After update, if I play split screen with my buddy (offline mode) the second character got lost after reloading the game.

@Likhamik I had the same issue. I have save with my wife that we had played for weeks. We're on day 150+ and she just lost her character.

 

A very sad update for us..

You can resort to uploading the Dont Starve Together save file via 

Ps button, settings, application save data management .   Helps to avoid this.  We save every 10- 20days.

Hi guys, I'm really sorry that happened to you. It was an accidental side effect of adding the savedata backup, which was supposed to help keep you from losing your saved data. The irony isn't lost on me

All should be working properly now but unfortunately there isn't any way to get those characters back.

@conanhjj tried rolling back the day?

[conanhjj]

@Animaker I tried it and it didn't work.

@Rocket18 Thanks for the suggestion. I guess we will start doing this every time after we finish the game.

@CharlesB Thanks for the quick patch. We will try again late tonight.

Even after recreating it and playing for couple of game days it was lost after using rollback feature just for one game day. Should we just try on new word?

@Likhamik @conanhjj

Rollback won't help with this problem. 

I also misspoke when I said "all should be working properly now"; I meant after the next patch (1.12) coming by the end of the week  - hopefully.

In the meantime I think you can avoid the issue by taking it slow when signing in your players when the game starts. Don't be in a hurry to button through as quickly as possible (mash "Play offline"), and instead wait a few seconds (say 15 or so) before signing in the second player.
