Friend of mine and I were leaving the military base outside of Pavlovo, heading south towards Kamenka. Once we got around the southbound wall and headed up the small hills towards the fields, the game crashed. Since he was leading us, he crashed first. I followed and crashed at the same spot shortly after.
Both of us respawned in the middle of nowhere, unable to locate surrounding towns. Friend also frustrated that he lost gun that was in his hands.
