Crashing when talking to different aliens

I often experience crashes, seemingly when in the same game session, I try and talk with a 2nd alien type. The 1st one loads in just fine and quickly too, but I may as well just restart the game if I want to try and talk to a different type. This also pretty much made it literally unplayable at the very beginning, when you first talk with a Scryve and then the game immediately makes you talk with the Tywom you helped. I had to revert back to the earlier version just to get through that part.
