[Gamebreaking bug] Game crashes at end of TAU every time

[tayback]

Getting same crash at third pipe. build 788777. Tried the beta version too, although idk if there is actually a difference since the most recent patch. I think they are the same version? anywho, ill try fiddling with the graphics settings or something next. but so far nothing ive tried has fixed this.

attached most recent save file for some help. Its at the point just prior to swiping your omni tool to fill the chamber if i remember right.

adjusted all graphics effects to minimum. disable v sync. no dice.

tried compatibility mode for win 7. same results.

running out of ideas. But also for some more help here is my system:
i74930k
GTX 780ti
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11Q-16GSR
windows 10 pro

any other relevant parts im forgetting?

hope my struggles can help someone else, once this is solved.
