Hi!
1. I just wanna add that I started having the same issue yesterday, after patch 1.0.8. It started by the game just suddenly freezing while I was moving on the map. After that, I loaded the game and it would freeze in 5-10 secs.
2. I tried creating a new save in those secs, but the same issue occurs when I load the new save.
3. If I start the autosave save file where I am in a battle, then the game lets me play out the battle and finish it. But after that, 5-10 secs of moving on the map, and it crashes again. EDIT: On this save, It lets me play until Spring 13 1093 right after the gold change, when the sun is setting.
4. I am currently in the nothern parts of the map, around Varcheg. But I tried moving in other directions in those 5-10 secs, it still crashes.
5. If I stand still on the map with the time PAUSED then I don't crash. It's only when I start the time that I crash.
6. The time and day of the game is SPRING 13, 1093. The sun is going down, so afternoon.
If I load a save file that has aprox. 3 less hours of progress(didnt start collecting pieces quest, didnt leave kingdom etc) then there seems to be no issues. However, I'm afraid that it will crash again later as I reach the same point in the game.
Safe mode seems to not be making any difference by the way.
EDIT: I have managed to narrow it down to the crash occuring on Spring 13, 1093 as the sun is setting meaning right as the sun starts sliding away from the circle.
EDIT 2:
I tried starting the save file with 3 h less progress and just fast forwarding while not moving on the map. It works past Spring 13 1093. So it doesn't seem to be the specific date. There is something else in the quests or similiar that is triggering it on that day for me. Hope these updates help .
