The curious case of FIFA 14 crashes

V.K

Starting XI
I have been modding FIFA 14 for almost 10 years now (and games for about 15) so I would like to assume I know what I'm doing most of the time.
Yet there are still crashes I don't understand.

Just to be lear, this is a not a jab at patch authors, I am sure they are releasing working builds, but I usually have a lot of custom assignments/additions on top, and while they might be the reason for the crashes, I still fail to understand the following examples:

A.
1. I start a friendly game between Brazil 2010 and Argentina 2010 in CP14, everything works fine.

2. I start this game once more, and at the kit selection screen the game freezes and I can only Alt+F4 it

How is this possible?

B.
1. I open Edit Player and go to look at Hugo Lloris in France 2018, the game crashes.
2. I start a game between France 2018 and Brazil 2018, and the game starts just fine, Hugo Lloris works fine, his boots and gloves work fine.
3. I open Edit Player and go to look at Hugo Lloris in France 2018 again, and everything works fine.
How is this possible?

C.
Crash at skill games before the game - I have no idea, really.

I have my theory that F14 has some sort of RAM limit of all the things it can load at the same time. I remember when I tried using x2048 boot textures matches would crash but with x1024 they work fine,
So I can guess that when I open Edit Player and go to look at Hugo Lloris in France 2018 the game needs to load face, kit, jerseyfont, kitnumbers, tattoos, gloves, boots - it may be a lot and it crashes?
Or can it be connected to hardware CPU/disc space/RAM/GPU limitations? I have a feeling the game crashes less when it is the only app launched (though I have 16 GB RAM and I can't imagine that's not enough for FIFA 14.
Maybe the GPU needs to load too much stuff in GPU memory, it spikes and the game crashes?

Maybe it's Revolution Mod code errors.
Lastly, I am launching all these mods with Jenkey's File Loader so maybe that is the cause if the inconsistent crashes.

In any case, I would love to hear ideas regarding how this is possible.

check the famous playername. check for a crash when you click advance to match or editor check the id of name and lastname.

i remember I had that problem when playing manchester utd 07-07 vs manchester utd 10-11 in a custom tournament. I never known what was the cause.

The weird thing is that the crashes happen even with default CP/Jbou DBs and I trust them to be bug free.
