Well, this is awesome..

The game crashed at 'Church of Maja' while going for the last couple of Mask Lines i was missing but the game crashed..

Out on the PS5 menu the console directly gave me 'couldn't synchronice' error. I should've chose the save file in PS Cloud and not the save file on the system..

Because i chose the savefile on the system (Because the savefile in PS Cloud was from more than 10+ hours of progress earlier), i'm now completely fucked.
Everytime i load the game, the 'Continue' option is visible but everytime i try to load the savefile through that (or load save) it goes to an indefinitely loading screen with frozen loading bars showing up a few seconds in.

I've tried the following:

-1 Level profile trick: The savefile still shows my level 104 character with ~40+ hours of play time at 'Church of Maja. But i still tried starting a new save file and quit after auto-save icon showed and disappeared = didn't work/do anything besides still an indefinite loading.

Brute force-close game 10 times in a row after waiting ~45+ seconds.

Reinstalling the game = didn't fix.

Clearing system cache = didn't fix.

Rebuilding database = didn't fix.

Anything else i can try or am i completely screwed over and need to start over from scratch?

I'm done! Number 288 platinum in the bank!

PS5: Awesome - just lost my 40 hours savefile to a soft-lock location after a crash and it overwrote my save file in PS+ so i have no backup savefile...
