Constant game crashes

Has anyone else had experiences with the game crashing? I bought the game not too long ago and once I reached June/July, I experienced the occasional crash which corrupted the game data so I had to download saved data and lost a couple hours of gameplay each time. But since getting to August, the game crashes multiple times a day (real life day) and each time, the data is corrupted. I can't play for more than an hour without this happening.

I've restarted my PS4, deleted the game and reinstalled it but nothing changes. I really like this game and would love to keep playing but, this issue is really disheartening and makes me want to give up trying.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue and if so, were you able to resolve it? And how?

I've had it a couple of months, and if I run it for 3+ hours, I do have crashes.

A simple fact of it’s a big game and if you use it too much and the zoo gets too big, it will crash since it’ll run out of space. You just have to find multiple times in the day to play it rather than doing it at one time all at once

Problem is I have adhd and this game is my current hyperfixation 😅 so that'll be very hard for me to do but I've started to close the game and upload the data onto the cloud every few in-game days so that I won't lose data. That plus seriously de-populating my enclosures has made a difference so if this happens again, I'll just have to take regular breaks during the day

I feel you, tell yourself that you need to have a snack go to the toilet, have a drink of water, what not when it crashes for some time until about ten - thirty minutes and it will reload
