So far i'm having fun with this expansion and it seems to fix all the stuff i thought was a problem with FE. I'd have more fun, but the game crashes so darn often. I'm also getting "Dx: Invalid Call" crashes.

I've gotten a few crashes, but by far the most come when I get to choose a champion. The window always delays a bit, but if it delays by over a second I know I'm getting a CTD. This happens probably 4 out of 10 times or so.
You both might want to provide a link to a debug.err from one of your crashes so the developers can see your hardware and software configurations.
Can you expand on that? Never used it. I found the file but there is only one and I've a lot more than one crash.
Where do I upload my debug.err so that i can link to it?
The debug.err file is generated each time you start FE/LH. It records hardware and software configuration info and a log of events for that session of the game. You can find it in your Documents\MyGames\LegendaryHeroes directory. Since it's recreated on each start you'll only find one.
Most of us who have been beta testing for a while use DropBox or a similar service to pass files to the developers. DropBox is a free service that lets you store files on a cloud server; it has a "Public" folder that lets you generate a URL that others can use to see the file. If you install DropBox there will be a DropBox folder on your desktop. Open it, open the Public folder inside it, and copy your debug.err into it (maybe rename the file to something unique in case you want to save more than one). After the file is automatically uploaded to the DropBox server (there will be a green check on the lower left of the file icon when that's complete) right click on the file, and choose the DropBox, Copy Public Link option. Then paste that link into a forum append and the devs will be able to see your file.
Note that on crashes, you'll often also find files named like legendaryheroes_x_crash_2013_....mdmp or .zip that are memory dumps that are also very useful to the developers. You'll find them in Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\FE Legendary Heroes.
(Note: There are other cloud services that do the same function as DropBox. I only have experience with DropBox, so that's the one I can explain how to use. You can get DropBox from dropbox.com).
Alright, edited the top with the mdmp, dmp and .zip files. Thanks for your help Publius. I already have a Dropbox account, but at 11:00 pm one starts to forget these things.
I'm glad I could help. I hope your files help Stardock to debug the problems.
Great game, and many awesome improvements since the original version, but I'm also getting tons of crashes. Entering combat, saving, and other times as well. The most frustrating thing is that half the time when the game crashes it doesn't close down completely, and I can't force-close it via Task Manager either. I'm getting tired of rebooting, but would love to see FE:LH working properly....
So, following the instructions above, here's the link to my debug file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6410261/debug.err
