Game crashes when I use the greater than or equal to option in a conditional branch to check a variable.

I'm trying to have an event have a character say a different thing with a conditional branch if a variable is set to 3, or above for example, however when I interact with the event the game crashes and I get this message:
---------------------------

So I was instead thinking of having different event pages for the variable, however whenever I load the game on the map with the event (transitioning into the map with the event seems fine), the game crashes and gives me this error:
---------------------------

Any idea on what to do here? I'm using essentials 16.2.

Make sure the variable you're using isn't being used for anything else as well. This should be obvious.
