What is the “An Error Occurred” issue in Lethal Company
While trying to enter a crew hosted by other players, you will encounter an error message that says “An Error Occurred.” This does not seem like a server issue, neither does it look like a connection error. Unfortunately, without fixing this, you cannot get into a crew and start your journey to collect some scraps and meet your profit quota.
