Now I'm having this problem too.  I think I am going to un-install the whole thing and then re-install without the patch.  I was not having any problems before, but now it is crashing a bunch - once it starts, you can't save the file...  Not good.  

On the same file, if I go into the atmoshpere editor, that also crashes the file.
