Yes this exact thing happens a lot to me too, more frequently after the patch. I'd say the game shuts down every other time I leave the ship. Thankfully it autosaves just before the crash.

Ok the problem seemed to be the beta participation, when I opted out of the PoE beta, the game updated again and the expansion message now loads up.

The same question here: how do you start the expansion? I believe you're supposed to receive a message via your stronghold, but I'm getting nothing. For me too Steam shows DLC installed and the patch is installed aswell.
