Repeatable End Turn Crash with New Patch (1.0.1.332) - savegame included

[Indrasnet]

Bought the game a few days ago and downloaded via Steam - Latest Patch (v.1.0.1.332)

Played single game through to turn 440 - no problems at all (apart from odd behaviour when trying to skip the intro movie), loving it

Then...

After hitting end turn on turn 440, during the AI moves the game crashed, does it every time. It happens just after a Persian sumbarine bombards and destroys my Carrier.

Troubleshooting tried:

Running in DX9
Setting all graphics options to LOW or OFF (including no anti-aliasing, v-sync, or high detail strategy view)
Deleting: My Docs/My Games/Civ 5 folder (so game rebuilds it during start-up)
Verifying integrity of cache through Steam (1 file couldn't be verified and was re-downloaded) - however it does this every time!!
Downloaded latest Catalyst driver
Re-Installed Direct X11

All to no avail.

Here's the savegame link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0OAVUHQR

Just hit end turn and the game will crash.

HOWEVER - I have found a way to not make it crash - just move my destroyer which is just off the coast of Dariush Kabir - two hexes to the right - THEN hit end game....

The destroyer takes the hit from the Persian Submarine, not my Carrier - AND THE GAME DOESN'T CRASH.

So come on Fireaxis - this has got to be enough info to go on to get to the bottom of this bug hasn't it????

ANY MODERATOR -

Rather than double-post, could you move this post to the "CIV 5 [issues] - the complete list" sticky thread on the general discussions forum???

THanks

Why? It's definitely a technical problem, so it's in the right area.
If you want to ask, if someone else could please load the game to test if it crashes for them, then feel free to post there .

(i would load it myself, but i don't own Civ5, so i can't help here)

UPDATE (13/7) - dshirk confirmed the problem and found a work-around - finish the turn in strategic view - doesn't crash. Thanks.
