Crash with Co-Op Windows and Mac

[Briano]

Hello,
My son an I are tying to use Co-Op feature in StartDew Valley via LAN. My son on Windows 10 created a new game, builds a cabin, then starts the Host. I'm on macOS (Intel) I connect to his computer, then game crashes on my end. We re both running 1.6.8.
My son runs with several mods installed, but he said he deactivated them before starting the Host.

Is this something which should work? (ie: Windows and Mac co-op)
Do we need to uninstall my son's mods first?

Any suggestions would be appreciated...thank you.....Brian

How did he deactivate the mods? It could be an issue of them still running.

Also it may be an issue with crossplay between mac and windows, I'm not sure if they are cross compatible for multiplayer

He deactivated his mods by launching the game with the standard icon rather than the Smapi one.....Brian
