Hi,
Crashing with this game is a common problem, works great when everything is installed properly.
Stadiums, portraits and then faces leading the crash way.
It looks like you took the manual install approach using EAgragh and then BigGUI, this is the only way i install mods.
So you can probably exclude the portraits not being compressed as the problem.
I don't use TiT,
TiT works great, if you are 100% sure of all the files you are about to install, because problems easily start to occur once it encounters a file that was created using one of the FiFa tools, leading to the FiFaAS error, then TiT freezes up and the files become corrupt and unusable.
All it takes is one.
This is also the reason why you should always back up your files right before you install anything.
I know this problem,
I am pretty sure when you go and check that portraits.big file it is very small now, it went from something like 236,465,920 bytes to 187 or something like that, its become corrupted and now unusable, because one of the programs that TiT uses (which is many) doesn't play well with any file that was created using a Fifa tool.
It's not your roster, because you said it works when you go back to the portrait file from the 2020 mod.
What i will do is send you one of my portrait.big files from the end of 2022 around OCT/NOV, it will work with your roster, and then you can take it from there and install everything from Oct-22 to your roster date of 4-17-2023.
This should help you,
