[1.01] Increased Crashes since patch (Win7) -- Update

The game seems to be having a higher incidence of crashes since the update.  Could be cognitive bias but I don't recall crashes being frequent enough to be an issue before and now I feel disinclined to play because of them.

I've had a few issues where the graphics die. All the text disappears, graphics tare and randomly stretch on screen. I have no other option but to close the game. Auto-saves are reliable and frequent enough.

I played quite a bit this weekend and they must have gotten about 30 crash reports sent from me, all happened when reloading a game. But then, this is old news and they will fix it eventually :)

I've also been having trouble with my game crashing when I attempt to reload a game. It has put me off playing until the next patch, since I can only play a game up until so far, since I can't load my saved games without it crashing.

I've also experienced quite a few crashes, but there seems to always be a "tell" before it happened. Graphics behaving erratically or game slowing down. Saving, shutting down and restarting FE sorts this out for me. Managed to get a nice 10 hours game yesterday with no bugs what so ever.

I've noticed that the most quirks happen when I start a new game without restarting FE first. Maybe there's something trying to access the saved information from the previous game? A cache not clearing out?

I've also been experiencing increased crashes since the patch. Before it would crash maybe every 5th or so time i would reload a game, and that was the only time. Since the patch though I've had it crashing every 3 reloads or so, and it has also been crashing while saving. A few times now while it crashed while saving it made it so that save would no longer work, so I had to go back to a previous save. I lost three or four hours of play time because of it. Now I try to save more often, but with the save crashes it makes the game less playable. Maybe I'll just play MoM for a while until they can get it fixed.

Yeah, for me it's usually hanging between turns but I'm also getting random crashes, I hope these problems just go-away with a new patch and it's not some idiosyncrasy of my machine.

I like this game a lot, but the crashes make it unplayable at times. Far to many crashes for a "complete" game.

Uninstalled and re-installed game from Steam, was able to play for a couple/few hours tonight without a crash or hang, much better than the past couple days.  Seems to have done the trick.

The next patch mentions crash fixes. Maybe that will fix it for some folks.
