thats the stable version. hmm 😕 probably not ace i think @DaniAngione?  
i know i dont touch it (nordlingmod)  
i think dense fields ocasionall causes trouble, and i dont think autoharvestmod plays nice with ace? but thats all i can think of honestly.

Delete the “animations” folder. That’s a corrupted animation cache.

I was encountering this error every 1-5 hours until I adjusted my graphics settings towards higher qualities. I also enabled ambient occlusion and anti aliasing. I also had this occur when an enemy is within attack range but is stuck in an area they cannot attack from. Typing Ctrl C, selecting enemy mobs and typing destroy is a great clearing method for anything hung up.

Hope this helps!

There is a known error with the Decoy Trap animation as well (it’s listed on the known errors of ACE);  
If you have any Decoy Traps, remove them as quickly as you can when you load (alternatively, just CTRL+C to open console and type “destroy” and press enter with them clicked to completely vaporize them)

That’s the only error related to animations with ACE that I could think of in the current stable version. Oh, and the bunny archers with crossbows one!
