I have had this crash problem as well, but not with any semi-charged equipment. I've crashed while using a Swiftwolf's Rending Gale ring. Whenever I am on the ground and the ring is no longer active, I do not crash with the dirt screen-to-white screen. And yes, this is outdoors, but the outdoors thing appears to not happen to me. I get no crash log and nothing on the server log.
