You can read about these problems on the official site. There are a significant number of people reporting game crashes, failing to install, and lock ups.
I agree. Usually patches that are released immediately after a game's release are small and deal solely with 'show stopper' bugs, bugs in general and game breaking imbalances that can be fixed and tested in a short period of time. Anything that requires serious tweaking and/or balancing is usually left for a more substantial patch later on. However, the fact that RTW is extremely playable right now and doesn't seem to sport any show stopper bugs means CA might decide to wait and release a large, bug squashing/tweaked/re-balanced patch sometime this winter.
