Hmmm ... I am mostly using characters in the range of 90000 to 111000. Maybe vanilla characters are tickling back in although I thought I have removed them by putting "replace_path = "history/characters" in my mod file.

It has to do with map mod testing a bit. I am looking for anything that breaks the game. Could well be my map changes (rivers etc.)

Fair enough but there is a fast way to check if the crashes are map-related. Check the system log (where everything is loading -- around 3.5Mo in size if vanilla is loaded correctly) look for provinces adjacencies and just after the adjacencies definitions, there is the line (if the map works) [id.cpp:***] Map Initialized.
So if you have this line in your mod log then the map works just fine ; could remains some glitches of course but anyway the map won't cause CTD.

About your particular problem, dynasties/characters conflicts can cause issues when the titles are affected to those conflicting ids. But most probably, the CTD reason doesn't appear in the log. What kind of changes did you do to the map ?

Do you know if those things can "break" the game before it even loads up? I once spent hours putting in all the positions in positions.txt until I realised that those do not really matter after all.

Yep, I spent maybe 2 hours to figure out a CTD in my update in DEIOU for 1.10 ... I put a sea province as passing province for a portage ...

EDIT : But if the adjacencies break the loading, it is at the very beginning of the loading.
 
Well I changed pretty much everything, take a look: Link

I guess I'll have to write down all those adjacenies. Even if it is not the imminent problem I guess it is needed for the map to work properly.

The setup log does print out lots of adjacensies and ends with this:
Code: 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 413 ==> 48 49 66 67 385 400 409 412 414 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 414 ==> 49 50 70 83 412 413 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 415 ==> 5 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 416 ==> 92 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 417 ==> 139 
[map.cpp:1507]: Adjacencies for 418 ==> 41 
[ck_application.cpp:1283]: Map Initialized

About characters: They should be pretty consistent. I've checked them with the Validator up and down. Currently only one guy is owning land (haven't migrated the full county histories as of yet).
 
Korbah created a thread for crashes on 1.10 updates for map modders. Apparently you can't have independant dejure duchies (a dejure duchy not being in a dejure kingdom). You must also always keep at least one portage but major_rivers are not mandatory.
You should check that thread if it doesn't help.
 
Thanks for pointing me to the other thread. I hadn't seen that. With one added portage I still have the problem.

Those error messages might be helpful but I can't really wrap my head around them:

Maybe something more general is wrong with my map. Thing is, I used one single giant ocean province before. The split in ~25 sea provices is rather recent.

Province 1 is one of the Wasteland provinces in the east of the map. Far away from the ocean or a major river. The following ones are provinces that border those new sea provinces. My positions.txt still is blanked out so there are no wrong numbers in there.

All my counties and duchies are part of various kingdoms. The Scenario Editor displays them in the right way. As my landed_titles.txt is auto generated there shouldn't be much wrong with it.
 
The rivers and locations bugs doesn't cause a CTD. The locations bug are normal since you have no positions defined (and the engine put the ports in the center of provinces) and the 'Too small river' bug is due of a wrongly designed river (remember that only main rivers need to have a green dot at the beginning, tributaries must start directly with a blue pixel whatever its size).

Do these lines of logs are the last one in the logs ?

Those lines are the whole content of the graphics.log :/

Ok then there is most probably something wrong with your map indeed and it doesn't appear in your logs (as always).
- Are you sure of the color palette and size of your files ?
- Did you chenged also the max_provinces value in default.map to fit your mod ?

Anyway to make it faster you could post your WIP files so that we can see wwhat's wrong by ourselves.
 
Sure, it would actually be pretty awesome if you would take the time to look at the files ;)

Some of it is still pretty messed up. I am still working on adapting the vanilla events and decisions for that different setting. I haven't even removed all the references to holdings that are not present from the events and decisions. But I guess problems with that would only surface later on.

Once it's uploaded an archive of the WIP mod can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/34ixucn5o57qvo4/SSEvuPOx3t

Edit: File's up!


Edit2: With a sea zone & a and a major river entry the game finally loaded. Weee! Thanks a lot Evander. You are a very kind and helpful person ;)

Can anyone explain to me what this means? I got it in the error log.

This is my first time attempting to do some map modding. All I did was add in some sea provinces in the Indian Ocean (based on jordarkelf's work), but it appears like something's not right. Here's what I got in the error log:

Code: 
[texturehandler.cpp:181]: Couldn't find texture file: gfx//event_pictures//aztec_court.tga.
[spritetype.cpp:370]: Error initialising texture: gfx\\event_pictures\\aztec_court.tga for spritetype GFX_evt_emissary_mesoamerican

[gfx_dx9.cpp:1436]: Error create vertices -2005530516 8 0 20
[gfx_dx9.cpp:1439]: managed

I assume it's something to do with the bitdepth at 32 and creating vertices at those two places - I dunno what they mean, though. Any ideas?


EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.

And a portage is? A connection of two sea provinces through a land province?
