Game crashes on "Generating Borders"

[Challenger2008]

First thing I should say is that this happens because of a mod called Extended Timeline. Vanilla works, but I am the only person with this problem! I talked to the guy that created the mod he says he has no idea what is going on. And this is on windows 7 by the way.

The game loads and goes to generate graphics and then the borders. Then the game exists to desktop and says "Europa Universalis IV has stopped working...". It gets really weird, because it only works as soon as i turn my computer on. If i wait 5 minutes it will not work anymore and will crash every time i try to turn it on. So then I thought maybe it's steam that does it, i tried turning steam off and running it, still crashes. I reinstalled the game entirely, it still crashes. I changed the resolution, it still crashes. And all my friends have this mod too and this doesn't happen.

The game does change the borders of the map, but if that is the cause I don't see why I would be the only one with this problem. Is there something I'm overlooking?

Not really sure what to suggest, to be honest. In general we only help with non-mod issues here. As it seems to be in the graphics area, have you looked at your video drivers, and options in settings.txt ?

Try ALL these; the game will look weird but see if it still crashes. If not then you can undo your changes one by one.
