For reference, since this involves my mod...

This is caused when a mod has a sprite (or in my case, a Faction icon) with a missing file.

Then a PB script tries to create an empty MySprite(), which crashes in the render with a NRE.

Hello, Engineers,

thanks for letting us know about this issue that you are experiencing. The issue has been reported into our internal system.

Kind Regards
