The crash that happens after smithing an item and attacking bandits has changed after the hotfix today. Before the hotfix after a reload you could then attack bandits without crashing. After the hotfix, all saves that exist after smithing an item become corrupted and can no longer attack bandits. This renders 1.5.7 unplayable if you craft weapons. My 400+ day 1.5.7 campaign crashes every time I attack and on every save file I have after the hotfix.
I started a new 1.5.7 campaign after the hotfix and had no crash attacking bandits. I then refined some wood into coal and had no crash attacking bandits. Next I smelted some weapons to raw materials and had no crash attacking bandits. Finally I crafted a two handed sword, saved my game, and crashed when attacking bandits. I reloaded the save and tried again to attack and crashed again. The crash happens just as you catch the group you're attacking.
