If you are talking about v1.3 patch of the game you must first extract it to a temporary directory of the directory of the game, then double click on the "BAP_installer" and the patch will automatically be applied on the game.

Well the patch file is compressed. the first time you double click on it you will have to choose where those files(that contains the patch) are to be extracted to. it doesn't matter where, just remember where you chose to extract them. Go to the folder that contains the new files and you will find "BAP_installer" file a readme file and a folder named "data". Double click on the BAP_installer.exe" file and the patch will be installed automatically.

So far, I haven't had one crash (knock on wood). I have 1.3 installed. At this point I don't think I would install 1.4 for fear of it causing something.
When in doubt, smack it with a war hammer.... :D
