Extreme stutter then Crash to XMB since update

Hello there!

This is my first post for a couple of years, and sad to say i have a problem with the latest update on PlayStation 4 Pro.
Everytime I load the galaxy map the system starts to chug and then crashes to the PlayStation XMB with an application error. i have sent 2-3 PlayStation crash tickets but thought I'd raise the issue here too, To see if anybody else has experienced this. This is particularly concerning to me as I'm on my way back with a metric ton of astro navigational data that will gain me Elite status and a considerable financial reward on return. I tried to follow DW2 a while back in my corvette and nearly made it to BP, but had to turn back as I couldn't plot a course with my meagre jump range! However I want to get back to the bubble or at a civilised station before requesting the transfer to PC. I already own Elite Dangerous Horizons on PC but never put any time in, As all my friends were on PlayStation.
I have at least 300 or more jumps to go but I tried to find a more efficient route and lost my previous waypoints, now every time I log into the galaxy map it chugs and blues screens... the only other thing was I had Spotify opened as well to help me during the monotony of constant jumping... maybe that had a bearing on it? but usually it doesn't effect gameplay.... Also I was playing in solo mode as my PSPlus has run out.... any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. thanks
also if by some 'space magic' it solves itself I'll repost here

I haven't experienced this - but I don't play on PS4 that often. But, when I do, it's without PS+ in solo only so that shouldn't be a factor.

what error are you getting? is it an Elite error code like 'Scarlet Krait' or is it a PS error code?

Yeah its a Playstation error, i'll have another attempt later. if it crashes all note the error code
 
trying the game now cant connect to Frontier servers... are they down? whats going on?...

ok seems to be back now.. ok some progress, after a few failed logins error code Taupe Cobra. ive manged to plot a new course that should take me faily close to Sag A! about 340+ jumps. just have to resist the temptation to replot my route!. So maybe some work was done behind the scenes? maybe a fix server side? not sure perhaps i just got lucky... i'll begin my marathon jump grind again! if any bugs crop up i'll post back here. i request to leave this thread open at least for a couple of days thanks o7

just done 110 jumps without incident... tried to plot a new course to Sag A.... stuttered and blue screen crash... so much for it being fixed..
I had no spotify open this time so that isnt the culprit. Seems to start stuttering and crashing when calculating long distance routes 10,000LY+

Sony Error Code CE - 38700- 8

WELL.. an update. i managed to jump all the way back to Sag A... took me about 5 hours or so... was repairing my ship with an auto maintenance module when just randomly exploded... months of scanning data gone. probably trillions of credits and my 2nd Elite rank. what a waste of time. no idea what destroyed my ship. ive had a guts full of this game now. maybe i'll still transfer in a few months when i ve cooled down a bit... maybe. at least id keep my ships. and about 200 million credits. gutted
 
Give customer support a message they might be able to help.
nahh i already accepted the respawn, besides by the time the account transfers come into affect i might have found my mojo again.

BTW love your profile pic, it shows you have played the best version of Elite! i myself managed to get to Deadly rating... last time i checked somehow the battery backed up save on my NES cartridge still worked and i still have my save game! 30 years later haha

i used to run computers & machinery to Isonnor and furs & beverages to Quirtiri with tech stops to Zaonce! unfortunately this route isnt available on Elite Dangerous! lol

Indeed as Felix said, that doesn't sound right, hopefully Customer Support can set you right...

Also it'll probably help them and you if you saved a video of the incident - which i'd certainly say was warrented here!

MAYBE there's a game-breaking bug with the repair module!

Anyway, best of luck with getting it all back :0 :D .

im afraid not, i instinctively pressed the ps4 share button but it only recorded 30 secs of nonsense! i had hoped to review the footage too see what happened but unfortunately thats not possible. so im afraid i'll just have to bite the bullet and accept the death haha. had a few drinks now dont care so much! lol
