I am having the same problem. Problem is on the campaign mission "Proving grounds" and has occured for the past few attempts I have tried. I can usually go about 5 turns before the crash. I have tried everything, from turning off auto save to adjusting various resolution settings. Non-campaign games work perfectly.
