Aye Capn, I'm tempted to agree. spent all day installing/uninstalling/re-installing/disabling ad-nausium and I'm to the point I'm going to go back to the original config and bypass Midway completely. This is what I got with the latest fresh install of the game and ONLY RSRDC 550 with patch:

These pics are taken at the same spot on the island looking in the same direction (I used freecamera to get to this position).What you're not seeing is sand island completely submerged in the first pic but miraculously above water (normal) in the second pic. Ya, that PT boat in the top pic is floundering around like it's beached, and could find no trace of it later in the second pic. Also of note- NOTHING moved, ships didn't move, planes didn't launch on patrol, no 'call for help', no Jap fleet, NOTHING. It looks like something is hosed in RSRDC but not bad enough to CTD, but whatever is going on GFO is choking on it and Crashing. GFO is too big to dissect and with it disabled indicates SCAF is not an issue. My apologies for wasting your time.
