I'm not sure if this is directly related to what I was doing, or just a random crash, but in the 'investigate the Hellion cavern' mission you get as a follow-on from the 'rescue 4 civilians from the Hellions" introductory mission -- the one with the mission door under the bridge in Atlas Park where you find the mystical artifact -- I had reached the artifact (taking the straight-ahead tunnel, not either side tunnel) and clicked on it while holding down the 'S' key; the client popped up the message window border for the information about the artifact, then froze. After sitting frozen for approximately 30 seconds, the client crashed to desktop.
