PoE 1 Crashing PS5 Pro

Game keeps crashing/freezing. It's crashing on the main menu, in town, and if too many vfx are occurring on screen i.e, the first elite that rains fire on you, is a guarantee crash. I cant even get to the mud flats. I've seen other threads about the game crashing for them but none for console thus far so i wanted to put this out there. Hopefully a fix is on its way so i can actually play the game.

EDIT: I tried turning off HDR and even dropped frame rate from 120hz down to 60hz but game still froze even on menu screen. I re-downloaded the PS4 client and have had 0 freezes since. I even ran into fire rain elite in first area and fought him without game freezing. The issue lies in the PS5 game client.

Same exact issues still happening to me and two of my buddy's. Can't do anything at all
