LivingFreely Do you get an error message when the game closes? Does the game crash, without your trying to travel, if you play offline? You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnec the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
I'd also like to see a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
