Me too. Game crashed when entering Runestead and now game crashes time after time. I can't stay online longer than 1 minute. Done force verify several times already.
Same here, constant crash trying to go to runestead. I have tried using the arc client and steam, verified thru both. Still crashes everytime I try and travel, sometimes just trying to load into the game.
I reinstalled the game, but it is still same problem. I'm pissed off, but what to do...We have to wait. Maybe someone will answer / fix / advise after the weekend.

Add me to the list.
@Venture-1@Venture from City of Heroes if you remember that far back. Yes, *that* Venture. Yes, I probably trashed your MA arc. For me it was Tuesday.
Quick question. Do you guys run the game through Steam, Arc or just game file? Because there is a known issue with the game crashing in various places when run through Steam. They fixed some of them with the Friday patch, but didn't manage to get all of them. They're hoping to get the rest with the one on Thursday I believe.
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
The game crashes when I try to enter other areas. Not all areas crash but enough that it halts gameplay. After verifying the game will crash on load screen. Reloading once more gets me into the game to crash again on loading into a random area. The Monini Crypts is the current issue...
I've played Runestead twice in the last two days. Did the mission version yesterday and the weekly version today. I had no problems but I launch the game through Arc. This seems to be a part of the wider "crashing when launched through Steam".
Suggested workaround until they fix this, maybe try to launch the game directly from the game folder (using the exe file) and not use Steam?

This is not a good workaround, in fact, it made it worse
I launched the game through Arc, and trying to enter The Runestead still crashed on me.
Also tried starting the client directly from the game folder, that did not work either.
Now after trying to enter The Runestead after booting the client directly from the game folder, my character is stuck when I try to log him on, and keeps crashing even when I verify the patch each time. There is no option to log in a safe place either.
Had never had any crashing issues with the game (been playing on and off since beta back in 2013 but much more lately), and started having this issue yesterday. Pretty frustrating.
I play through Steam as well. Considering trying the Arc launcher but I'd much rather stick with Steam (just because I play most of my games through there).
I started having this issue today. I usually start from the folder. Did a Force Verify, and nothing changed. 5 hours worth of repeated efforts and patches, and still nothing allows me to be in-game more than 30-45 seconds.
