POE1 PS5 freezing still

Unable to finish any area in POE1 Phrecia league for the past week. System locks up and freezes within 1 minute. Pressing any button but the one taking back to the PS5 home menu does not do anything. No error message. Just a freeze up and you need to close the game. This occurs weven while sitting in the character selection screen. Just happened to me again. Please acknowledge and inform of a fix. Almost acts like a major memory leak after the last patch. Game was fine before that.

Thought I was the only one experiencing this issue. Issue started 2-3 days ago. PS5 client. Will freeze 10-15 minutes of game time.
