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

[Ephrem]

Hello, same problem here, it crashes exactly when you remove the third pipe. Updates installed and beta installed. I've tried the last savegame (before to put the ark in the base) and the previous one, (before to put the ark in the elevator) and problem persists.
Thanks for the help and for your work.

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.

I tested the Savefile

AutoSave_04-02-tau-inside_2015_9_25_10_21_25_0

And it worked fine to me: But i noticed a thing: After breaking the third pipe it lags realy hard for at least 2 secs. And then it moves on. I believe its a trigger for level Streaming.

Same issue, I got a few crashes before too, particularly when you first enter that site where you have to collect the three items, but this is the first one I can't progress through.

Tried pretty much everything, minimal settings, reducing my FPS to 60 from 144, no dice. Also changed to the beta build (788777), restarted Steam, yeah.

Win 10, i7 4790k, GTX 770 (355.28 drivers), 8 GB RAM.
