I can see that you have been in-game since you made this post, I'm guessing you managed to solve your problem?

I obviously say yes here. Hopefully it actually sends them and they look at them. I tried verifying the game files... it didn't find any issues. I don't have any active mods, but I'll try completely deleting them I guess.

Yeah, even remnants of old mods can cause this issue. You should move any mods you have downloaded out of your mod folder and try to launch the game again.

I was able to launch into multiplayer, but singleplayer crashes while the horse is galloping before the forge cinematic with the error posted above still.

Ah damn, Are there any other remnants of mod files anywhere? Maybe verify your game files through Steam too just in case.

If that doesn't help, you could make a bug report in the Technical Support section of the forum so that one of our support team can try to assist you further.
