Wow that was quite the adventure.
Those OpenGL errors were caused by two bugs. Each was a trip down a rabbit hole to find the cause and then a solution.
One of those OpenGL errors was caused when a texture was used after being destroyed. It was the texture of the planet that is displayed in the world map on a spacecraft. The error happened in the render frame in which the texture was updated.
The other OpenGL error was caused when a vertex array object was destroyed and recreated. It was the polygon showing the empire's flag on a capitol building and a military HQ. The error happened in the render frame in which the vertex array objects were updated.
Neither bug caused a crash on my computer. However, either bug could have caused a crash in your GPU driver, depending on how it handled those situations.
I am building a client update now, starting with the Windows 64 bit version. Please try it to see if the crash is fixed. From the time of this posting, it will probably be another hour and a half before the Windows 64 version is finished building.
