j0e376 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Bug Submission: Category: General Issue Title: Forced to Recreate Account Issue Description: I have been playing DST for over a week now, but when my game got the latest update it wanted me to Re-Create my account and Re-Enter my email. However, it states my email is already in use and I am unable to create a new account. I realize that there has been a problem like this before and that it was temporarily resolved by a hotfix. But the problem now occurs with me and I am unable to resolve it. I have tried waiting for the steam overlay to pop up but that still does not resolve the issue. Steps to Reproduce: Launch Don't Stare Click "Play Online" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer MarkL Posted October 17, 2014 Developer Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello, Could you please try again now and let us know if this problem is persisting? We found that we are showing that 'create account' screen incorrectly when steam is down/ Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0e376 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yes the error still persists. I've tried restarting steam and my computer. The problem is the game doesn't seem to recognize that it has already been linked to my email and steam account. Is there someway I can edit the lua files or is this not an error i can fix on my end?

j0e376 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 [Resolved]I restarted my computer and noticed that my antivirus was blocking my chrome browser. I refreshed my antivirus permissions for Chrome and Don't Starve and it seems to be working now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critiqued Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 [Resolved]I restarted my computer and noticed that my antivirus was blocking my chrome browser. I refreshed my antivirus permissions for Chrome and Don't Starve and it seems to be working now! I also noticed that this happens (sometimes) when DST updates and you go to browse the server lists. If you click cancel and retry browsing it it authenticates you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smillasmiley Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello! I too have this problem but have gotten a step further... If I shut down steam it gives me the error: ErrorThere was an error obtaining the response from the log-in server. I have tried switching emails to validate it but I have not gotten a single email to verify my account.I waited to today and try and see again but same problem.When I press play in the game is says my email is not validated although I have validated each of the emails I tried...I will note that I have had to have the email sent TWICE before I got it...

SlantedRhetoric Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Same problem here, and I've had the closed version of the beta for about 3-4 days. Will my account still be able to use DST or am I just S.O.L.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitty Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 A few people noted that re-installing allowed them to play, instead of get the "create account" menu when they already had an account. That might also help. Will my account still be able to use DST or am I just S.O.L.? 100% sure it's just an error. You own DST and should be able to use DST. Don't worry They'll get it fixed one way or another for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
