New CTD behaviour since this morning Nov 15th

Are you updating via wi-fi ? Wi-fi is known to fail due to a Windows feature (“window auto tune”) that is incompatible with newer modems/routers. You might want to have a look at this page:
and in particular “Fixing slow downloads”.

However you may have a broken install now as the installer is not robust. Meaning you might need to reinstall the entire game, although I cannot say this with certainty.
