normally i can relate a server crash to some mod but i cant figure out what this is caused by, anyone knows?

 

edit: ive got a hunch its either the character mod Wortox, or Wiley, is this possible?

because it was pretty stable before i used those 2

@GrandTickler The character description strings were reworked pretty heavily. My guess is that one of the character mods has a status that isn't in the default table:

        PLAYER =
        {
            GENERIC = "Greetings, %s!",
            ATTACKER = "%s looks shifty...",
            MURDERER = "Murderer!",
            REVIVER = "%s, friend of ghosts.",
            GHOST = "%s could use a heart.",
        },

and whatever strings they might've had written for them don't fit into the new description string table layout.

thanks a lot for the quick reply, i'll remove the character mods i have in future worlds and see if that prevents the crashes

Thanks for reporting this, we'll try to patch it so it won't crash when specific strings are missing, and just use the generic player ones.
