Still crashing on freedom isle

[gsdspif]

yeah, all the locations I've tried to get to on the starting continent load up fine and there's no problem with that. Whenever I try to load a game on the western isle though, it always crashes, or if I try sailing there from the starting continent.

unfortunately, I can't tell if any of the other maps are corrupt like this as I can't really progress in the game at this point, but at least the western isles keep crashing me and won't allow me to get any further.
