Sneaky updates


Recommended Posts

Hi,

what's up with the sneaky updates? Yesterday got like 2 or 3 and today so far got 1 and none shows up in the Game Updates section. In the morning I checked and dedicated server was up and running then a few hours later a friend asked me about it why isn't on and reason was there was this sneaky update..

According to Don't Starve Servers List in the morning it was v196240 (Beta) and now after update is v196331 (Beta, Steam). So, what's up?

There were glitches that were causing issues to some servers. Klei release hot fix to patch these glitches. May be they were too busy and haven't got the time to release change logs.

It is funny thou. 

DS, a single player game. Game gets auto updated with patches that break things. You cannot switch off the auto-update so there is no choice.

DST, a multiplayer game. Server don't get auto updates and everyone has to wait for the host to update and restart the server:C

Feel so wrong man.

According to SteamDB the game saw some updates 13 hours, 12 hours, 4 hours and 3 hours ago. I noticed the 13 hours and 12 hours ago yesterday (my time), when server was up and then it wasn't any more. I updated the server for the 4 hours ago one and was fine as played a bit and then the 3 hours one hit and *poof* server vanished again

Version 196240 is from 4 hours ago and 196331 is from 3 hours ago.

I wish Klei make a simple page with a reply in JSON format or something with the latest version of the game so we can use automated scripts that would run every hour or so to auto-update the servers. Right now I got a manual one for checking the Game Updates section but looks like it's useless since the information isn't up-to-date.

@V2C @nome Alright, this is beyond frustrating.. What the hell is going on? I'm looking at the SteamDB site and the game saw yet another 2-3 updates... Again server was fine and over the sudden *poof*

Went to bathroom and when return server is nowhere to be found.. just got another update. :shock:

Game version bumped from 196331 up to 196341. :confused:

There's this.

Oh sweet! You own that or how do you know about it?

Edit: By any chance you know how I can interrogate my own server to see what version it has in order to compare it with what i see from builds?

Queen bee has new music and leaves honey puddles that slow players down now.
I tested her yesterday and neither the music nor the honey puddles were in then and I didn't see any update thread since then.

Oh wow, nice. I haven't played yet and looking forward to see the changes. You noticed anything else?

Not mine, I found out about it here on the forums. I assume it's official since it includes the dev branch.

Fences and relics can no longer be healed. Critter animations added. SFX for critters and Bee Queen added. Music tweaked for boss fights. Toadstool tweaked, Bee Queen tweaked (has now 22500 hp, spawns 4 or 5 guardians at a time and has up to 8 guardians).

Oh wow. Thanks. :D

By any chance you know how I can interrogate my own server to see what version it has in order to compare it with what i see from builds? I can always rely on saving the current build on my own in a file and then update it if the version I get from the url is bigger than what i got in the text file, but would be nicer if there's a way to do this without just in case something goes wrong with the file.

OMG GUYS I FOUND OUT WHAT THEY ADDED!!
