Recently, COD: Warzone received the ‘Pacific’ update, which brought new features such as the new Caldera map, new weapons, new items for character customization, etc.
But, since the update arrived, many COD: Warzone players have been experiencing issues such as multiplayer data packs going missing, performance drops, freezing or crashing.
However, in case you have a PS5 and are suffering from freezing or crashing issues in Warzone, there are some workarounds that you can try while an official fix arrives.

Multiple reports from PS5 players point out that Warzone is constantly freezing or crashing. This is frustrating as they cannot enjoy the game.
The potential workarounds: disable 120Hz and demand texture streaming
That being said, there are a couple of workarounds that reportedly help mitigate the issues. Basically, it is recommended to disable 120Hz and the demand texture streaming feature.
It should be noted that, according to some reports, just disabling the demand texture streaming feature mitigate the crashing. But, it is not completely resolved, making it necessary to deactivate the 120Hz too.
