Saved Game No Longer Loads: Failed to localize leader name with key...

[Osiris1975]

I have a save that I was playing fine, then I quit the game, restarted, and now it won't load. There are a bunch of ' Failed to localize leader name with key ' at the end of the crash log. I've attached the file.

I'd really appreciate any help as I was really enjoying this playthrough. I do have a lot of mods and I did hear the PI made some changes to namelists so not sure if this would've broken from that.

I'm having the same issue. "Failed to localize leader name with key" last thing in the log.

Having the same problem here, its very frustrating. My save wont let me go past a certain date, it freezes with this error every time.

I've been modding namelists quite a bit lately and I am not sure this is the cause of the freezing. It's such a common error that it just appears so. I believe any mod that uses namelists but does not include the localizations for those lists will show this error. As far as I can tell since it's not a critical error it wouldn't actually cause a game crash.

The original error log is HUGE and FILLED with mod errors which is abnormal. Just wrong syntax left and right. And even one wrong syntax can cause a cascade of errors and crashes.

You're right that the "Failed to localize" shouldn't be fatal.

As for solving it, make sure all mods are updated to 3.7, see if still happens, disable mods until it doesn't happen

Also see if there are any script errors. Those can cause crashes. I had to disable gigastructures mod due to script errors but my crashed stopped once I did.
