Game patch causing my game to crash when attempting to load the game; only new game works

I dont know if this will work, but if you can get into your save, save it as a new save instead of overwriting it so maybe you dont have too start a new game if you dont want too , name it something different so you dont get mixed up, then come out the game then launch it again using the new/old save you just made, I done this recently before this patch because it kept crashing, soo far it hasn't crashed
