Some environmental units are still problematic (mines and buoys) so make sure to save the game when approaching or leaving the areas where these units can be encountered, just like before ( all in game ports, coastal waters, narrow straights ect...). Further more, one full game restart in mentioned areas should decrease any possible CTD chances practically to 0...

Note that the test version should be savegame compatible but any changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start or advancement to the next campaign chapter...If everything is OK with this one I think we are ready for new official TWoS v 1.06...
