Constant crashes on ps4

Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem, but for the last 4 days i've tryed to play again, even after promissed myself not to go through this buggy mess of a game, but 'ive had like 5 or 6 crashes a day and a whole lot of graphics glitching out for some reason.... Like skills and monsters dont load or smt and just blink on the screen or disapear completely... guess ill return to diablo again....

From all I've seen PS4 is not a good choice for poe. Either built in hardware issues or coding, Xbox has relatively few issues compared to PS4. Not much you can do but eat blue screens and wait sadly

Muting your sound effects in the options helps with crashes fairly noticably. Before 3.9, doing so removed crashes almost entirely. Since 3.9 a new wave of crashing issues appeared along with the graphical glitches (pop-in, artifacting, etc).

The sound beeing mute actualy helped, but since i've created this post the graphics and textures glicthing are getting worse... sometimes you can't even see whats in your screen... looks like a game beeing played during alpha testing....

I've had quite a lot of freezes especially when starting the game, i've been getting a lot of black screen freezes at the same screen (black screen between poe splash screen and GGG logo screen), freezes at the character select screen and some crashes especially in act 4 which makes me worried for act 9.

I've read about a few things here and there so I'll share what using atm.

I'm using a ps4 pro, cat7 cables and a 4k smart philips tv. Speed test on the ps4 shows roughly 200 mbs. 400 mbs from spectrum.

For the video output I changed it from automatic to 2160 rbg. Hdr off.

For the audio output I changed it from linear pcm to bitsteam Dolby.

PlayStation HDCP I disabled.

Truth be told sometimes before these changes id crash right away in the delve. It was terrible. Since the changes ive only crashed once in a week durring a metamorph fight while popping vaal summon skeletons and flame dashing frantically.

Hope this helps fellow exiles.

I have been averaging two crashes a night according to my error event list. Also see menu hang-ups and loading into just black screens. I know it’s FTP but I do try to support GGG because I really do like the game. Just hope they are able to get us straightened out.

My only problem is with the fact that the game is barely unplayabe... i have supported ggg both on pc, back when i had one, and on console. But unfortunetly this is a problem since the release on ps4, and with poe2 and all the other stuff beeing worked on i dont think there is much ggg will do for us console players... we are a tiny percentage after all....

Same issues here. I've had more lag deaths in the little bit of time I've been playing this month than through all of Blight league. I get teleported into the middle of packs quite often when charging my Scourge Arrow and just get murdered.

Additionally, I've had at least one crash per session every time I've played. Probably just one because I get frustrated and switch to a different game then. I really like the game and hope it gets fixed, but gosh dang it's tough to play right now.
