Game crash on 'Graphics Loading'

[LunarEyen]

Hi all,

I've just finished my first game of 'vanilla' EU4 with some minor adjustments which all went fine.

Now I tried a conversion mod but all of them crash the game when launching on the 'Graphics Loading' portion of starting up. Reinstalling the mods as well as reinstalling EU4 did not fix the problem. I have tried both manual installs of the mods as well as via the paradox launcher. I am using the GOG version of the game on 1.36.2 on Windows 11.

I've tried:
- Abennar
- Warcraft Universalis
- Elder Scrolls Universalis

I've checked the error.logs each time after starting up and the only thing they have in common seems to be (my systems language is not English, text.log has no text):
[localize.cpp:671]: Localization hash collision found, more info in text.log! Language: l_english
[localize.cpp:671]: Localization hash collision found, more info in text.log! Language: l_english

Sometimes it also mentions it cannot find certain files such as this from the Elder Scrolls Universalis error.log:
[assetfactory.cpp:776]: Could not find animation file gfx/models/Units/animation/Hab2_anim.anim (referenced near line 53 in gfx/models/Units/animation/zwei_animsasset.asset)

Hope someone can help me!

Several people seem to have had problems with mods on gog, but I don't know if this was ever fixed:

Hope someone from Paradox knows more and/or can reply if it is being fixed.

Otherwise I will unfortunately have to refund the game as I bought it to be able to play with mods as well.

Best to lodge a new thread in the current Bug Reports forum (as that link is to the old archived forum, which I doubt anyone reads).

Meantime you could post in the User Mods forum here, see if anyone has found a workaround there.
