PS5 Critical Bug: Stuck on "Game Paused" Screen when Traveling

I am playing on PS5 and I am incredibly frustrated, to the point of quitting the game.

Whenever I travel from a Map to Town, or when I use a Waystone/Waypoint to teleport, the game freezes and displays a "Game Paused" message. I lose all control and cannot do anything.

The only workaround is to go to the PS5 dashboard, force close the game completely, and restart from the beginning. This happens constantly. Please find a fix for this immediately.

After the map loaded, I noticed that the network kept disconnecting when I went to the settings. It kicked me out of the game six times within an hour. It prevented me from playing over the weekend.

I wondered if it was because I was connected via Wi-Fi, so I connected with a LAN cable and became completely certain there was a problem with the game.

I've gotten the “game paused” error four times in the last hour, and I'm extremely annoyed by this situation.

I deleted the game, reinstalled it, reset all settings, but it keeps happening again and again. When I arrive in the village, it freezes; sometimes the game pauses, sometimes without warning. I can make adjustments in my inventory, but I can't move.

I am absolutely certain that during the week, when I played for five days straight, I never once encountered the issue of the game pausing or being unable to move after switching maps. However, when I played the game on Saturday and Sunday, I encountered these errors. I think something is happening to the game because of the increase in the number of players at the weekend.

its not you, its the game.

and this is me playing with fast fios broadband.

Well, as most consoleplayers, we will believe it when we see it. GGG promises alot regarding consoles but nothing happens, and if it does, it usually something bad that happens, that's what I learned personally the last 12 months since EA release 6th Dec last year...

But I hope we can "celebrate" the 1 year anniversary of Early Access with a big patch that actually makes the game playable again with 100's of overdue QoL improvements,but my hope ain't that high to be honest.

Sad to see a game with so much potential as PoE2 being butchered on consoles, like why does it have the most clunky inventorysystem on Playstation since original Diablo 1 on PS1?? Makes no sense to be honest. Even D4 has better autosort and stuff and that game shouldn't be better than PoE 1 or 2, but sadly it is.

The patterns from GGG has been (during entire EA): Promise something good before patches / new seasons - underdeliever, rinse repeat.Everything to sell a few more Supporterpacks and MTX.

Hopefully this time they actually mean what they say. But as I stated in first sentence, we will believe it when we see it.

Yeah right now when there is a particuraly big fight with a lot mobs, it just starts randomly pausing, this has never happened before I just randomly started a monk to ride out the rest of the season.

im being optmistic here. end of last season was pretty rough with those sound driver issues which caused so many issues.

i sure hope they are all fixed by now.
