Game crashes on character color selection

[Dropkickpikachu]

My problem is as simple as the thread title suggests. Any time I get to the game start menu and click my character to choose his robe color, the game immediately crashes to desktop. I seem to be able to get into the game if I just stay with the default green, but I wanna change my dude's color! I wanna do that!

What's goin' on here, durn it!

this is EXACTLY what mine is doing, the demo worked just fine but when I bought it and click the character "editor" it either stops responding or crashes to desktop.

same here. crash on trying to change my color in a lobby.

windows 7. 64-bit. quad core.
installed xna 3.1 and .net framework 3.5

everything else works fine for me. Even multiplayer works if I join a friend's game via the steam friends list and not the in game menu. (the friend has to be in the game lobby or it doesn't work.)

here is the error report I get from the crash:

A friend had this exact same problem, but we found out it was because of his name [he uses a mix of alt codes and character map scrambles for his name, looks like cthulhu demon speak].

He worked around it by creating a new character instead of editing his default one when he joins the server.
