Now, regarding the patcher, what exactly is happening? Does it crash when you click the "Run Map Processor" button? Or does the window prompting you to select a map for patching appear, but problems arise when you click "Start Processing"?
In any case, first, remove the unnecessary mods, launch the game through the Launcher -> Play (or, if that doesn't work, through bin/H5_Game_MCCS.exe), and check the functionality of the artifacts on one of the standard maps.
