same issue here. just installed patch v.1.3 and now i get the error code instead of the frozen screen. this is a 2 month old problem and still no fix? why? uninstalled app, reinstalled, and back to frozen screen. still cannot load saves. tried all suggestions around forums (clear cache, disable internet for ps4, etc) to no avail.
2d 10h in, so will not be starting over, especially since there's no guarantee that it won't happen again. infuriating for sure. this is a broken game. how unfortunate, as a big Fallout fan, i very much liked this game.
