when I load up my game, I get this message

"We were unable to create a working Story. Your add-on setup might be invalid"

How do I fix? All of my journal entries are gone

This occurs if you have a mod installed with code that doesn't compile. Try removing the mod causing the issue and also delete it from here: Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\Mods

figured it out. I had an outdated version of the mod "Civil Auras" that conflicted with the latest patch. I downloaded the latest one and everything is good to go.

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, it does not fix save files that you've overwritten during the mod conflict/story bug, so journals stay permanently wiped. Luckily, I have 10 autosaves 5-10 minutes apart from each other, so it didn't affect me.

Just a heads up for anyone else who does heavy modding: create multiple saves frequently.

How did you find out the mod was out of date?

I checked the mod page to see the last time it was updated
