Had the same issue. I turned down particles to low and turned off ambient occlusion. No crashes after 20 minutes of play.
Crashes immediately after hitting Play on Launchpad, no black screen. Happened after the last hotfix patch. Was working after the large Victory Point patch. I was starting to desync so i re-logged, had to patch, then the problem. 64 bit Vista I grabbed this out of the CefInternal.log, not sure if it is relevant.

client patch (to fix a crash that Vista users were encountering) is up and good https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/3qw5bw/new_client_hotifx/?sort=new Thank you DBG Team
Indarside, Boringside, Please check stats all servers all the time Indar is back baby, the game has gone backwards there's no drama with or tension with new alerts. Two continents perma locked, third is ghost capped with no interest of defense.
Stuttering and freezes every 15 seconds. I noticed that it is more common in esmair and alerts. The problem persists for me.
Yup -- I am crashing in big explosins also... in tank it will crash if you get hit hard with a daulton.
