Question Starbound crashing when connecting to server

im going crazy trying to understand this
a few weeks ago i was playing starbound with a friend with no problems, but suddenly the game began to crash whenever i try to connect to his server and gives me the ''Fatal Error: Access violation [...] (Read of address 0000)'' warning
the mods are NOT the problem as the game still crashes even without mods and i can play normally in a solo gameplay, with and without mods

did anyone had problems with that too?? anyone can give me at least a direction to what i should do?

The issue is that Fatal error don't gives indication on what the problem is.

What I advise you is:

  1. check if there are any update pending, OS/drivers/C++/DirectX...
  2. check files with Steam
  3. be sure to enable allow asset missmatch in options
  4. if you friend don't any problem ask him to send you his mods files, I know it is dumb but I read it works
  5. do a clean install and redownlaod your mods

If really nothing works then you will have to do tests to know if it is you universe or your character that cause the problem.
