EU4 constantly crashing in-game [MacOS]

[theyummycookie5]

Game has just been crashing randomly during my games and won't let me get past the crashing point. First happened at around 1490 or so playing Hormuz and again at around 1450 playing Kongo. Was willing to abandon those games because they happened early but it's happening again playing Germany around 1650. No idea what the cause could be. Playing on 1.37.4.

Sorry if I mess something up with the logs or if this is a pretty obvious issue haha, I'm pretty technologically incompetent. Lmk if anything else is needed!

hey bud, this is a mac only issue that we all struggle with

it's been this way since KoK. it happens only to Macs whenever a Ai or player nation is formed. You're not the only one. We're not sure the timeline on a fix as PDX has confirmed it for some time and has released multiple patches without a fix. Good luck

This is not the nation formation crash. You can see in the exception.txt that it crashes when creating textures for an event which gets triggered during CGovernmentPowerInstance::MonthlyUpdate. As you are playing Germany, I guess that the crash happens when your cultural unity bar fills up. I think you can avoid this particular crash by doing something which directly gets the bar to 100 while the game is paused(e.g. deving a province of the correct culture).
