So I've been having lots of problems, but I managed to slog through to almost the end of the Campaign. I was having problems all day yesterday. I'm consistantly crashing within a turn or two. In general, I finish unloading the two ships, then disband them, and try to restack the free, dialog-driven units. I haven't been too successful. I was having the same problem before the patch, but thought I'd give more debugging help since the patch didn't fix me.
