Additional stash tabs causing a crash

I have just upgraded my account to supporter status and spent the cash shop currency on stash tabs, this is the only thing that has changed in game.
I purchased 5 tabs, went to load the game and when i loaded my character it stuck on the loading screen for the forest encampment.

I then have an Exception message saying that it was Unable to deserialise packet with Pid 1
and another with


Then this

i try to log on again and that worked fine, had a look at the new tabs then ported to another area...when i tried to port back the same thing happened, stuck on the forest encampment loading screen and crashed the game.

Loaded up again only for it to crash as it did the first time.

loaded again and got in, and tested to see if it was the forrest encampment itself causing the crash and ported here and there and always back to the camp and no crash.

opend my stash again moved some stuff into the new tabs and tried again and it crashed.

Was just reading http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/61867
And it seems it may be the hardcore race that's causing the problems.
I just assumed that it was the new tabs because upgrading my account and buying the tabs was the first thing i did this morning before logging into the game and the game has been fine since i installed it.
