Crashing when trying to load sprite intensive mods

I'm currently playing the whole Pyanodons mod pack and am having issues with the game loading. It will get through to around 50%, and then crash. I suspect this is as the sprite loading system is not multi-threaded so is only running on one - out of eight - of my CPU's. To remedy this I tried booting it with steam forcing it to load low res textures and this helped, but rather a lot of the time -especially if I have a browser open- fails to load. I am running on a brand new top of the range pc so I didn't think I'd have performance issues and don't once I get into the game. Anyone got any suggestions?

No idea if it will help, but you can try changing the "Atlas size" in graphics settings. I think it's separate from texture resolution.

Number of threads used to load sprites is a setting in the config file. Default seems to be 32.
You need to upload your log file from after a crash. It has important info like your computer specs and where the crash occured.

Can you attach a log file?
