I just experienced this same issue about 2 days ago on my PS4 game. I had started a new game since patch 1.04 as it had broken my game (I could not load saves). Running on 1.04 seemed pretty good as I think I only had one game crash in about 100 hours of play (a lot as idle play though).
The game consistently crashed in the same way as the above mentioned as well as a few other ways.
- If I talked with an NPC/trader (not even just opening the trade menu)
- If I created more craftable items (specifically cutting logs into 2 branches and 1 chips). I think making items from one resource and turned into one item were fine.
I did try to reduce my inventory as well (eating food, potions, etc) and tried to craft again and it did do something, but it just let me craft a few more items and then it happened again.
I then troubleshooted on a day older save. Not much item quantity difference would be between these two saves but the error never occurred on this older save. I would have only picked up maybe one re-spawn worth of craftable items and gear, but I crafted about 100 logs into branches and the crash did not occur. On the bad save I would crash after 2-6 logs or so.
I will be continuing play on this older save that works, but I am wondering if I could have maxed out (or near maxed out now) the number of items, or if this is probably a similar error to what Neorealist had.
Is this an issue with games started before Patch 1.05? If so, should I start a new game again?
