Overall the game is running faster and I haven't had any saving related crashes. I had an OOM crash as I was randomly scrolling around the cloth map, after playing for a few hours.
No dmp file was created.

A few other issues I've noticed:
I've had a few tactical battles freeze forcing me to auto-resolve. I had never had this issues before 1.19k. Also, the damage text still doesn't reliably appear.
