Google Nik collection add on no longer works with updated CC

I recently downloaded the newest version of Adobe CC for photoshop (2018).  Now when I attempt to use my Nik collection Color Efex pro, or one of the other more complicated effects, Photoshop simply quits.  I uninstalled Nik and reinstalled, but to no avail.  Anybody else have this issue?

As to NIK not applying filters:  In Photoshop I changed my layer to a Smart Object. Next I went to NIK Color Effects Pro 4.  I clicked "Add" to each filter I wanted to be applied.  When finished selecting filters, I pressed OK in the lower right corner.  NIK now applied my filters to the original image in PS.  Hope this helps.

I am not the original poster, but I have had this same problem and the fix to change the settings for the Nik Filters for "click okay" from "applying filter to a new layer" to "apply filter to current layer" did fix the problem of photoshop crashing whenever I try to use the Nik filters.
However, this workaround is not ideal, as then I'm limited with the changes that the NIK filter makes - My workflow has often included making additional edits to ONLY the layer containing the NIK filter so that the final image is a mix of the original image and the NIK filters. Now I'm no longer able to do this so ultimately, I am not able to use the NIK software to the full extent of the intended programming.
Is adobe working to correct this problem for a future update?
