Don't Starve Together Refusing To Close


Recommended Posts

I tried to generate a world so I could see the new item pickup noises, but it was just stuck on "Generating World". After about 5 minutes I decided that it wasn't going to work, so I tried to cancel it, which caused the game to freeze and hang. Windows wanted to close it, so I did, but it didn't actually close and remained in Task Manager.

None of the three Don't Starve processes could be ended, just doing nothing. Switching views to details and trying to close them still didn't work, claiming that they need administrative permission. I gave Task Manager administrative permission, which changed the reason why it wouldn't close them to "Access is denied". I tried using taskkill/im dontstarve_steam_x64.exe (and the other two processes), to which it asked me to use /f to force it, but using /f to force it then claims that the program doesn't exist, even though they were clearly visible in Task Manager, in Command Prompt's tasklist, and in Steam which was refusing to close because it knew I had Don't Starve Together open (and Steam's force stop also was unable to stop Don't Starve Together). I tried restarting my computer, but it just hung at the "Restarting" screen, so after 5 minutes I held the power button and upon turning the computer back on was greeted to a blank default Windows desktop telling me "We can't sign in to your account", which was thankfully fixed after another shutdown (which took awhile but happened without needing to hold the power button).

Not really inclined to open the game again unless somebody can tell me what's up with this.

I don't think Chinese fearmongering is necessary to complain about an issue and I'm not sure why you felt the need to do it.

It was completely necessary. I went from 1 comment in a day to 7 in under an hour.
