Don't know if it's happened to anyone else, but completing mission 2 anywhere that isn't "free mission" seems to cause a hard crash now, at least for me.

I ran the entire campaign on Veteran without having any issue, but the second i started a second run on Elite and completed said mission, i got greeted with its fade to black only for whatever ungodly cutscene that sees our lovely carrier's escort sunk to immediately cause a fatal error before properly starting. I know for sure that it's the cutscene due to the fact that its "free mission" alternative allows the full completion all the way to the score aftermath, unlike the campaign one which crashes before the scoreboard, meaning that it refuses me the entire progress i've just done.

I don't suppose anyone's experiencing that too, much less have a solution?
