VexPlaysGames Posted August 30, 2025 Share Posted August 30, 2025 Hello guys, now this is not the problem where my anti-virus is blocking dst. I have disabled my anti-virus, added this game on every single allowable area in the anti-virus, I have allowed it from the window's firewall and everything, still I can't turn the server on. I have tried opening with "run as admin". I also ran the dedicated server app and it said "Your server will not start". I checked the clients_log.txt and found this: [00:00:21]: OnLoadPermissionList: APP:Klei//DoNotStarveTogether/client_save/adminlist.txt (Failure) [00:00:21]: OnLoadUserIdList: APP:Klei//DoNotStarveTogether/client_save/whitelist.txt (Failure) Klei said this is because of my avast anti-virus or window anti-virus but my world is 90 days old and it was literally working, I took 2 days break and it's now broken. I don't know what has happened. Can anyone please help me and I also don't know if this is the right place to put this post?

Daniel86268 Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 Can you redownload and replace your token file? My wild guess would be that it got currupted or deleted for whatever reason. (Maybe the Antivirus decided that the code inside looks like a virus?)

VexPlaysGames Posted September 1, 2025 Author Share Posted September 1, 2025 (edited) Can you guide me on that? Are you suggesting that I reinstall my game? Also it's not the corrupt world, I can't launch any server at all.

VexPlaysGames Posted September 2, 2025 Author Share Posted September 2, 2025 (edited) I copied the .rar world's cluster_token.txt file inside my world's cluster (there was none before in my world cluster). It looks like this as my world is in cloud save and when I loaded the world, it did take longer but still didn't work. Gave me the same error message "Dedicated Server Failed to Start". Also I think it's not the world's problem as I can't start any server.

GuoZ. Posted September 26, 2025 Share Posted September 26, 2025 First, I'd like to ask whether your dedicated server is running on `Windows` or `Linux`. Additionally, I think there might be an issue with your configuration. Could you attach your startup script? I can help you troubleshoot the problem.

VexPlaysGames Posted September 26, 2025 Author Share Posted September 26, 2025 It's not even related to dedicated sever, when I start a local server ingame. It gives me the error above.

GuoZ. Posted September 27, 2025 Share Posted September 27, 2025 Click this icon, and click "Convert To Local Save",and Back, and try to Resume World again. If still doesn't work, please click the icon on picture again, and click "Open World Folder",and zip the whole folder, and attach here. I'llĀ help you to check your configurations. Ā (I'm Chinese, not good at English) If the folder is too large to upload, please just attach these specific files.
