I tried all sorts of ways, but to no avail

One peculiarity is that it crashes even when ffx is inserted in a new project, and when the project file containing that ffx is opened, it crashes.

warning message does not appear

You haven't said what version of After Effects you're using (the exact version number, not just the year), whether this happened after updating, if it happens on other projects, or even what operating system you have, so there's not much to go on. The only things I can reccomend trying are first, seeing if there are any updates, and second create a new project and import your problematic .aep into the new one. This often fixes issues with projects that have corrupted header data, but it preserves your comps and animation.

2020 (17.0) and no updates

If I just put ffx it crashes

It crashes even when I put ffx in it, and it crashes even when I open a project with ffx in it.

Projects without ffx are open

Is there a reason you're still on 2020? There have been some major performance improvements in the last year. Even 17.0 isn't the latest version of 2020, there were several patches of 17.0, so the best thing to do is update. You can also trash your preferences, but 17.7 was the last released version of 17.x, but I recommend installing AE 22, which can be installed alongside AE 20 (as long as you make sure to uncheck the box to "Remove Previous Versions" when you upgrade).
