Gateway option disappeared. Couldn't login, then all settings were reset to defaults.

Please test the following GGG. This is happens after hotfix 2 for the 0.3.1

1. Enter map, do Ritual or whatever, open menu and choose Exit to Char Selection
2. Select L2 + X to spawn in the hideout (at this point game went to premaload. After 3 minutes of loading hideout I forced quit the game)
3. Open the game. All settings reset to defaults and there we no Gateway option.
4. Click LOGIN and nothing happens it just shows a lot of "Connecting to the server" messages in the bottom left of the screen.
5. I had to do multiple game restarts and then complete reinstall to make it work again.
6. Once reinstalled the gateway appear, and after login, the game put me back in map that was is perma "Game Paused" mode. Had to exit to char screen to try L2 + X to spawn in the hideout, this time it worked.
7. Played a couple maps and game crashed again (with the the same issue you claimed you fixed): audio stops playing and in 5 seconds game crashes.

So what did you fix? The game became even worse.

Same crap. You launch the map, get a ping spike for about two minutes, and then it kicks you out to the menu. I deleted that crap. game poorly optimized for the PS5 Pro. gGG shame on you.
