  Thank you for testing the suggested fixes listed in the article and for sending your logs.
  
  To help us narrow down the cause of the issue, does the issue persist if you run the server as a LAN Server?
  
  Here's how to create a new private LAN Server:
  1.) Create a new server via Main Menu > Play > Private Game
  2.) Edit the game settings to enable LAN via Game Settings > Game Settings > LAN Server.
  3.) Save the settings and return to the Private Game setup screen
  4.) Start the server
  
  How to load an existing server as a LAN Server:
  1.) Select the server in the Load Game screen
  2.) Enable the LAN Server setting
  3.) Start the server
  
  Let us know whether the issue persists with this setting!

  I am also having this issue. I even tried reverting the game to 1.0 via the betas tab but same issue. No issues whatsoever over last couple months.
  Cannot play old saves OR create a new world.

  Exactly the same as above. Tried everything in that article, no antivirus or firewalls. Problem persists.

  I'm having the same issue, even after a fresh install. My folders below are empty though. No firewall issue. I can join online games but I can't make private LAN game. I have no existing saves, I did a fresh install thinking it'd help.
  
  a) %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\backtrace\crashpad\reports
  b) %tmp%\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Crashes
