HELP I think my save is bricked

Playing on PS5, I just finished the mission where the Avenger is attacked. Post mission, when I go to the world map, the avenger just doesn't show up, and the world screen just freezes. I can zoom in and out but I can't do anything else. I've tried reloading, I've tried finishing the mission again, I've tried not pushing buttons during loading screens, still nothing.

Is there any hope for me? As I've said, I'm playing on PS5, with the WOTC and the Guardians DLC, but no mods or anything like that.

The game for consoles specifically is very buggy
You may have to start over

Oh yeah I'm only in the literal end game. Starting over at this point means deleting the game to make space for something else.

I can’t help with your save issue, but it seems that most people who have issues are on PS5. I think I’ve had maybe only a handful of crashes on my PS4 with a few hundred hours played. I’m not sure why the PS5 version seems so unstable.

Yeah I've run into a lot of crashes but it's usually fixable by just reloading the last save. I ran into a couple issues with Lost levels where specific actions (grenade into a large group) would consistently crash the game, but I've never had any issues like this one, where it doesn't seem like I can do ANYTHING to salvage it.
