(SOLVED) Anybody else getting a NullReference error when they boot ?
The client gets stuck on "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and all the text in the menu has '$Menu_' in front of it. None of the buttons in the settings or world selector work, and only my local world shows up, which i still can't run due to 'some error'.
I don't have any mods and have already uninstalled and reinstalled and validated files, as well as disabling antivirus software and steam/nvidia overlays and even tried disabling controller support.
Anybody experience this and find a fix? I love this game but I can't even play it as of now.

Wow, i am an idiot hahaha I totally forgot that when I briefly joined a dedicated server some time ago they had me install a mod despite it being mostly vanilla. When I looked to see if i had mods I overlooked it, but deleting it totally fixed the issue, which makes so much more sense now. Hope this helps anybody else out there, double check for mods, the updates tend to break em!You should probably add this to the top so people don't have to read all this to find the answer.

Sounds like a file somewhere got corrupted.. Might try validating game files, or may have to reinstall the game..

Huh... maybe the world or character files? Can try saving a copy somewhere safe and starting a new game without them.. or with the .old versions, if any.
Other then that.. not sure, maybe something external to the game.. av program doing something weird possibly?

Create a complete new character and new world. If that works, try either your old char in a new world, or a new char in your old world to see what works.
I guess a mod (if you had any previously) might have corrupted your char or world.

Yeah.. NREs usually mean the game tried to pull a value from somewhere, and got a 0 returned instead of what it was expecting.. guessing it has to be something corrupted, missing, or blocked by something..
