Persistent crashing, on reloading I'd get either a scriptmodule or a pathfinding error within about two minutes every time, or a crash at a plot critical point, after an initial crash citing a "no disk" error. That was on EFIGS standard retail.

Ah. I ask because I get a lot of saves that CtD when you load them, but if you load the last autosave first and then the proper save they're fine.
I've often wondered if this was widely known or would help with a lot of 'corrupted save' reports, but your example sounds more severe than what I'm talking about.

A solution/explanation to the pixel shader 1.1 warning can be found here:

Basically, when the SSOA option is set to High, the game will block during start with that error. Editing the user.ltx config file does the trick. You can try saving a copy of it using patch .07 then overwrite the new user.ltx from patch .08 with it.

didn't work for me.

I don't find the parameters he mentions to change in my user.ltx

Then I started game with 07, set the SSOA setting to medium, patched to 08, and tadaa, same pixelshader problem again.

I remember not finding them myself at self, so i basically added them to the text file, after some similat r2_ parameters. It worked for me.
