My game crashes when loading any new area (Going from Byzantium to Emerald Vale for example). Thankfully it auto-saves before the loading screen, so I just reload and continue on. Still, quite annoying.

Update: The issue resolved itself as soon as I landed on Scylla. Thinking back, the issue may have appeared as soon as I left Scylla? Odd.
Update 2: Bug comes back as soon as I leave Scylla's surface. (Including entering buildings) Also, SAM is not affected.
I have the same exact issue. (Playing on PC)
I installed the game and played through 10+ hours without issues. Last weekend I updated my hard disk and re-installed the OS and game. Xbox app pulled down my save and I continued no problem. That's when this bug cropped up.
In-game models are properly lit, just the menu is blacked out.
