[crash] Entering cave for the first time

[Forgetful]

I'm playing Don't Starve: 115739 WIN32_STEAM without any mods and with RoG deactivated. The Steam Cloud is disabled.

 

In my current save in slot 1, the game crashes when I enter any cave (no caves have been entered so far). Judging from the error message below, the problem seems to be that the game somehow assumes that a cave has been entered already. Consequently, the game crashes on trying to access the non-existent file cave_1_1_1.

 

I did some testing and it seems that there is another location (apart from saveindex) where the game stores which save slots have entered a cave. Here is what I tried. I first suspected a corrupted saveindex but deleting the whole save folder, generating a new saveindex and using it to load the problematic save did not solve the issue. However, renaming the save and loading it in slot 3 did - at first. The cave was generated, no crash. When trying to repeat that, i.e. delete the cave file, generate a new saveindex, and again load the save in slot 3, the game crashed when entering a cave because it couldn't find cave_1_1_3. Weird stuff.

 

As a workaround I renamed one of the caves that generated during testing to cave_1_1_1 and this seems to work for now. I would prefer a true bugfix though.

 

And BTW, thanks for an outstanding game

I'll pass the info along to the team. It does indeed look like you got a corrupted save file somehow which is causing the problem.
