Crashes since update

So, aside from the issue with rendering that some of us are having with the latest update.....i've also noticed that i've been crashed often - not while working on a map, or trying to render a large map.....it seems to be happening when i am trying to isolate a sheet and hiding all sheets, but say one or two....then as soon as i hit ok i crash. It has happened all weekend....any ideas or fixes? Or....how can I UN-update my update, since re-running it doesn't give me the option to repair or remove?

However, is this something you see on all maps, or is it isolated to just some. If the latter, do they have any commonalities (like a large amount of sheets or effects)? Does it happen if you make a relatively simple map?
As for uninstalling the update, that isn't quite as simple a task, as uninstalling the update will remove all files it added to the system, including files replaced, so you would end up with a lot of missing files in your installation if you do that.
A repair install of CC3+ itself (as opposed to the update) should reset the files however, and then you should be able to install update 10 again, but this isn't a recommended procedure, as there are a lot of "should's" in there.
To reproduce:
Zoom into the region with the small lake just south of the Misty Lake, including both lakes in the zoom window.
Open Sheets and Effects dialog and select the LAKE 1 sheet to make it active and also hide all other sheets. (LAKE 1 sheet contains no objects in this zoom window.)
BAM! I crash every time!
Or can PF make Update 11 available again in the meantime?
Thanks, Lorelei, for clarity and reassurance of sanity

Yes, I still use Bogie's Mapping Object collection, but it isn't actually "installed". I just call up whichever of the catalogues I need at the time manually with the little folder button at the top of the symbols palette.
I think the installed toolbar for that was packaged with the CSUAC install, which I uninstalled last year.
I've done a complete reinstall of CC3 since then for unrelated reasons, so my CC3 setup is very likely to be absolutely unique.
But we have a fix just around the corner, both for this problem and the PNG/JPG export problems. Just making sure the Update 13 installer works as intended right now.

This is the map I was working on. It's one of Quenten's that I altered a bit. Never had a problem with it before.
I am guessing your continued crashing problem might be related to the installer not applying the update properly.
After it was over, my map was rendered. But when I tried to render a smaller sized map the export just locked up and won't finish exporting. It has been trying to export for about two hours now.
It's stuck on the part that says "converting to final format".
hmm. I can confirm the hang when exporting to jpgs. I recommend png's normally, but jpg should of course obviously also work.
There is only one difference between my set up and the vast majority of all others that could explain it, but I got rather amusingly savaged for daring to mention it over at the Guild yesterday, so I'll say no more than that :P
Fracturing still does not work for me.
