BlueGreen

Managed to play through the crashes, and I'm definitely getting the Rymrgand axe-ice CTD as well. My graphics card drivers encounter an error and stop working. Managed to get past it through a mixture of the texhniques in the posts above, but I'm also still getting the every-ten-minute total-computer freezes that I have to hit the reset button to get out of. My computer is high-spec, and I had absolutely no issues before Patch 4.0.1.0041. It's definitely an ATI Radeon R9 series issue, looks like.

I'm also getting (seemingly) random freezes while playing BOW, where everything crashes, and I have to reset my computer. The sound buzzes, and the screen turns into what looks like corduroy (solid colour, covered in vertical lines). This has only been happening since I installed the latest patch update, I've had no issues at all previously. It happens after about 5 minutes of play, no matter what I'm doing - fighting, exploring, or even paused in the menu. I'm on Windows7, with an ATI Radeon R9 270X. I tried updating the drivers, and it made no difference. I've also tried reverifying the game files in GOG. I don't have Forgotten Sanctum installed. Output_log is here.

You can give Oderisi's notes to Flaune Alette, though I didn't choose to so I dunno what it does.
