I was having a similar issue. I couldn't enter any area from the arena (Luminous Adra Pool, Foreman's Quarters, etc.) -- I got a load screen for a few seconds and then a message that the game had crashed. I lowered the graphics quality and turned off vsync, which didn't help. But I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it's working.
