Sh5 crash help requested

Hey folks, so as I mentioned in another post I got SH5 last week. But it has not been fun, not in the slightest specifically because the game keeps crashing for no apparent reason.

Sh4 with multiple mods runs great 99% of the time and once in while gets a crash or a save corruption that i can simply avoid with an earlier save. However with sh5 I simply cannot get past the the first campaign mission "Total Germany" and I have had to start multiple careers because each one ends up either corrupt or simply crashing at load.

I am using no mods, have been having BEX errors and other crashes and even having it simply lock up during loading. The rig I have is.....well a bit of a beast and its paired back with almost no non essentials. My system is fully updated with all relevant windows 7 (64) updates and driver/mobo files and the game is patched to 1.2

Really dont know wth is going on, and im usually pretty good at finding culprits for this kind of thing but im at a loss. And fyi I read the other crashing threads and I do not have the c++ package mentioned as the cause for those ones so thats out.

Halp?

EDIT* Further info - Event viewer shows several kinds of errors for SH5; Sh5.exe crash, SHact crash, kernel.dll and MSVCR90.dll crashes. You would think my system was corrupted or something with the way its going on but nope, this thing is in reality pretty bullet proof.

Soo being the dilligent type I am further digging has revealed the C++ crashes are due to it using a version that didnt come with the game. Even though I put in the game version package, its been using .6161 from the same year. Ive removed it and made sure the games .17 version is in place. I can only hope this helps.
