BellumOmnes Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi, so previously I've had some performance issues with Don't Starve that I managed to resolve by using the Nvidia Control Panel for Don't Starve's exe and now I want to test a few things with Don't Starve Together, but when I tried to do that I noticed that any changes I make affect the single player version. Both of the exe files are named dontstarve_steam and I think that's the issue, whenever I select the DST's exe it opens the one that's already added to the list and it's the singleplayer version. Any ideas how to manage the 3d settings for DST? I tried adding together to DST's exe but the game wont start after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me affecting the dontstarve_steam.exe for single player will affect the one for multiplayer. I believe this may be true, though not 100% sure, since if you were to uninstall Don't Starve (single-player) and only have Don't Starve Together installed, you will see the DST exe icon when you go to the Nvidia control panel, as shown below. As far as I'm aware, this is an issue on Klei's side since if you change the name of the exe file in steam, it will not launch. Don't know accurate this is, but I think they would have to change the exe file name for DST to something more appropriate, like dontstarvetogether_steam.exe instead of the current exe file name dontstarve_steam.exe. I think that would make both games be detected as separate ones instead of one, which is an issue if you use something like GeForce Experience, which only shows Don't Starve even both are installed, or none at all when only DST is installed only. Though you are still able to use Shadowplay regardless of what's been installed.

BellumOmnes Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yea, that's a problem. Gforce Experience only shows the singleplayer and it's the same thing as shown in your screenshot. I was wondering if there's a way around the name of the exe, but it seems that steam wont verify the new file name. Kinda silly tho, literally a single character more would've solved it. Thanks tho, means a lot that someone replied <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
