ucw Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well, downloaded Hamlet. Seems to have wiped all of my previous saved games and progress -- the only character I can play is Wilson, whether in RoG, SW, or Hamlet. Games in progress gone. Is there any hope, or do I have to repeat all my progress to get characters back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 No -- I can choose from 3 on one screen. If I delete Hamlet, would that help or just make things worse...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosePapp Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If you remove hamlet it should be back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stuff should be fine in the normal game. Use commands or work normally if you want the characters back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can access it again by opting out of the hamlet beta from the BETAS tab and unchecking the "Hamlet" DLC box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping you guys are right and it is out there somewhere, but so far I have done what people have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select this option after right-clicking Don't Starve in your library and clicking "Properties". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaloFTheSun1 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It wiped my data, I accidentally uninstalled hamlet and my data was still gone. Need to unlock the last two shipreck characters. (Console commands don't work for me, so had to get every one manually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Go back into the Beta screen, and uncheck Hamlet. Restart Steam and you should be fine. It worked for me. 17 minutes ago, HaloFTheSun1 said: It wiped my data, I accidentally uninstalled hamlet and my data was still gone. Need to unlock the last two shipreck characters.

Maxposting Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It is because the game is using different profile ( the thing that stores worlds and characters etc. ) so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
