rezecib Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 @Xackattack, See this post for how you can help provide more information:Hey @Libertas, Okay, this issue seems to have a couple of reasons it can happen. So far I fixed two instances where it can happen (a unicode username, as well as the user's document directory being on a network drive), but there's possibly a third way this happens, and I really hope to pin it down and get it fixed, so I have a few questions for you 1) Does this always happen for you if you repeat the above steps - ie, every user that joins you loses their progress every time they rejoin?2) You say you don't lose your progress when you quit and reload the world? (I had expected you would too, so that's different)3) As @rezecib said - Can you check if there's a Klei/DoNotStarveTogether directory with a log.txt file in your documents directory?4) If possible, same for your friends indeed, do they perhaps have something odd with that directory? Does it exist? Is there a log.txt? I know, it's a lot of questions, but this bug has proven fairly elusive.

adelina1985a Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I get it too sometimes but not sure if every time, and it definitely doesn't happen to the host. It's discouraging for new players. I will check my directory for logs, thanks.

Developer bizziboi Posted January 8, 2015 Developer Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi @adelina1985a, Would it be possible for you to join a dedicated server, wander around for a bit, quit, restart, join the same server and see if your progress was lost? It may help me analyze the problem. Thanks!

BiggSauliz Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Got same problem and found temporary solution. So I got same problem with map disappearing and found that, if the server host send you map file (in my case "KU_aKd006fA_minimap") and you put it in server folder (in my case ...session\04100002EEBAF428) you got map what is explored by host. If you are playing with friend who hosts server than you just explore map together and if your map disappears in next time you play on his server, just ask him/her to send map file.Hope this helps.

Developer MarkL Posted January 8, 2015 Developer Share Posted January 8, 2015 That should totally not work! You are ether viewing your old map that didn't load correctly last time, or it may be a clue to the cause of the bug I'll look into this.

adelina1985a Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 OK I tested on a random non dedicated and on a dedicated as well and I couldn't reproduce.The one I was having issues is non dedicated, modded (Mitsuru [DST]), passworded, friend hosted, and friend was in it, and upon disconnecting apparently the map stayed the same. Upon the host disconnecting and me being automatically disconnected, map was still saved.But so far we would play once a day so maybe there's something that gets cleaned up daily, and this means I will just try again tomorrow night.

Libertas Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 @MarkL, I've written 'bout the bug already http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/48261-gameplay-map-resets-after-rejoining/ Also, I've came to same conclusion as BiggSauliz, that fix works. What I think is causing the bug to happen is the fact that the client doesn't download the map from the host or doesn't save to the session/server_number ( I don't know if the map is local or has to be downloaded from host to client), I just sent and renamed the xyz_minimap file and other "xyz" file without _minimap extension since it seems that client has the folder empty, hence he can't load any minimap since there isn't one.

rezecib Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I don't know if the map is local or has to be downloaded from host to client The map is stored locally at the moment, but it looks from some comments in the files like they were planning on changing that at some point.

Libertas Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 @rezecib, then there must be a problem in saving the file correctly on a client side, it seems that game sometimes knows it has to save it, and in other cases it doesn't. Hopefully the solution will be 'that easy' haha Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48319-gameplay-map-disappears/#findComment-599034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 @Libertas, Well, in one of the log files I looked at it had a message something along the lines of "failed to serialize map data to 290AE29/blahblah, player already removed". So I don't think that it's ever really not knowing that it needs to save it, but there's probably a bug somewhere that might mess up the saving process.

adelina1985a Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sorry but I couldn't reproduce the bug, let's hope I just don't get it anymore, or maybe an update fixed it.
