I crash my friends server when joining

As somebody who does IT for a living, that's a bad rule. Look at it this way. If you're car won't start why the heck would you check tire pressure? You check the battery, starter relay, ignition switch, etc. It is fairly incorrect common knowledge to disable a firewall or run as admin. Both are absolutely the worst two things one can do. If it runs as admin, you have a permissions issue that could lead to bigger issues down the road. You can also cause permissions issues when saved files are stored with the built-in admin SID.

But I digress, as I could go on and on about the dumb things people do which have nothing to do with fixing an actual problem. If his firewall was blocking traffic to the game executable, nobody else could join. A firewall does not single out an IP and malform packets in an attempt to crash an application.

My personal advice would be this. Go to Steam and uninstall 7 Days. DO NOT REINSTALL YET. Go to the Steam/steamapps/common folder and delete the 7 Days folder (otherwise you do not get a clean reinstall later). Go to your Users/username/AppData/LocalLow folder and either rename (to backup) or delete the folder "The Fun Pimps" as this will clear bad settings and such. Now reinstall the game and just play Navezgane. If it works, then you had a bad setting, you had a bad mod, something left behind after the previous uninstall was bad, whatever. If it continues to happen then, I would be looking for a core game bug, personally.

 
SOLVED!

I launched the game launcher and clicked the "reset to defaults" button. Had him do the same. Worked like a charm. Really weird. 

Thank you to everyone who offered advice.

Sounds like a bad setting. Too bad we do not know what setting caused this.

I have the same issue, and tried all of the above solutions (from previous post with same issue too). Nothing has worked, so maybe we can figure this one out now. I'm unsure to how the forum works though, do I create a separate post about the issue?

If its the same issue here is fine. A copy of your registry would be about the only help in figuring out what caused it, but regardless if wiping it works then all is well (since it is something that should be done between major updates anyway).

I'm not very good with computer-tech, so I apologize for not understanding most of this. I'm not entirely sure what a registry is, or how do I access it and give you a copy?

If this is any help, back when we tested at which stage the game crashes, the game logs would have this difference in the command-console:
 

Any normal player would show:

  • Allowing player with ID##
  • RequestToEnterGame ID##/'steamname'
Crashing player shows:

  • Allowing player with ID##
  • Crash!!! 
(Yes, the game log actually says crash, and then disappears, no error, crash logs, nothing)
