    @Niscomo  Thanks so much for the information, and for testing.  I'm glad that your game is working again, and happy to have something to recommend to the other people with the same problem.

    On that note, @AKShelton can you try disabling OneDrive too?  If that doesn't help, please let me know.  And if you do use mods, NRaas ErrorTrap is highly recommended, for this and many other reasons.

@Niscomo  You're one of several people reporting the same issue. as you can see.  And it's quite new—I hadn't seen any other reports until yesterday.  So I'm kind of guessing here, but maybe we can try to isolate the issue.

Do you have OneDrive enabled on your computers?  If your game folder is being uploaded while you play, that could cause a number of issues, including perhaps the crashing during travel.

What happens if you play while your computer is completely offline?  After logging into Origin, you can put it in offline mode, and then disconnect from wifi or unplug the ethernet cable.  Then try to travel again with a new save.  It's also a good idea to remove your game folder from Documents and start with a fresh one.

I'd also like to see a dxdiag on each computer, or at least the error reports at the bottom.  Those reports might list something useful relating to the crashes.

Yes, I launched the game offline and disabling wi-fi, it did not help.
I'll try to disable one drive, thanks for idea.
