Hello Chance26.
This is not a bug but an intentional change that has been addressed in the patch notes. The distance might be tweaked again for the future versions based on the player feedback and general balancing.

"based on player feedback..."
In other words
"We're too lazy to fix what we broke. But we might do something about it if enough people complain."

@Franzuu
Then these questions should be asked at the same time as part of a series of questions that are required in order to debug, like you say.

Geez,
I am getting the impression that your team is just requesting more information in an attempt to stall and ignore the issue. Several other people have reported this problem and nobody from your team has suggested a possible fix or indicated that you folks are aware and working on it.

Overall, the response from this forum has been underwhelming. I expected more.

I will confirm though, that changing servers did fix the issue for me. Naturally, I had to forfeit my position on the map.

Hello again.
Can you also let us know where your character is on the map? And are there any bases in the vicinity? Also, if you connect to another server and back to this one, do you still experience the crash?
