game client crashes when joining my dedicated server

So I got my server up and running, but whenever I attempt to join the server I get the followinging stacktrace:

It sounds like the map on the server is somehow corrupt.

 

I would suspect one of the mods you have enabled is causing your grief.

 

You can try disabling mods / resetting the world and then see if you can connect.  This would rule out the game / hardware causing the issue.

 

[kallisti]

Removed the mod directories, commented out the mod download calls, and removed the old save to generate  a new world, but I get the same problem.

[Winsyrstrife]

I can try joining your server, if you like, to get a second opinion.

[kallisti]

I can try joining your server, if you like, to get a second opinion.

 

I've already gotten a friend to try, to confirm that it wasn't something happening client-side, and he got the exact same error.

[bizziboi]

@kallisti,

 

 Could you try this?

 

http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/46439-general-crash-load-failed-for-file-clientserver-save/?p=614524

[kallisti]

I tried this fix client-side, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I don't appear to be having the same issue as people in that thread, though I'm getting a very similar stacktrace. For one, I can connect to any other server (including other dedicated servers) without issue. Secondly, everything appears to be saving/loading from My Documents as expected. I also added a "-persistent_storage_root ~/.klei" option to my server launch script to see if this did anything, but it also has no effect. Both changes were done in separate tests.

 

I might look through the lua scripts later today and add some trace statements for additional debug info. Anything in particular I should be looking to print out from the lua files?

 

Additionally, I'm running my server on a dreamhost VPS running Ubuntu 12.04. it's very possible that the way the VPS is sandboxed is interfering with DST normal operation. For instance, I know that raw access to network interfaces (eth0, etc) is not allowed on my VPS. I doubt DST interacts directly with the network interfaces in this way, but there could be some other system resource that is denying permission or configured unexpectedly that might cause server-side save state to be corrupted. Is there anything I should check on the server that might indicate this is the case?

 

[kallisti]

whoops, not sure how my post got repeated there.

[bizziboi]

@kallisti,

 

Ah, you're correct, if you can join other servers it's not a client side issue but a server side issue. It happening on Linux surprises me.

 

When you get this error on the client, does the directory exist, and does the file exist server_save exist inside that directory on the server? (in the ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/server/save directory)

 

 

[bizziboi]

@kallisti,

 

*UPDATE*

 

Could you try replacing the '~' with the actual path to your root directory (The HOME env variable). The game doesn't do this (this will probably be fixed) and the ~ is a shell concept.  

[kallisti]

Ah, my apologies, that's not the actual path I pass to the option.  Here's my shell script for reference.

 

#!/bin/shcd /home/steam/steamapps/DST/binscreen -S dst ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -conf_dir survival -persistent_storage_root /home/steam/.klei

So everything is already in canonical path form. Also, shell automatically expands tildes, for example:

 

$ echo ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -conf_dir survival -persistent_storage_root ~/.klei./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -conf_dir survival -persistent_storage_root /home/steam/.klei

This behavior is standard shell language behavior (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_01) , so any "sh" based languages (i.e. bash) should work this way.

 

That being said, if you surround the tilde in double quotes, it won't expand, so it might be a good idea to implement the tilde expansion yourself anyway, because people might write something like:

 

$ echo ./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -conf_dir survival -persistent_storage_root "~/.klei"./dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer -conf_dir survival -persistent_storage_root ~/.klei

and might be confused because they didn't realize the tilde doesn't expand in double quotes.

 

Anyway, going back to the problem at hand: The directory in the error message (C:\Users\adam\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\save\client\00000000036BAAEE) exists and is empty. Here is the structure of my save directory while the server is running in the background:

EDIT: changed some formatting around with the code blocks

 

EDIT: added more information about the client-side save directory

[kallisti]

I'm going to migrate to a new server and see if the problem persists. I have a pretty strong suspicion this is a problem with my hosting service, since no one else has reported this problem on linux systems.

[ajm]

I'm having the exact same issue, Dreamhost and all. @kallisti, were you able to get up and running on a different host?

For what it's worth, this has been working for me as a workaround:
1. Start the server.
2. Start the client.
3. Attempt to join the client to the server. Receive the "load failed for file [client/<save ID>/server_save]" message and close the client.
4. On the server, locate the ~/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/save/server/<save ID> directory (or wherever your server's saves are stored).
5. Copy the server_save file from the server to the corresponding <save ID> directory on the client, e.g. C:\Users\Username\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\save\client\<save ID>.
6. Start the client again and join the server. The client should connect normally now.

Obviously, this is a little clumsy, especially for people who don't have shell/FTP access to the server. You'll need to make the server_save file available to other players in some other way.

--

The client seems to be connecting to the server normally. At least I can see the "New incoming connection" messages in the server logs. And some of the initialization process seems to be happening on the client, since the <save ID> directories are getting created. Does anyone know what would prevent the server_save file from getting transferred from the server to the client? I'm guessing it's a configuration issue I'm not seeing on the server, but I'm not sure where to start looking. If anyone can give me some background on how the client gets that file, or tell me where I could start looking in the code, I can try to track down where/why it's failing. Thanks for the help!
