Disney Dreamlight Valley crashing on PS4

All I want to do is play @DisneyDLV on my PS4 but it legit crashes at least every 5-10 minutes and is now unplayable. Like, I know it’s in early stages. But I did pay for it. I just want to play.

The game crashes occur while doing almost anything like entering a house, opening the main menu and even while picking up a memory. It repeatedly throws a combination of two (CE-38700-8 and CE-34878-0) error codes.

This is incredibly frustrating for players as they can’t even sustain in the game for more than 10-15 minutes because it keeps kicking them out.

It seems that the issue started troubling players ever since the recent September 15 update.
