Fatal Error when joining a friend, please help [RESOLVED]

Has anyone figured out this problem? I've seen some other people have had this problem recently. I can play solo, but when a ffriend trys to join my game he will crash, or I try and join his game my game crashes with a fatal error message.

Has anyone else ran into this problem and resolved it?

SEE MY LAST POST, ALSO LISTED BELOW'
====================================

FIXED: For me my friend and I were in The Mines of Avarice DLC and this is where it was happening, to fix this all we did was one of us traveled to Sanctuary and then the other joined just fine, then we travled bac kto The Mines of Avarice and it worked fine!

So just travel to sancturary before joining one another, then travel back to where ever.

But what happens if two players want to start a new game from scratch?
You haven't got a Sanctury waypoint.

1) I'm not sure if Sanctuary is the only place you can travel back to and have this fix the problem, i'm sure you just need to leave the area that is causing the crash.

2) I've only had this happen to me in one particular area, the DLC mentioned above, and that was only one waypoint of the DLC. Never had this problem in the normal game/story

Same thing happened to me. I deleted all local files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, both didn't work. All we had to do was travel to Sanctuary and then the other joined just fine, then we traveled back to The Mines of Avarice and it worked fine!
