hey is there any chance you can help? me and my girlfriend play together (she hosts) and when she loads our game it crashes and closes down. We dont use any ,ods or anything and we have been playing the game the last few days, go to play it today and it keeps crashing. I installed SMAPI to try and help run it, but it made it worse by getting strawdew stuck in the start up loop (white screen - main title - loading screen of a save - back to white screen - repeat.
I found the error log if it is any help:
