This or something similar happened to me as well with Syberia 1. My solution was simply to tough it out: save often and hope that it didn't crash again on me. I tend not to look for patches because I have the slowest dialup in the history of mankind (including that of the Ottoman Empire circa the 1400s), and so downloads are slow and painful experiences akin to a tapeworm infestation. The Syberia problem probably won't cause that much a disruption for you, because I found it didn't crash that often. Sometimes, loading new screens may take a rather long time, but half the time it loads in regular time.
