[Client Crash] - Can't host or join DST games

@Beatlz, Do you have folders/files inside of the Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/save folder? There should be client, server, and session in there, each with folders that look like "0123BE50F187FC".

 

The crash is saying that it couldn't load the save file from there. That could be because it wasn't able to save it there, or because it's there and it's corrupted or something. Making DST run as administrator might give it the permissions boost it needs to save there if that's the problem.

Hey @Beatlz

 

Yes, this seems to happen under certain circumstances that I still haven't been able to pinpoint where the game is unable to find your documents directory under certain circumstances. Are you by any chance on Chinese version of Windows? 

 

There may be a workaround which you could try though - you can launch the game with an alternative location for your save files.

 

If you right-click the game in steam, select 'properties'.

Then click 'Set Launch Options'.

Enter '-persistent_storage_root c:/donotstarvetogether' and click 'Ok'

Click 'Close'

 

Launch the game and try to join a server.

 

Let me know if that works?

 

(Edited, instructions were wrong, should be fixed now)
