'Initializing World' Game-breaking Bug

Version
2.0
Platform
PS5
Stuck on 'Initializing World'. Bought the game for both me and my wife and we have been playing that save for days and now cant load it (Gets stuck at 'Initializing World', annoyed at all the wasted time and effort if the save is lost, and dont really want to risk starting over again until the bug is resolved. This is a serious game breaking bug and devs need to fix it asap. What is the point in playing if your save can just stop working at any moment making all your time building/crafting looting all for nothing. I am also annoyed that I have purchased 2 copies of a game that I can not play. I can only hope the devs read this and all the similar posts people have made and fix it asap.

We didnt have anything excessive on the file to cause a crash. Only walls around a house not a giant structure. only 1 forge and only just crafted 1 minibike.

As I said "Start a new save" is not a fix as it will almost certainly happen again, especially as many other people on various platforms are having the same issue. So I will not start another game until the issue is resolved.
 
Reproduction Steps
Unknown - Game was around 24 in-game days in and exited the game correctly.

Only thing I can suggest as a quick "see if it works" method is restarting your PS5 a few times. Usually works for XBOX so maybe it will help you, but I know it sucks either way though 🙁

There was a save corruption bug fixed today in the 2.1 stable release. If that is what happened to you, starting a new save is the only option. Sorry.
