Hello,

This has happened to myself and a friend on multiple occasions since the latest patch and server merge.

-When entering the elevator to go to the Airship deck you will get the loading screen. Once you have reached the top and the loading screen starts, the game crashes. Upon restarting the game you are now located on the Merchant Strip level as if you had never entered the elevator. Once you start the elevator to go up again, it will work.

Hope this helps to remedy the problem!
