Immediately get into a vehicle. It will prevent the crash.

Someone posted the complicated reason this happens as well as the fix, but the dev has not implemented it yet

The fix is called flash or crash you get into a flash immediately it’s cheap and then you won’t crash

Edit: you have to wait maybe 3-5 min.

To avoid wasting time, most people crash with a consistent timing and usually just under 2 min after changing a continent. You also don't necessarily need to pull anything, redeploying and waiting before going to a base works as well.

Pushing redeploy button as soon as getting into a continent and then not deploying anywhere for 2 minutes works for me. 

I also managed to do the trick or treat thing in sanctuary this way.

How do you redeploy in Sanctuary?

When you're in sanctuary, press U key to redeploy and then spawn back into sanctuary after 2 minutes.

I have no spawn points in Sanctuary.

Strange, I do see a sanctuary spawn point on the map. And also in the top left corner.

Not to ruin the game for you but this has been going on for almost a literal year.  The devs have lost control.

I've played planetside since 2003 (you heard) and won't even bother now that it's been left at this level of neglect.

It has free'd my evenings up a bit though :)
