thats is stuck will port back to your hideout.

3. once you are at the hideout, log out with the second character and go back to your hideout. the bugged map should work now. IF it doesnt, do the whole process again and start a new map after you logout with the second character.

its been happening to me a more since the new patch (ps5 pro)

hopefully it will be fixed sooner than later
