Bug Description: When my wife tries to join my game, her screen shows a "NullReferenceException" error, and then nothing happens. It seems her player profile is corrupted, because if I delete her player files from the Player folder, she can join again as a brand new player. But she'd then lose everything she had. Before this bug started happening, her game was glitching often, randomly kicking her out of the game and spawning her at the wrong location if she rejoined. Now she cannot join the game at all.

She is able to join other maps and I can join hers, but this is a map we've put a lot of hours into.

 
I would definitely troubleshoot why she's being kicked out from your P2P host. One part I would look at is port forwarding for your internal IP address, since you're the host and it seems she's failing to connect through litenetlib, which can cause issues networking wise (describing your symptoms).

As far as fixing the corrupted player file... honestly unless you have a backup, fixing the save is pretty much impossible. 

You can add her as an admin in the console, "admin add Mana 0", then you can have her enable CM in the console and acquire lost items from the creative menu "U". "giveselfxp 500000" until she hits the level she was at. For traders, "givequest_test_turnin" will give a turnin quest, do that to unlock tiers.
