I encountered this issue this morning as well. I did not die, but received an error message saying that I was not running the correct version. Then the screen went white.
Now I chose my character, and it crashes as soon as the game finishes loading. It is worth noting that every time this occurs it does allow me to submit a report, and I have done so.
Is there a more expedient resolution to this? I had just found an iron vein for the first time, right next to the village I joined.
