I'm wondering when the issue with the game crashing on consoles will be resolved, or at all? I don't want to buy the next dlc when I can only play what I have now for only 5 - 10 minutes at a time.

I'm playing on Xbox one

Hey! Our devs are always doing what they can to keep the game as optimised as possible, and are always testing performance thoroughly on both Xbox One & PS4. With games that simulate to the level of detail that Surviving the Aftermath does, it is a reality that the limited memory of consoles can take a hit during longer sessions, and at later stages of the game where there's a lot more going on. Keeping this to a minimum has always been a priority, though, and the latest DLC has been tested to ensure it won't exacerbate any memory demands.

That said, if your game is crashing every 5-10 minutes, that's definitely unusual and could be a problem with something else. Has it always been this way? Does it crash frequently with an older save or when starting a new game as well? If you haven't yet tried clearing the Xbox cache, you could do that and see if it helps!

I recently cleared the xbox cache thinking thay could be the problem and in all honesty, it made it worse. Before I cleared it, it would crash anywhere between 30 min to an hour, hour and a half. I cleared the cache, and now it crashes every 5- 10 minutes, no exaggeration at all. I love this game and am so excited for the new dlc, but I'm getting aggravated with not being able to play and when I do play, I'm just redoing everything I had already done.
I'm really hoping you can help!
