As thread title suggests, the game crashes whenever I try to load a save ever since downloading the recent ~500MB patch (not the one earlier this week that coincided with the Community Update, but the one that Steam did earlier this evening).

I've seen other threads about having some issues with this patch; is anyone else having problems with their saves?

I'm having the same issue. Used either Vulkan or DX11 mode, trying to load a save crashes the game halfway during the load.

I was so close to finishing the EA too, this is pretty frustrating.

Same here. Still having the same issue.

Same problem here guys. It would be nice to be able to play the game once more.
