So in doing a bit of "research" for my future modding efforts I've been trying to play the game but it's become increasingly difficult. The crashes seem to be related to popups of various sorts. Like a citystate message will popup and if I dismiss it too quickly or click on the map while the map is still moving the game will crash. This is making it very difficult to finish a game.
[v127] Frequent crashes

I also have been having a hard time finishing games since the new patch. The game usually crashes around early industrial era. I've tried reloading games after crash (via the last auto save) and still get crashes at about the same time give or take a turn or two.
I can't say the crashes I've been having are repeatable. I know once I got past early game in the previous patch, the game got pretty stable. Maybe it's because the city states stopped giving quests? I need to try another full length game without city states to be sure.

Mine seem to be repeatable. I'm not 100% sure if this is the right file, but if it is I can't go more than a hand full of turns past here.

I still haven't been able to finish a game since the patch came through. Here is my latest game. For me the game kept crashing at the same point, so I turned auto save to every turn to catch the turn it locks up in. My computer won't even load this save, it just gets stuck loading for ever. Once I alt ctr del it fully crashes and says program is not responding.

I've played a few more games since then. It seems for me maps that are smaller than normal I am able to finish but any map normal sized or bigger crashes around the same area, and also crashes when loading. I know my computer isn't the best, but before the update I never had crashes like this. Any maps large or bigger I would have to switch to the strategic view halfway through but I was always able to finish the games that way. I guess with the new patch I either have to play on smaller maps or wait to update my computer... So in conclusion I think the crash is coming from my computer not being good enough, but I didn't have these problems before the update.
@Hodi - perhaps try seeing if your having the same problem as me? Try games starting with the smallest map size and play through to the end and see if your crashing on normal size up like me?

Similiar stuff happens for me, and it is clearly related to multiple messages popping up at the same time and trying to click them away fast. Interestingly, for me this happens only after alt-tabbing out and back in. And it was like that straight from release day

I also had been having troubles with alt-tabing causing crashes, but I never had those problems before the newest patch.
This may not help, but you can turn off all popups in the game menu (turn advisors to no advice and reward popups to none).
I haven't noticed any crashes due to popups per say but I have noticed slowdown and lag (which can sometimes precede crashes) due to popups/notifications etc.

I don't think only ingame messages are meant.
Elsewhere it has been reported, that also popups from Steam or other applications, e.g. Firefox update popup, could maybe add to the problem.
