It happens under certain circumstances when a siege is disbanded because there are no more friendly troops in the province... so if you can avoid having your units (and the AI's units) avoid this, then that'd be a workaround.

I've had those abandoned siege before without a crash. So it doesn't happen all the time as you say but it is certainly repeatable.

My "workaround" don't play until it's patched up, reading the manual in the meantime.

You would have thought beta testers would have tried some sieges - especially those writing AARs.

The problem I experienced with CTDs was with sieges of cities, forts were ok.

I've had CTDs with sieges of both cities and forts. I've put the game aside for the moment. Looking forward to seeing the patch in due course.
