Using a Mac. To describe the symptoms, it happens when I so much as highlight or click on a button. It's entirely random, but the frequency is so common that it's making the game almost unplayable. The bug already happened months ago, but it was very infrequent, but when I installed a new Java update, it started becoming very common. It happens on clean states of the game and older versions that didn't have this issue. So I suspect it's something to do with the version of Java on Mac. But I don't know how to downgrade to an older version of Java.

The log at the beginning says:

that looks more like it's an issue with java itself than the game. either uninstall and reinstall java, or uninstall and reinstall LT. or both, to be safe.

EDIT: So i looked this up and can't find anything about this error at all, but it has been noted in the past that LT and Mac really dont like each other, so i think uninstalling and reinstalling both java and LT is your best bet for a fix

I did both. But maybe Java didn't uninstall properly.
And yeah, I am aware this is an issue with Java, but I've done nothing to mess with Java, it just seems to be that Java's mac version appears to be incompatible with LT or something.

So you say it's when interacting with buttons? We've had a (much milder) issue before with something in the tooltips breaking when the _2xx Java versions came out on PC. It's a long shot but try turning off "Text Fade-In" in the options. Otherwise try to get help on the discord but I dunno if any of the regulars actually have macs either.

Fade-in is already off actually.
I don't use Discord, but if all else fails I'll make an account and check it out.

Using a Mac.
M1 or Intel?

I can say that using Java 8 works fine on my Intel Mac, though I haven't tested it using that method on my M1 MBP. Given how Java and similar environments work it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of incompatibility with Rosetta.

Intel actually, it's a Mac from 2019. I am gonna uninstall and reinstall Java and see if it fixes the issue.

Update/Edit: It worked holy shit. Can't believe it was that simple. IMO maybe it was an issue with the cache? I uninstalled Java before weeks ago but when it gave me the option to clear the cache, I didn't do it, thinking it would fuck up some shit without realising it. But it ended up working here. Thanks for all the suggestions though. If anyone in the future has an issue with a fatal error in threadstate:4. All it takes is uninstalling and reinstalling Java

EDIT2: Nvm, spoke too soon. It crashed again. Same error upon highlighting a button. On the other hand though, the crashing seems a bit more rare this time and the game lasts longer.

Hello again,
This is just a small update to let you know that so far this week I've managed to make progress on adding the basic content for the remaining shops in Elis's shopping precinct. As part of this I've added two new races, and just need to add the content (which will be limited to basic trading interactions) for the three shops before I can get this preview update released.
I'm aiming for having the preview ready by the start of next week, and I'll make another post on Sunday to let you know how things are going. Thank you all once again for your patience, and I'll see you again soon!
She gave a progress update, just more of the same

How do you add people to your party, I was able to do it on an earlier version but I can't find any option for it now. Is it a bug or are there prerequisites I am missing?

It's now an option in one of the menus. It defaults to off, so you have to enable it before you can add party members.

The companion system was deprecated a good while ago but you can still enable it in the game's options. Just keep in mind that it is no longer supported nor expanded upon so things are liable to break (even more so than usual).

it has been disabled because it is broken. you can force reenable it in the settings but do not complain if it breaks your game

Thank you
As others have said, it does cause issues. I wanted to warn you, when I last actually played through the storyline there was some point in Submission, I think imps at a fort(?) where the game would just fully lock up after winning the story fight and force me to reload. I eventually figured out I had to dismiss my follower first and go back and get them afterwards. I doubt that's fixed and I'm sure there are more issues by now.

Is there a way to make it to where all males are only interested in females? I like having guys in my game cause it makes it more realistic and I like to be bros with them, but I also don't want to get buttblasted if I lose to a guy.

It is not fixed, nor will it be fixed.

Support for the companion mechanic has been discontinued. If you can get it to work in certain situations, good for you. But no fixes will be provided from Inno's end.

Which sucks for some people. What I've suggested in the past is a revamp of the Elemental "companion" to more of a "familiar" character. So, instead of being stuck with a cat made of fire who turns into a cat-morph made of fire (which is what I usually go for), the MC could summon a fully-customisable ally: a spirit who appears as whatever you want.

But that's of course connected to my belief that the "Captain Planet" magic/damage categories are wildly inappropriate for this game in the first place.

You could set the gender preferences to 100% gynophillic, but that would make all the women lesbians as well. Which would be a problem if your MC is male.

You could just ... win?

I mean, when I did a dominant male playthrough, that's what I did. Kind of the whole point.

I put a lot of roleplay rules and shit on my characters to make it harder, so that isn't always possible. I mean the game is piss ez to just win and not lose normally, after 100 characters it starts to get a bit reptitive so challenges help that.
