Nehrim Unstable Crashes

[BigElectricCat]

Hate to clutter forum, but maybe more specific topic than multi-thread.

Want to play Nehrim, and all seemed well with Chargen and Merzel(sp?)

Unfortunately, it will crash every time when:

1.) Eat an iceclaw and causes game to crash.

2.) After completing quest for the miner who needed rat nests cleared out -- talk to him, see EP reward, and crashes every time. : (
