How to fix modded game that broke after patch update?

EDIT** Everyone, I just reinstalled the entire game and again it crashed when loading a saved game from the previous install. So I started a new game on this new install and no more crashes. I guess I'll just have to turnoff auto-updating from now on and avoid the updates. Thanks guys.

Hey guys,

I'm on a nice clean Vista build, ETW is the only program installed. It was modded yesterday with the Late Campaign mod and the added turns mod. Today, after the new patch applied, all battle endings now CTD.

Any hints on how to get it all working again?

In the windows log:

1. First I copied in the modded campaigns folder again, still crashed
2. Then I copied in the original campaigns folder, then put the modded campaigns folder onto of that, still crashing
3. Right now I still have copies of the original campaign folder, downloadable modded folder, and the campaigns folder after the update originally applied.

If anyone has any secrets its appreciated!
