After installing Steams 1.6 Beta Update last night; Many of the fixes like respawning Issue & held up Courier Quests started running properly, But during 'The Phial' repair quest; I experienced Crash to Desktop off the Steam Platform; Is that common? I'm running 290's from NVidia...

This isn't exactly the best forum to be discussing technical issues with the beta patch. I believe there's another forum for that.

http://www.gamesas.com/forum/186-beta-update-on-steam/, in fact.

Just like to add in before this get's locked, it is just the Beta. I'm glad to see the respawning glitch has been fixed in current saves though, I was really worried about that.
