Solved [Bug] - Local Multiplayer - game closes down when the mermaid show should start

[Gennawr]

Me and my boyfriend have been playing Stardew Valley splitscreen since the new 1.5 update and started a new farm. During the first night of the Winter Market, we found that the game closed down when the mermaid show should start. You can enter the boat and see the room but after a few seconds, the game closed abruptly with no warning. Anyone else had this issue? I saw someone else posted about the issue on reddit

If you go to %appdata%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs, is there anything in that folder?

This crash will be fixed in the upcoming 1.5.2 bug-fix patch. It only happens if you are playing in split screen co op mode.
