Constant crashes on victory

[Born2Hula]

I'm having some serious problems playing this game - it keeps crashing when I win a battle. It's so bad I can barely finish the first island.

The crashes happen after the last enemy dies, but just before the debrief window pops up.

If it happens once with a group of enemies I'd say there's an 80% chance it will happen again the next time I try to beat the same group so it's not entirely random. Running around and fighting other enemies sometimes helps, but I've got 5/6 groups of mobs on the first island I'm scared to go near.

This is incredibly frustrating and happening near-constantly, I played for an hour before heading to work and suffered maybe 6 crashes with different enemies.

Playing the steam version valhalla edition, ice and fire installed, using a couple mods (big font, interface mod, minimap stars on hard and extreme zoom), but I removed the mods and the crashes still happen.
