Hangs/locks up when saving or after sleeping

Alright, I tried everything. Deleted all my saved games. Deleted the Cache in my STEAM folder. Saved the game with a potion, saved trying to sleep for the night in different beds and villages (even my BED in the main castle). It all resorts to the same thing. The game tried to save and my FPS counter shows 92 FPS in the top corner and the other corner is that loading game icon and the rest of the screen is black. This happens after I meet them under the scaffolding, win the first fight, then go meet that guy carrying the body away from the monastery by the Miller house. Ive tried this a dozen times in the last 2 days and cant take it anymore. The game is now completely unplayable. This never happened before in this game until now. I am at save position 51.

Is there hotfix or one that they are working on to fix this?
Should I tried saving the game another way or another location?

The House of God - Seeking Zomla.
Zomla claims he knows where Leshek is hiding. So I went there and found him carrying his body from the Miller House. I killed him with my bow. This time I didn’t loot either of them and went into the mIller house and went to sleep in the only cot there. Sure enough, hung crashed. Same as 20 times I tried before.

Today I found I had last Oct/2017 NVidia 1080 Ti drivers installed. So I installed the latest version 390.77

Confirmed I am running Kingdom Come v. 1.2.5 the latest on steam says I am up to date.
I reset all my graphics options to default. that set everything to medium.
Tried playing again from save #51 where I just hand to hand melee that guy under the scaffolding. But instead of going straight to Zomla to challenge him for killing Leshek I went straight to the Inn and booked a room for the night. went to bed and when the game attempted to save and load waking up it hung again. Screenshot attached.

Use this save mod and it will fix your issue with saving… https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/1

Before I installed this I read the forum for this patch and they said this

The only known workaround I know of is to sprint down (skip the ladders, just jump down) and catch Zmola either before or after he kills the guy in the mill. He takes the path to the right if you look towards the mill if he manages to kill him. The devs are as far as I know aware of the bug.

Ok, I figured out a fix/solution.

I didn’t go see Zmola right away. I just waited away from the millers house until the game updated me the quest for the next quest in line. It was just a 10 min wait. Probably solved. I was able to use the Millers house bed to spend the night and keep playing. whew. So happy I can still play the game now.
