Issue Title: Don't Starve Together update gone wrong?

Issue Description: Me and my friends started playing DST for the time yesterday. The experience was really good. No bugs so far.

However, when we go back today, we are unable to connect to each others servers due to our update versions being different.

I am on a mac and my friend is on a Windows computer. We both check to see if our games are updated properly and it says they were.

What is going on?

Steps to Reproduce: we logged onto our games respectively on Steam, my friend created a server and I tried search for the server, it wasn't appearing in the server list.

Then we tried relaunching the game, tried joining through other means such as clicking the arrow on my friend's name and clicking "join game"

It was then it said my friend had a newer update version to me, I check my updates, but it had been completely updated.

If its the same problem i had, this is what i found.

The solution is a bit tricky for those who played before the "official support for OSX and Linux".
Last week, when i download the game i was unable to play because DST wasnt supported without going in the properties of the game in steam and go in "Beta" and select "osxlinuxbeta".

This is the core of the problem. Steam kept this parameter saved, then even after the patch (patch which allowed a true official supported game) i was always on the "osxlinuxbeta" version.

=> If you have the same problem than me, go on the steam properties of your game (right click on DST then properties), then in Beta tab unselect osxlinuxbeta.

Tadaaaaa. Now you download the true version and you'll be able to play with windows servers. ^^

Hey folks, yup it's pretty much the steps that Sansoryu provided. By unselecting "osxlinuxbeta" in your betas tab in properties, you should be able to launch DST on Mac and Linux. 

• Right-Click on Don't Starve Together Beta in your game library;
• Choose "Properties" and in the Properties window, go into the BETAS tab;
• When in Betas tab, unselect the "osxlinuxbeta";
• re-update the game on Mac and Linux (you can also force update by verifying your game cache)

Recently I purchased Don't Starve Together and am not able to log into any servers. I believe this a steam related issue because my recent news will not update to the same as others. I only have information regarding tuesdays update of the game when there have been two since. I am unable to play in any public servers. please tell me what I can do to have the game update to its most current vers
 

Sorry for posting this here, but I can't make a topic and at a loss for solutions.
