Darksiders 2 - DE on PS4 pro: freezes, crashes, etc

Darksiders 2 - DE on PS4 pro: freezes, crashes, etc - Flatlay of Gaming Equipments

As a PS Plus member, I downloaded Darksiders 2 DE earlier this month to play it on my PS4 Pro.

Except the video introduction, the game is freezing / crashing almost every minute I'm playing.

I try a lot of things, including:

  • disabling high quality shadows
  • disabling damage indicator
  • disabling Boost Mode (on the PS4 settings)
  • disabling subtitles

That's too bad, I played for 5 minutes and it seems to be a fun game.

Any tips or help?
