This might will help some of you. see my bug report on 1/5:

So in short, I run a 5.3-DR2 server and my client crashes a lot after I upgraded to 5.3-DR2, for a limited number of zones like west freeport etc. Then I modified my DB according to Image's suggestion, quote Image: "Thats a glitch with database safe points, you can either in variables put UseCfgSafeCoords and set the value to 1 or you can update your db safe coords (in zone table)."
and it wont crash the client anymore.
So if your client only crash for certain zones, then it's the problem of the server database. Try west freeport and see if that's the case. If it's server side, send a request to the server admin to get this corrected. If not, you'll have to finger out the processor/videocard stuff yourself, since I am not aware of that and I cant lend any help.
