Crashing when I access new base?

I am not sure if this belongs here or in the Bugs/Technical section, but I thought if anyone else was encountering this, it would be the base folks.

I just registered a personal SG about an hour ago. Traded in a tonne of Inf to get some startup prestige (I have more Inf than sense ) and went to the portal in Atlas to access my base for the first time (yes, I have purchased the permit from the SG Registrar) and when I start to port to the base, I hard crash - game completely locks up and I have to use Task Manager to close it out.

Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Just double checked my older characters with existing bases, and the same thing happens. I get the "Map Loading" message, then the load screen comes up, and the progress bar freezes about 5% in, then the game locks up.

Yup, restarted CoH. Checked the install as well. Rebooted computer. A couple times actually. No setting changes on the video card or any other settings, as near as I can tell. Its been a while since I accessed any of my SGs though, so I am unsure if it coincided with the game update or something else.

For good measure (after any new issue/patch release), go ahead and do a Repair of the installation through the Launcher (if you haven't already). If that doesn't do it, then we'll need to look a bit harder.

I recall a similar bug when I left the game for several months then renewed and re-activated my bases. I had to petition it and a GM fixed it for me. Worth a shot.
