happened once on my world save too, though seems to have fixed itself upon re-attempting to load the save after the game crashed.
-- not too sure what got broken in the 1.0 update, but there have been semi-frequent fatal errors and hard-freezes occurring lately.

I tried doing the intro or joining a different server and It does the same.
EDIT: this is an error detail:
Fatal error!

Well, I cannot even start the game, so it is kinda hard to accept it.

The solution is to change the input device in the options.

what do you mean by input device? like in your windows settings for your mic input? Or is this related to your steam settings. My friend is having this very issue, so we are looking for a method to fix it.

In the game options, change the input device for voice comms. The in-game voice chat will not work obviously, but that is the fix I found for now.
