Bug Report:

When you leave a dedicated lan server and someone leaves after you, the first person to leave cannot rejoin until the second person rejoins due to the server refusing to accept new connections.

I don't seem to see that many servers active whilst the preview is enabled
that is probably because you have the same version filter on.

ome reason some of my friends can't enable the preview themselves.
That, though, I have no idea.

What is that supposed to mean? And how do I deal with this?
I don't know where it is in the new UI, but in the old one there was a filter in the filter list(I'm not sure if the name was "Same version", though. It was something along those lines) that was on by default and hid all the servers not in the same version as you(so it would hide the non-preview servers).

If it is still there in the new UI, then all you need to do is find it in the filter list and disable it. I'm not sure if you'll be able to connect to "outdated" servers, though.

I don't know what the heck a "filter" is and where exactly to find it.

Filter is like how you can modify searches for servers or items, etc.

The "Look for Full/Empty: Any/None"  Those things are the filters.

 

Now I'm not sure where you would be finding the file for this but as a check to this theory, my version is 143673

If it's different then it might just be a version thing. If not, then I'm not entirely sure.

 

Good luck!

game mode mods no longer work now. When you enable a game mode mod it will not allow you to select it as a game mode.

 

I've deprecated the use of the AddGameMode mod api, and instead the game mode information should be specified in your modinfo file, like so... 

game_modes ={	{		name = "glutton",		label = "Glutton",		settings =		{			ghost_sanity_drain = true,			portal_rez = true		}	}}

@PeterA, game modes are still missing the ability to add a description for the ? button from a mod. It looks like it should be "description" however, based on the code that is never used and it will always be blank for modded game modes.

@SethR, I believe this is what most of us feel...

 

 

(I actually tear up whenever I watch this @__@)

Goodbye, and thank you :')

Yes, that is the version that I have and all of the filters were set to Any or Yes. Either it's a bug or there aren't that many people who have the new UI and are playing on servers, as when I disable the preview a ton of servers in the list are visible for me and possible for me to enter.

I was thinking, may be the new UI shows up for the people who previously searched for the DST RoG beta and had it activated and that for people to find the new UI who hadn't participated in DST RoG beta, they need to type in the pass "rogdstbeta" first in order to get the preview available or something? If that is not it, then idk what is.

@XirmiX,I just checked and, from what I can see, the "Same version" filter was removed. I'm not sure if this is an oversight or intended, as you still couldn't connect to servers of different versions before, just see them.

Hey guys, the UI preview is on a different version, so you will not see servers listed from the live version.

If you and your friends would like to play on the preview version, then all of you need to switch to the beta preview on Steam before you launch the game.

  1. Close DST
  2. Right-click Don't Starve Together Beta in your Library
  3. Choose [Properties]
  4. Select the [bETAS] tab
  5. Select "preview - Public preview branch" from the drop down list
  6. If the selection does not appear, you may need to re-login to Steam
  7. [CLOSE] the Properties window and relaunch the game after it updates

To switch back to the live version, follow the same steps, but select "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs"

 

Thanks to all those people who have been helping us test the preview version!

@Dipps, thanks for your feedback!

 

The recommended way to add more text to the configuration options is to add hover variables to either the option, or the individual choices, like so

{	name = "CONFIGNAME",	label = "My special config",	hover = "This is the hover text that will give more details on this config option.",	options = {		{description = "A", data = 1, hover = "Describes with hover text what option A does."},		{description = "B", data = 2, hover = "Describes with hover text what option B does."},	},	default = 1,},

Regarding the re-logging issue. It's something we're aware of and investigating a change for that. For mod developers, I'd suggest using ForceEnableMod in modsettings.lua to keep your mod enabled while testing.

how are mods suppose to add additional customization to world edit menu with the new UI or is it impossible now? 

 

You're correct, that is impossible at the moment (beyond some dual mod, client+server mod setup) since server mods are not loaded during the FE anymore. If this is something that lots of mods would like to do, then we can look at adding the option data to modinfo, similar to how game modes and configuration options are specified.

 

In the mean time if you want to have different values for your custom world settings, I suggest putting those configurations in your mod config options and allowing the values to be tuned there.

This update is still causing Macs to crash, or at least my sister's Mac to crash, which is irritating, and I'd REALLY love an answer. We tried cleaning the mod list, we tried disabling mods, but she can't get very far past the title screen because it crashes. I don't mean to sound demanding, but these errors are just not allowing my sister to play the game.

 

EDIT: I want to add my mods are not downloading from the Steam Workshop, either. This update just about broke everything and I'm seriously irritated right now. It shouldn't be such a nightmare just to pick up and play DST again!
