DST automatically deletes my character


Recommended Posts

I've been playing Don't Starve Together a lot recently and this has happened twice now. I've made an endless world, and randomly, seemingly when I disconnect from the server too soon after connecting, when I come back it forces me to restart my character. This is really discouraging as I lose all the items I had as well as all the progress I made on my map. Help please :(

 

Ok well I found a rollback option and that seemed to fix it. Still dont know why it deleted my character in the first place

Hello @baconcat10 welcome to the forums. Multiple questions:

  • Are you the host of the server (assuming you are since you mentioned the rollback)? 
  • How soon after the start of the server do you get disconnected?
  • After disconnecting from the server, did you ever force quit the dedicated server from running?

The server_log.txt in the Master folder of your dedicated server should shed some more light on what's happening. Once you randomly get disconnected from the server AND upon reconnecting to the server, if you are forced to select a new character then disconnect from the server again and get the server_log.txt from the Master folder and attach it to your next reply.

Also to answer your questions:

  • I am the host of the server
  • I don't get forcibly disconnected, I've started the game, realized I had to do something and did not want my character to die, so I disconnected from the server usually 30 seconds - 2mins after starting.
  • I don't think I've force quit, the only way I leave the server is by pressing esc, then disconnect. Also I usually play on offline mode.

@baconcat10 ok, you were hosting it from the in-game client? The server_log.txt and client_log.txt may give more info on what happens when you get forced to repick.

The server_log.txt would be located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\Cluster_1 if your server was made in the first slot of the Host Game screen. Cluster_2 for slot 2, Cluster_3 for slot 3, etc. Inside these Cluster folders will have a Master and Caves folder, the server_log.txt would be in the Master folder, while the client_log.txt would be located in  Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether.

With regards to the last screenshot, there already seems to have a hotfix pushed out for that. Verify the integrity of the game cache, hopefully the hotfix fixes that issue for you.
