Remove the Scoreboard mod and animation events.

If that successfully stops the crash you can then try this to fix Scoreboard:

Edit for more detail:

Do all the things on this list that apply to you:

  • Scoreboard - uninstall or apply one of the fixes on the Modder’s discord
  • Animation events - uninstall
  • Cosmetic view improved (usually errors not crashes) - update from Nexus
  • Mourningstar Dialogue Improved (usually errors not crashes) - update from Nexus

I have neither of those 2 mods active and still crashing with the same error message as OP.

Edit: Its the improved cosmetics mod.

I don’t have improved cosmetics mod :smiley:

Installed scoreboard fix. Thank you. Will try it now, but reading the error message, I suppose it’s not caused by mod. The issue is it’s probably impossible to reproduce the crash, as I don’t know the cause and it was a single crash.

For most of the logs I’ve looked at the Scoreboard is trying to record a player in the team dropping(?) some sort of crate(?) and Scoreboard, the animation events plugin and the localisation manager interact to crash when there is no valid localisation for the crate. Most easily replicated with a Hive Scum in the group but maybe other classes too.

Also issues with Cosmetics View Improved but usually only error messages rather than a crash.

This doesn’t lead anywhere for me
