Game crash

My game crashes after I defeat the Fire elemental node. Can some tell me why, and how to fix this. This happens before and after i install the patches.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but if it's occurring in or around the Balor fight and you're using fragarach, then that's probably why. There is a problem related to the automatic attack upon taking damage and taking indirect damage not as a result of an actual opponent attacking you: the game doesn't know who to retaliate against. Or rather, it's not supposed to retaliate, but the retaliation trigger is (stupidly) the taking of damage, and so it goes looking to retaliate, and this causes trouble.

Unequip Fragarach before fighting the balor (which explodes when it dies) or the salamanders that do fire damage when you attack them.

Thanks but that isn't the problem. I know about the sword bug. Mine is a toee exe. problem.

Not sure. When exactly does this happen and what's ongoing at the time?

I'm not sure if this was the problem, but i stopped saving over other saves. Seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the input.

That's rather odd, though the game does have an unfortunate history with save file corruption. I've played it to death and never had a single issue along these lines, but other have. It's possible something in the old save file was corrupted and messing things up, I guess. Not sure how, but maybe moving to a new save slot would indeed avoid whatever the problem was.
