Hello PS5 Warframe community,
Any update on this issue? I'm still having it on my PS5.
From having the same problem over and over, I figured out it happens when some player joins the session and is being loaded. It happens almost always when I'm with cross-platform enabled. When entering an open world city, it's 100% sure it'll freeze. Sometimes it happens when someone joins a mission that is already running. I couldn't proc the freeze with cross-platform disabled, maybe because it seems there is no one around in the time zone/ region I'm playing, no if there is no one to join, there is no freeze. Limiting my ping to more restrict values (I'm testing aroung 200ms now) seems to have helped a little, making the freezes less often, but maybe it's just coincidence or the same reason as above.
As a founder member who loved the game and stopped playing back when Parkour 2.0 was implemented (around 2015? not exactly sure), in terms of a "forced" break cause of PC problems, the account merge system in december/23 just put me right back into action. Getting used to play in a controller took it's time, but I did manage to get over it. Now this freeze bug just spoils much of the fun, hindering our open world gameplay a lot, like some users mentioned above.
Hope DE gives this issue some attention, cause we are really in need of it.
