Crash fixed by updating; it’s becoming a serious pain to keep up with the update treadmill. A new stable version would be highly desirable.
On a related note: every update, it seems like a greater number of warnings or errors appear during loading of a saved game; initially, it was all related to ammunition (presumably a gun’s ammo; I believe it was an ARX or similar).
Might I encourage you to check the save and look over the list of errors that appear upon world load, and advise me how to eliminate those?
