Not sure that's new, depends who you instance with. If it's someone with a massive ping to you, expect massive slide show.Massive frame drops on PS4 in open game mode.

It's so variable in open. One of my big bug bears with the netcode.
but i'm all alone
Oddly I was in Open last night on the PS5 and it was ok but, not instanced either.I hopped on for an hour at 11pm BST and it was basically unplayable in Open, never seen framedrops that bad without being in an instance with any other CMDRS.
Kept checking the history panel, as I felt sure someone was nearby tanking my frame rates.
I gave up after 12pm BST, it just wasn’t playable.
The word slideshow would have been an understatement.
I flew through 5 systems, 2 of which unpopulated, and visited two stations and ran one Low CZ before I gave up.
This sounds exactly like the bug report I made day Odyssey released. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/31064 may 19I hopped on for an hour at 11pm BST and it was basically unplayable in Open, never seen framedrops that bad without being in an instance with any other CMDRS.

Do you mean if the PlayStation crashes with an error code asking you to upload the data?Question : Do I need to report error codes manually?

Uploading that should be enough. I did get confirmation that FDev saw the PS4 reports years ago. I would hope they see both PS4 and PS5 error reports.
In fact I might try and confirm that.
Yeah those.
And the coloured ship name ones that just boot to elite main page.
20gigs?is this before or after the 20gb ver 1.54 patch I wonder?
I ran the 1.54 patch on my PS4 Pro, yetserday then kept crashing out, In my downloads it was downloading under the auspices of 1.54 a 20gb download. It took three hours to fully download. Whether it was forcing horizons down again I am not sure. One chap on the forum here sort of reckoned it was that, as a result of a data corrupt, but I don't have any bad sectors on my HDD - so make of it what you will. At the end of it I got back into the game and was able to launch a ship. Previously I couldn't swap ships, look at the mission screen without black screening, and launch just lifted me up to the pad and then nothing and left me sitting there.20gigs?
When?
PS4 or PS5?
I don't remember any big Elite patches recently, the one i got on my base PS4 about two days ago i reckon about half a gig...
(Though i won't be near my PS4 Pro 'til Sunday night, so i've yet to see the size on it .)
Well if it's working, it's working, though anytime i'm prompted to download a suspiciously big patch, when the notes don't mention much, i generally delete(the patch, not the game) and restart it and/or restart the system...I ran the 1.54 patch on my PS4 Pro, yetserday then kept crashing out, In my downloads it was downloading under the auspices of 1.54 a 20gb download.

Once i was in and rebooted after the download, I have to say it seemed to boot quicker and faster access to menus that what I have previously experienced. Not sure exactly what the tweaks for Horizons actually were, but it was a time of consternation with that download!
Didn't look what mine was on PS5 but, it seems more with what you experienced then 20gb.How interesting, my 1.54 patch on my Pro was 454mb
