I don't know if this is on discord's end but it really sucks that I can't talk to my friends when loading up the game or starting a new world (Please note I have recreated the bug at least 3 times and I'm pretty sure it was caused by discord). This bug doesn't happen during gameplay, only during load menus. I got pretty sick of this and decided to closed discord and the background processes of discord as well, and all of a sudden the game loaded perfectly. So I turned of the screenshare and it crashed again. So I thought, maybe it's the screenshare. I thought this was odd and tried again, this time it crashed in the loading menu of the game before I could even start making a new game. I got about 30% of the way through the load menu when the game crashed.
I was in a call with a couple of my friends excited to play the game for the first time (note I was screensharing). I started a randomly generated world with all the basic settings (8K x 8K world). I thought it was an issue with my mic or antivirus software blocking my mic, but after numerous tests I've realized it's discord related. I can hear people perfectly fine, but no one can hear me. So I fresh installed the game yesterday, completely brand new. Where the connection is red on my PC, ping count is around 5000ms.
