Numerous Freezes / Crashes - Multiple clips provided

Can we please get some Eknowledge here??
We can't push the game in any way and it crashes and our character is killed due to DC...

Is unreasonable that we are abandoned like this :/

Same here

Same here on PS5. Attempting most league mechanics causes an immediate unexpected disconnect. Game just freezes, no option to report the issue to Sony.

Expedition and ritual seem to be the only mechanics that do not crash. Heist has occasional DCs. Really disappointing league for console players.

Same here for me and my friends on PS5. Game has been crashing nonstop at random for all of us for random content and it's never consistent between any of us or even for ourselves. Some days I can run a few rituals before I crash and others every single ritual crashes. The game as a whole has just been in a barely playable state since league start. Every time I log in, the loading screen alone takes actually 3-5 minutes to load into the town and then I stare at Minecraft pixels for another 3-5 minutes. Same for every map I do - I have to wait at the start for invisible enemies/map layouts to render and load, which it never does for synth maps (they never load and I only see blue shades where they should be). This is just sad and I really thought console poe was on the upswing after Affliction league. Good to see we are once again treated as second-class citizens not even worth replying to yet they still want our money and will happily spam sales at us without using any of that money to actually fix player experience.

We're now getting ready to swap over to D4 just to play a game that actually works. Here's to going back to eternally hoping that the next league won't be more of the same pile of shit! I'm sure I'll be back a week or two into next league to repeat those same exact words...

GGG can we please get some response on this??

At least remove death penalty or something while a fix is being developed.
Levelling past 95 is just crazy painful on console with death on disconnect because of software issues.

This is getting ridiculous

Stuck at 94. Think I would at least be at 96 if "Unexpected Disconnection" hadn't wiped my 10% 25 times this league. Accidentally step into a deli mirror? Bye bye XP.

Same issues since league start here as well.

Steps I’ve taken so far:

Delete and download full client again. This resolved custom loot filter for me but had not resolved crashing freezes and DCs.

Turned all settings either way down or off in options. Sounds, effects, etc. no luck

Manually specified which servers to run from. All NAmerica and tested with Asia and AU as well. Same behaviour regardless

We are 3 weeks into the league. I’m trapped in level 92. Way off usual pace.

@GGG Any eta any or fix ideas we could at least attempt would be very helpful.

Double Feature: Two crash deaths on back to back maps. I was 75% into level 98... now at 55% :(

92% to 95. Run a Kirac quest that has Harbingers. Another disconnect death.
