Not just for game patches, but for all computer updates I find it is generally a good idea to wait a few days up to a few weeks and look up consumer reviews.
I have done this ever since years ago. I updated a web browser when it asked me if I wanted to, and it promptly deleted all my bookmarks, add-ons and was unable to access the internet.
When something new like this comes out, for your own safety and stress reducement, always look up if there may be a problem associated with it.
That wont help now, and Im sorry you experience this bug, but in a few days a patch should come out and adress this issue.
We shouldn't need to do this but indeed, you can avoid many hassles like that.
I remember that driver update for Nvidia cards that had a fan malfunction and caused the deaths of many expensive graphic cards.
Thankfully I found out before mine broke.
