If you are experiencing crashes to menu in multiplayer (fix)
My friend and I were having the same problem and I was able to fix it by modifying some server settings.

[servertest.ini]
'PingFrequency' The description is "time between each client ping, in seconds" I changed ours from "10" which is the default to "5"

'PingLimit' The description is "Ping limit in milliseconds before being kicked from the server' Default is "400" I changed this value to "1000" alternatively one could set this to 0 to disable this entirely

'CoopMasterPingTimeout' I could not find a description for this setting, but following the theme since it seemingly deals with timeout I doubled it from '60' default to '120'

The result of these changes is that my friend and I went from crashing the main menu all the time to where it was almost unplayable to never crashing once after these settings were modified.

First of all, thank you for posting your proposal.

I applied your fixes, but unfortunately the game is still unstable when using this mod, experiencing random client crashes! :(
Is your server still running smooth?

I stopped playing, but we played for over a week without crashes.

I should point out that we had major performance issues and crashing after applying these settings, sadly. Went away as soon as the CZ mod was removed

My experience with this mod on my server was crawlers caused the crash. I set crawlers to 0% and everyone who was crashing stopped.
