When loading the previous autosave (old_autosave), the crash does not occur for at least a year.

What does the exception.txt say? The first few lines of the demangled stack trace usually have the function names where the crash happens. You can probably find existing bugreports with more info if you search the forum for these function names

Thanks for that tip. The first few lines are these. I'll do a search for a couple of those functions and see if anything comes up.

Looks like this is a known issue. Resolved with a workaround (using Proton).

This is the most common crash on macOS and linux in the current eu4 version. It happens when a country gets fully annexed in a peace deal(CPeaceOffer::Execute, CCountry::Annex, CCountry::NotifyLostLastProvince) while it has a subject(CDependency::Transfer) which has its independence supported. It doesn't happen for your friend, because independence support is a DLC feature, so the support gets broken when loading the save(and/or because they use a different OS or because it is an instance of the crash which does not happen on all systems). You can avoid the crash if you prevent that peace deal in some way. You can for example load it in single-player and use console commands to tag over to the war winner and make a peace deal which doesn't involve full annexation or you can use the delete_wars console command to delete the war or you can use the annex console command to make the overlord annex the subject or you can break the independence support. Or you can pass the date of the crash on the windows version of the game(e.g. via proton).

Thank you @grotaclas !
