Bug with re-downloading and v. 1.1!

It is a great game, but a bit buggy! 

Bugs:

In the version 1.1 on Steam my heroes suffer permanent injuries after battle, even if they aren't defeated!

In version 1.00 it crashes, and when it does I must re-download for a few minutes!  I am not sure WHAT it is downloading, but it takes awhile even when I have a fast connection. It happens immediately after a crash.  I am not sure if this is a steam issue or not.  It has had trouble synchronizing with cloud.  Hence, I am switching to offline mode.  I have custom races/factions but no mods.

Thanks.
