Post patch crash blues..

I am not seeing crashes, but definitely numerous issues...
Update from v1.58 to v1.60, PS4 running latest PS4 OS version.
Issue 1: Galactic Map Display Broken
When navigating around the Galactic Map, the "Square Button" on the right of the controller can be used to switch between horizontal and vertical cursor movement. Except now, with 1.6.0, when set to horizontal cursor movement, the 4-way-arrow cursor simply disappears. There is no way to see where my cursor is pointing.
Issue 2: Galactic Map Destination Selection Broken
With the new version, it used to be possible to navigate to a desired destination and then click one button ("X"?) and that star system would be locked as the destination. This no longer works.
Next, having selected the destination, it used to be possible to ask the Nav Computer to calculate a multi-jump route. That also no longer works.
I tried to capture screen images of the cursor problem, but when I try to grab the screen, I lose the cursor from the captured image. I've never tried this before the 1.60 patch, so I don't know if that's normal, cursor-related behavior, or part of the bug. Either way I can't capture this problem with a screen grab.
Devs/Triage Team... I'm entirely happy to conduct tests or work with you to resolve, if I can be of any help. At the moment the game is entirely unplayable for me on PS4, since I'm building reputation by trading - and I can't select trade routes without the Galactic Map functioning properly.
Footnote
There was one other problem I hit when I first launched after the 1.6.0 update - all of my ships (Anaconda, Python, Asp Explorer, Cobra Mk III, Sidewinder) had lost all their key bindings. Putting that back - especially on the Anaconda, which is tooled up - was a real faff. I've been able to resolve this by manually restoring the configuration I want - but this just feels like a complete and utter lack of basic testing. What's going on?

All of the above and then some. Can’t trust the platform too much, too many strange micro bugs. Fly to a carrier from a CZ…..poof, it mysteriously disappears from in front of you. Turn around and poof, there it is. I don’t know what was in the latest pacth but somebody goofed a lot.
it happens all the time on ps5 on ps4 nothing ever happened to me on ps5 it is impossible to play, it happens that I have been playing here for so long that I don't want to leave it. I lower the game and it throws an error when I open storage modules, when I travel to supercruiser space, when I enter a planet when I want to change something to the ship, I am tired on ps4 it did not happen, all this happens to me more often since the last update. CE-108255-1
Logged 4 CTDs today in the main thread so many crashes on the PS5, managed a few runs of rares to Ram Tah before that but after the first CTD I can’t even get into super cruise...off to do something else and I’ll try again later

I’ve only crashed if I tried to do add or remove any modules while I’m on my FC .
I tried it on a station, absolutely no problems.
This is nuts. Im not sure what the last update was about, but I’m pretty certain it has everything to do with preparation for odyssey release.
I didn’t think it has anything to do with the preparation for EDO, it’s just poor optimaziation and careless keeping for the consoles

I just wish they’d stop work from home, get back into the office, really get some serious work done while focusing on getting EDO for PS released. They’ve had plenty of time to fine tune the PC version. I’m fine with Horizons, but taunting us with Odyssey and dragging their feet with promised release in 10 months and it still ain’t here, well thats somewhere between a tease and unethical.
The problem is, that they really didn’t care, the cms are not the problem, they simply works as a straw between us and Fdev, sure they have some things openly ignored (SRV question till update 9 was released) but I think the fault lie in the upper segment from Fdev, and they simply didn’t care, I mean who decided to bring a MINOR update to HRZN and breake the game on the consoles? We see it more than clear that the consoles (HRZN) cmdrs are worthless for them

I’m in complete agreement with you!
Despite 2 updates back which was labeled for EDO integration, I feel now, more than ever that their empathy is defective. I’m sure they’ll release it, eventually, perhaps when cars start flying, we live on the moon and mars is finally done terraforming.
Indeed, my two coins in here, they are discuss in the background the possibility’s for the consoles and it’s seems to be that they are have a very low interest into the console market.
on a Company way, the facts at the moment
-Odyssee has at the moment not the best reputation
-Fdev stated that they deduct their stocks
-will make it sense to invest into the console version? Especially into the old gen ?
-would it be a good decision to bring native next gen version ? (I think that the cost for that are to heavy for them)
Honestly, we must be Einstein to realizes that Fdev‘s priorities aren’t lay into elite, therefore naturally the less amount which is available would be spend into the health of EDO on pc.
i didn’t think that EDO on console will released soon. And with every week of constantly sells no information as an information, with every month, the possibility and succeed of EDO on consoles will shrink into the macroverse, till the moment when they realizes that it wouldn’t make a sense to bring EDO to consoles, and decide to cancelled it open. And this point is not to far away.
