@JoeW

Thank you! But some options are missing. T.T

By the way, can I use server_save_slot option for 2nd slot in dedicated server?

Or,

Shoud I make DedicatedServer_1, DedicatedServer_2, DedicatedServer_3 as cluster?

update to 166227, there's a bug when starting the server

[Arcita]

Thank you guys for pushing out this multilevel option so quick! I was afraid I'd have to wait until at least Monday. My netbook is very grateful. You guys are the best! The preset bug is fixed too. <3

[WinSpree]

yeah i like that youre testing while its released with quick reactions! ggwp klei!

[_Q_]

So now I will be able to test mods without waiting 10 minutes for game to start.

Cool.

[V2C]

@vosdbk Thanks for reporting this!  Please try redownloading the dedicated server package again to fix it now.

[anselch1011]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server\bin\dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe" -backup_logs -console -conf_dir DedicatedServer -cluster Cluster_1 -shard Master

I use this command line! Is it right?

Klei - DedicatedServer - Cluster_1 - Master !!!

Good that we can create a cave only server again, but shame that you also have to keep switching that option on and off for this.

I didn't know about the disconnection for being idle, thanks for this addition, but do I still have time to pee ?

Hello! I've been having this problem since a few patches ago.

 

Using this command "c_select() c_sel():Remove()" will always crash my game after a couple of minutes. If I use it only once, it will crash after 5 minutes or so. If I use it more than once, for example, to remove different objects in game, it crashes almost instantly, or after 15 seconds.

I have also noticed that in the current beta preview (Trade Inn), I am unable to copy and paste console commands. I have to type them out or they do not work.

Thank you.

[JCDentonsGlasses]

I noticed vote kick is finally in game.   Is there any way to cancel a votekick in progress via console command or otherwise?

Since you mentioned it, you've never been able to copy/paste console commands in the linux build. Pls Klei, have mercy on us lazy linux users. :'/

Umm, something weird happened while I was hosting a multi-level server. I opened up a sinkhole during winter to get some lanterns for my friends and I when I started loading the caves world. Instead of giving me a caves world, I got a portal to an alternate dimension via sinkhole. 

tl:dr, I have two overworlds connected via sinkhole, no caves.

EDIT: I made another world to check if it's the same problem with all worlds I make, but I got caves. It's only that one world.

The console also corrupts itself subtly if you navigate around it with arrow keys.

Hey, so is Hutch (aka caves Chester) in the main build now or only in the beta branch? I haven't really had a chance to go spelunking lately and see for myself.

 

EDIT: Oh and also, has anyone had the "Game has stopped working" box pop up when trying to exit the game? This has been happening to me on Windows 7 every time I try to quit to desktop.

He is in neither. He was the sneakiest of sneak previews. Things yet to come!

So excited for that lil guy

Same here, but with Windows 10.

So I just realized, with this new update, 99% of hosts will never see console text from their client unless they disable multiworlds. It's kind of dumb that it's now default that console text won't be seen from the client. Is it possible to make it so that admins/hosts receive console info?

- tiny little feature could be implemented for those playing PVP - toggle ON/OFF movement prediction in settings? 

- i see that this last update "broke" lot of servers and IDK if those hosting these servers needs to figure out how to "host them better" BUT my ping went up on everywhere after this update (my connection is the same) so now i don't know if those servers are "bad" or that update is "bad"

- i think that overall the game is "eating up more resources" than before this update (im on Mac)

- mining ice glaciers doesn't make any sound now (i read on forums about more stuff without sound)

+1 to Quyzbuk and TemporaryMan ... Windows XP

 

BTW about that cave chester. It will be probably cool tiny little feature but i don't really understand why is this "first" feature that is coming? I feel that this is little bit useless to game right now. We have been testing this version of DST for looooong time (caves are in for how long? half a year?) and we have beefalo riding implemented on 50% (which will be awesome when its on 100%) and now cave chester? This feels little weird that cave chester has priority in front of i guess anything else?

I was expecting that you put all your firepower to fixing these server problems and "finish" this version of DST so we can move on to TTA and features that matters for better gameplay/replayability. I don't see how cave chester matters right now when we have tons of bugs in here and right now problem with those servers.

Well i will be testing your game and posting bugs forever if needed but i feel like it has been really long time and we arrived to cave chester :D. Also you said that this is the sneakiest of previews so i guess there is tons of coding to be done and work to finish his looks (i hope that this is not his final form) for cave chester. Seems to me like lot of time to be put into feature that we should get at the end of TTA as bonus and not before. Well at least this is my opinion .)

@t0panka

If you check last week stream you'll notice that the cave Chester is being worked on by a completely different guy who has nothing to do with the features you speak of, so it doesn't really slow down the development of those features and having it come out first only means that it was easier/faster to complete.
