Same thing keeps happening to me to. Manly on community. I have a couple of characters that I use so I just log off my first character and switch to my other character then switch back to my other character and then it will unfreeze. If that does not work then I just power off my playstation and turn it back on and it will usually unfreeze. Sometimes you have to keep trying it but it will eventually unfreeze. Its really annoying but it will work. It has done this in the past but it seems after the hot fix it seems to be happening more.

I have a second account as well that one also was experiencing the same issues untill today but main account still unable to load in. Update: while load screen was up the in game sound came on and I could hear myself walking and jumping but still stuck on load screen. 🤷🏻‍♂️
