Same here as to the empty window part. I'm on PC on Game Pass, playing in ultrawide, but the issue occurs even if the game is in a 16:9 window, so I doubt it's the resolution.

Same problem with the screen freezing when entering a crafting station. Almost pulled all my hair out because of this, since all my tasks included crafting. I found that the crafting station in WALL·E’s biome worked!!🙏🏼

merry nebula
Switch – Crafting issue
I can’t craft anything. Every time I go to a crafting station, the interface is blank and the game seems to “freeze” — though I can still see my character moving.
This problem started well after I installed the update.
Some players managed to fix it by putting their crafting stations into the furniture inventory, exiting furniture mode, and then placing a new station back into the world — preferably a DDLC crafting station. Unfortunately, this workaround doesn’t work for me.
Screenshot: Same as the one already posted.

This makes me sad 😭

we have the same problem this is a game breaking bug as we cant progress in the game

Found a workaround. If you go on multiplayer with somebody whos game is unaffected. They can craft the items you need and drop them. Once you pick them up and leave multiplayer they apply to your quest.
Only works for friendship quests though. Not story quests
crystal musk
PC
All crafting stations freeze game, only animations work. Have to close and reopen the game to move again (going back to the station will freeze it again) Same thing as SenpaiSan, but mine was fine until i tried to make a gold ingot for the Elsa lvl 10 quest (The Ice Cavern Mystery)

I'm having the same issue with the crafting table showing blank and unable to exit the table without hard stopping the game. Disappointing, this is definitely a game breaking issue. I can't do anything in the game without crafting. I'm playing on PC through steam.

Platform: PC/Steam (Windows)
Issue: Okay, I know Eternity Isle was released a while back now AND thus "technically" isn't a bug, this strikes me as a mistake with a quick fix. For starters, all of the "<<Color>> Cactus Pot" recipes require THREE clay pots. That doesn't seem right when you only get ONE potted plant. Next, why does the Pink and White Cactus Grove require a round soil area , when it's clearly rectangular? And on the flip side, why does crafting the Orange Flower Disk use THREE... rectangular... soil areas? And while the Black and White Flower Disk uses the correct soil area... it requires THREE round soil areas? Can we just have someone edit the crafting recipes? I'll accept round where its rectangle, but please stop the 3-for-1 madness. I have been holding off crafting these in hopes this will be fixed and I don't need to waste resources... but it's looking less and less likely as Eternity Isle was released ages ago.

This is NOT fixed. You need to remove it from fixed issues. And actually fix it.

I crafted a Large Yellow Chest and it wasn't in my inventory, so I tried again. Same thing happened 4 or 5 times. The resources are gone and the dreamlight cost, but still no chest. Tried crafting blue, red and white large chests and there was no issue at all. But the yellow one just disappeared.
