It's quite possible I'm misunderstanding the issue here, so bear with me if you could.
Seasons settings are supposed to be on a per world basis and are thus stored in the game save file. Any changes made to the master set of settings involving game file specific settings such as seasons should, when things are working properly, not be honored within an already ongoing game.
Your game crashing when you attempt to change the settings within a save (consistently?) suggests that something might be wrong with your options.ini file. If you haven't already tried this I would suggest starting up the game and then such an affected save with no options.ini file at all, thus causing a new one to be spawned. Then make all adjustments as needed, both the ones to be handled globally and the ones like seasons that should be per game save.
Not what you were concerned about at the moment and possibly not relevant. But we would never recommend not keeping graphics drivers up to date. They don't have to be updated automatically, it's best to get updates from the computer manufacturer anyway when this is possible, the card manufacturer as a second choice, and could be what you meant you were already doing but just wanted to comment on that part in case that's helpful.
