(As of Arma 3 ver.2.06.148470)
Trying to close a map using 'closeMap false' inside of a map event handler like
'addMissionEventHandler["Map",{closeMap false}];'
will cause the game to crash.
To fix this, please use it inside of a spawned script.
Ex. 'addMissionEventHandler["Map",{[] spawn {closeMap false};}];'
This should stop any issue of crashing when you close the map.
