The day I bought the game, it was working fine.

Next day, I try opening the game and I find this message

Try "verify integrity of game file" maybe ?

I've tried that. I'll try it again.

The "missing file privileges" error message is happening because your Windows User Account has not given your Steam client the proper administrative permissions it needs to read/write to your hard drive. 

Please follow these steps to see if these help resolve the issue for you:

1) Run the Game as an Administrator 
- Run Don't Starve Together dontstarve_steam.exe as an administrator in your game folders (Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin\dontstarve_steam.exe)
- Right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator"
- If that does not work, go to step #2.

2) Run Steam as an Administrator
- Fully close out of Steam and restart your computer.
- After restarting your computer, right-click on the Steam icon > select "Run as Administrator"
- Try launching the game after you have administrator access.

Should the issue persist, your next, best step is to contact Windows Support for technical support regarding Windows User Accounts missing file or administrative privileges. Microsoft Support: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/
