new patch = crashing

[winterghost]

So it's still crashing after I reinstalled again.
I also noticed the short stories are there again, which makes me wonder if the UK steam is still patching it, is there some way to tell what version I have? I can't see anything obvious to tell me but the fact the short stories are there seems to imply it is 1.2

Hmm it also lets me pick Russian as a language so I'm pretty sure this is the patched game.

Assuming it is 1.2, again, I ask is anyone looking into this?
It dosen't seem like I'm the only one having these crashing issues and right now the game is pretty much unplayable for me.

**edit**
I created a new game save and then checked the HPL and it definitely says it's 1.2, so steam UK at least is using the newer version.
Additionally this new save game was, I think, the first time since the patch that the game saved and exited without crashing which makes me wonder if there is an issue with save games from the earlier version?

have added the new hpl to show it working with the new save in case that helps.
