After another player in my SG had the same problem, and seeing no mention on either this or the official forum about it, I decided to do a quick post.
Operation Stronghold is a mission that takes place in the desert area. When going through the mission, both I and another player during separate runs ran into a serious issue. After the lobby area, and proceeding down the initial elevator, you continue on through one of the cell blocks to rescue someone. During this, a cutscene plays where an enemy is approaching the door to a room with the squad you first encounter in the prison is staying. At this point, both of us had our games crash.
Upon further inspection, I tried the mission again, and this time after going down the elevator, everyone in the squad began to fan out, then immediately froze. Upon repeated attempts and zone switches, this is the same result each time. I just wanted to get a warning out to anyone who may be thinking of playing this mission of the possibility of what might happen. I haven't tried letting Cryptic know yet, and won't be able to until later today as I have a dental appointment soon.
I hope this helps, and thanks for reading.
*Update* - So, I see that Stronghold was changed as part of the latest patch. I'm going to test it out and see if the problem is still there. Hopefully it works now.
*Update 2* - Thought for a moment it was fixed, but then it crashed again at the same cutscene. I'm not sure how to make Cryptic aware of this, and I'm apprehensive about the official forums since I'm just silver level. Anyone has any suggestions/ideas, it'd be much appreciated.
