Just noticed that Rebirth has just updated this minute, it crashed my game, but it's seemed to of updated, not sure what it's improved on?

A new Hotfix?

There has been no update, unless you have joined the Beta for the next patch.

Yeah I have opted into the Beta.

Was about a 10+ MB download, very quick.

Do downloads generally cause a CTD? Cause I was boosting towards a local highway when it crashed and then.. the Beta update?

Yeah, couldn't of been a coincidence, it happened seconds after it crashed.

Just wonder what they have added?

It does say in the 1.18 guidance notes that you MUST NOT be running any third party mods as presumably they can interfere with the hotfix. So, ensure your running a vanilla game.

Personally, I've started over from scratch and, although I've had one CTD and one or two other glitches, I've noted massive improvements to some of the more frustrating bugs, like trading. But, I'll compile a few 'repeatable' bug lists before I submit them to Tech support.

More than likely you guys have the cause and effect backwards. Steam doesn't download any games or game updates while a steam game is running, unless you perform steps to force it to. The crash likely just made it so that there was no longer a steam game running, so it immediately went and did a pending dl. Also, the "download" could have simply been steam syncing your saved data with the cloud and not an actual patch.
