Still have a problem with Thrawn. (with and without hotfix)

[I_Jedi]

I began the game with the Pentastar Alignment and immediately went left and conquered the entire Empire of the Hand without engaging any other faction. All the EotH heros died at their capital, including Thrawn. Afterwards, Isard attacked one of my planets and i moved to the next era after finishing her off. I fight IR Thrawn a few times, and the game crashes at the end of a battle where I blew up his ship.

Any fixes for this?

I tested the progression there specifically with a few of the factions but must have missed the PA. I'll look into it again.

I have this same issue, however I'm playing as IR thrawn. I can't kill him off without that game crashing at the end of te battle. Any solution?
