I have had the same problems as Ceren.

The game crashes sometimes when I reload a savegame. But this phenomenon has been there both before and after the patch. But it seems that turning down the sound hardware acceleration helps. It says in the readme file that this should be done for soundcards that are not 100% directX compatible, but I have a soundblaster live card, and it should be 100% comp. to directX, but it still helped me alot to turn the hardsware acc. down (to the minimum).

Since I did this I rarely crash (it still happens) - but now I can reload 20 times without problems.
