How to read this crash file

[Mrjuanblack]

Hello, I'm part of a modded server, and we had a few crashes with some players, it seems to be random, they crash a lot for a while, then they can play normally.

This is the crash log

From what I can see, it seems the game crash because it can't render something on the player's hand, but I cant see which item or mod is causing this. Is there a way to check which specific item/mod is causing this crash? All the players who crashed have this same crash log

It appears that the server is running a somewhat outdated version of Combat Overhaul. Updating to v0.1.24 might already do the trick. If not, the server owner could try if updating to a more recent version will help. The later mod versions are tagged with higher game versions, but generally patch game version updates (vx.xx.3) don't change anything drastic.

Still, backups are always a good idea before doing to some testing.

Thank you! I'll test updating Combat Overhaul.
