When I want to play, I just search for the version 3.24.0 or lower. I know where to find 3.13 personally and it works for me fine. This way I can get through any fight without crushes. There's less of content, of course, but not drastically, and you can download the newest version later to fish for the newer arts.
It doesn't seem VFX are going to disappear from the game, and that's what started crushing the game in a few seconds for me even when I check Pervert gallery. So, if you can't play on PC, there's little you can do to play comfortably on new versions.
