Hi Lesker1978,
The issue with removing spoiled food from crates is one the team are aware of and I believe they found the fix for. As far as I am aware the fix is finish and should be included in the update that will be released early next week. Please also see: [Console] Update Information 2022/12/13
There have been players that mentioned crashing during gameplay, and occassionally when saving. The team are looking into various stability improvements that should help against this. As there are a number of triggers that can result in a crash, I am hoping some of the fixes and the addition of the piles feature in this next update will help with the crashes you are experiencing. Of course if the issue continues to occur after the update next week, please do let me know - including if there have been any changes in frequency - and I will inform the team.
Thank you.
