    Same here. My work around is export to jpeg with Artboards ticked, but I'm still losing a LOT of time to restarts as it also crashes occasionally when I just hit save.

    I'm also getting crashes over and over, killing me in hours here Adobe, Never seen so many bugs in 20 years of illustrator. Ack. It's crashing when I save, crashing when I move something. This is a new file built on the new illustrator framework, and it's happening on both my 2014 imac and 2015 macbook pro. Damnit.

    Adobe, can you let us know when the crashing problem on "save to web" will be resolved?  Just a simple time frame would be helpful.  Many thanks.

    UPDATE: I have found that turning off GPU Performance helps a TON! I'd say 9 out of 10 times it works fine.

    Haven't tried on newer iMac but on the older one at work turning off GPU crashes Illustrator also.

    Same Issue here. Happens when I open PDF (created on Illustrator CS 2014) and I want to save for web.

    The crash is not regullar, sometimes it crashes as soon as one starts the save for web procedure, and sometimes it crashes when one tries to resize the file.

    Me too. When CreativeCloud first started, I was worried that subscribers would be used as BETA testers for the products they're paying for as finished products. Issues like these just strengthen that theory.

    No "save for web" is a deal breaker for me so I have reverted back to CC2014 until this is resolved.

    How did you revert back? When I went back to my 2014 CC folder, it's empty.

    In the CC app, in the list of apps, Scroll down to 'Find Additional Apps', and there's a link for 'Previous Versions'. I found it in there and had to reinstall it as the 2015 installer presumptuously uninstalls 2014.

    Previous updates left the old app intact so you could easily road-test the new app. But not this time. Oh no. And look what happened, Adobe, look what happened.

    Bad Adobe. Not Cool.

    I have the same problem and I'm surprised Adobe has not taken this issue serious enough. We are losing time and money too same way you don't like others cracking your product. Right now our wallets/pockets are being cracked by Adobe with poor update/product.

    Illustrator used to be the most stable product...every time I hit save for web and try to resize the image or just hit save------it disappears all together only to restore it with many steps back.
