If it's Entrenchment that's crashing around game start, try dropping your texture quality settings (the entire top row). This fix has been suggested by IC (the Entrenchment beta is currently not very optimized so there are memory issues) and works for those affected by it. No guarantee that it's the cause of your guys' crashes, but it's worth a try.
So far this seems to be working great now AND now the mines don't fluctuate for me. Before, they would fluctuate between in and out of phase so it seems, for at least now against TEC, with lower settings the mines won't being in flux.
