Dedicated Server can only host beta worlds

[AmigoInsonia]

When I try to host a server, it's reading from the beta folder instead of the normal folder again(it happened before in another beta), even when I'm not using the returnofthembeta parameter on the bat file.

 

The .bat:

Quote

c:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 343050 +quit
cd /D "c:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server\bin"
start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster WurtPerfectWorld -shard Master
start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster WurtPerfectWorld -shard Caves

Already tried putting the validate parameter there, but it's still trying to only host a beta world. So I guess the dedicated server files weren't updated yet, unless I'm missing something.

After being on the beta branch you have to delete your server files, cause the beta branch ones have higher version numbers than the normal ones, and therefore not getting overwritten with the non-beta branch ones.

I tried that, deleted the entire folder on C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server and re-downloaded it all, but it still didn't work.

Edit: This has happened in another beta before(and I even created back then another topic like this), and back then the problem was that they forgot to update the server files. I'm wondering if that happened again, but since I'm the only one who posted about it the problem could just be in my end...

Hello, could you copy the Dedicated Server files into a new folder in "C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Test", rename the copied cluster folder to TestCluster and try to run this modified command?
It uses a different install directory and has the validate parameter.

c:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "c:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Test" +login anonymous +app_update 343050 validate +quit
cd  /D "c:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Test\bin"
start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster TestCluster -shard Master
start dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -console -cluster TestCluster -shard Caves 

If it's still a Beta only world, I'd assume there'd be something weird with steamcmd, maybe it's reading old files.

Thank you very much dude, that solved it! I wonder why the heck even after deleting the folder steamcmd would just download the wrong files again, but using your bat that makes it download in another folder solves it. Weird, but as long as it works I'm happy. Thanks a bunch!

This happened to me on Linux as well this morning. After trying and for some reason failing to make it work on the stable branch the solution that worked was to delete the entire folder where the game files are (not the files with configuration and stuff) and then tell steamcmd to download them again.

@Daniel86268 It doesn't matter if the beta had higher version than the stable branch since the beta has been disabled and the only files you would get are from the stable branch anyway.

I'm wondering, does your steamcmd command have the "validate" option in it?

No, i don't use the "validate" option. Was a good idea but sorted it out by removing and re-installing the files.
