update on my position: I've managed to get unstuck from Prelude in Violet only by trusting a good friend of mine with my credentials to pilot my pc through cutscenes. I was able to log back in, change my password, and play the required dungeons and duties that followed on my own with no issues.

I am at the very beginning of Shadowbringers and once again... stuck. I havent even attuned to the first Aethernet crystal because a mandatory cutscene crashes my game. I cant even go back to Norvrandt on foot because I consistently crash while tping to Mor Dohna, exactly back to where I started in Prelude in Violet.

All I can do now is just sit in my Inn room in Gridania and just do roulettes too scared to leave in fear of crashes.
