1.8.0 Patch Issue - Crash when selecting certain units on saved games

Helo.

I encountered an issue on every saved game before the 1.8 update with the Astra Militarum.

The modification that was given to the Heavy Weapons Squad of the Imperial Guard to shuffle their weapons from Krak to Frag, screwed the Heavy Weapon Squad units already deployed on the field before the 1.8 update. Each time I want to select an unit of Heavy Weapons squad that was saved before 1.8 update the game crashes with an 3221225477 Exception Access Violation error.

Atached the logs. Im not sure if the saved games are neccessary, as I assume this is an easily replicable issue with steps described below.

Steps to replicate the issue:

1. Create game on game version 1.7.9 as Imperial Guard
2. Create Heavy Weapons Squad
3. Save gane
4. Open saved game on game version 1.8.0
5. Try selecting previously created Heavy Weapons Squad

Hipotetical cause: The update to the mechanic of the Heavy Weapons Squad unit did not update any pre-existing unit on an existing playtrough before the update. The roster is updated correctly, and the game functions correctly on games created after 1.8.0. Also if you load an older save, the unit produced after the update works correctly.

Normally would not be a big issue, but I just have to many Astra Militarum games pending and cannot complete them.
