Game crashes to blue screen

Hi, myself and a friend have both been experiencing the game crashing back to desktop on the PS4. It seems to happen during combat more than at any other time, and it’s been doing it consistently since the most recent update.
Anyone else’s having this issue? Fdev aware of it?
 
It happens whilst just flying around in a Haz Res or Combat Zone. Seems to be exclusive to combat...hasn’t happened whilst mining etc. I’ve not fought any Thargoids recently, but I can only assume the same thing can happen.
Doesn’t seem linked to any side menus.
 
Im having the same issue on ps4 pro. Tried open/private/solo, performance/quality mode, boost mode on/off, supersampling on/off, clearing the console cache, restoring database and finally reinstalling the game and nothing seems to work. I have an ssd installed, I thought it might be defective so I popped in the original hdd with the same results. Just bounty hunting in haz res and 30 or so minutes in I’ll notice frame drops and then 2-3 minutes after the game blue screens. It’s really frustrating and I don’t know what else to do.

That’s exactly what happens to me. I played last night and didn’t do any combat and it seemed fine...hoping that a fix comes soon as it could be super frustrating crashing to desktop when fighting a Thargoid!
 
On PS4 and having the same issue. I've sent about half a dozen reports on the PS4 too.

It only happens in areas of intense combat. CZs, Resource Extraction Sites and Nav Beacons (especially Compromised).

I thought maybe it was my Crew member / SLF bay at first, since the NPC voice is already bugged and my Crew member doesn't say most of her scripted lines since the last update either (another known bug I'd imagine). But when I left the SLF Bay and my Crew member at port, it happened again, more than once.

EDIT: I also have 120mb/s internet speed. It's not anything on my end. ED in general has been having lag/stuttering issues quite a bit since the last update. I have a feeling I'll just have to bite the bullet eventually, and buy a Pro, or even a PS5, for ED to run smoothly again. All the changes to the game (over the past year or so) have made it run progressively worse on the standard PS4.

I found a HazRES in LHS 2310 that is placed outside of the planet’s asteroid ring. In the absence of asteroids, I managed to have a 2-3 hour bounty hunting session without crashes or stuttering. I also tried a few compromised nav beacons but the game crashes there just like in a regular HazRES placed within a ring.
 
I'm noticing this irritation. every play session I have 4-8 hours. I will get one Blue screen crash to desktop, and I have to hard reboot because I can't get back into the game. but I can hear the game responding when I click my mouse. My drivers are all up to date. win 10. 16 g of ram.

what gives? oops this was for the PC forums
