Chimeral Wetlands - Not loading

I am trying to get into Chimeral Wetlands from Character Selection screen. I am just stuck on loading screen. I have tried reloading the game, restarting console. It is not helping. I have tried to load other characters from hideout. They seem to work fine.

This has happened to me and a friend, both on PS5. It also happens in Jungle and Barrens.

Try loading into another character, going to the Chimeral Wetlands with that character, then trying again with the problematic character. This usually solves it for me.

Also, if you're playing co-op, try to have the other player stay in town while you load up the Chimeral Wetlands.

I am also experiencing this bug in the same area (Chimeral Wetlands) in couch co-op.

We are unable to progress.

Base PS5 disc version.

It has been an ongoing issue since the Dawn of the Hunt patch as you can see from the date of this first post.

We took a break for a month and came back to try again, but lo and behold it was still the same issue.
