My game crashes every time i try to add a player for split screen play. When the 2nd player is added the split screen flashes black for a second and then closes and the game returns to being single player mode.
(I have tried both split screen orientations, I tried to create a new world and i have restarted the game multiple times without success)

I found that if you turn the online multiplayer option on in the world settings you can add players locally. This workaround at least lets multiple people play on the same console but is weird as the setting is not for offline play but effects it even if you are not online.
I too have this issue. I have the single online membership for Nintendo switch. Using a guest account to try to get a friend to play in both online and offline modes. The screen will flicker and split like it is connecting, even showing a complete player one screen on the upper split screen section. The second player's screen is blacked out and it shortly reverts back to single player mode.
I've noticed this happens on both 1.13 and 1.14 on the switch.
Thank you for your report!
