Console commands not working, neither are chat commands like /dance

I too am having this issue. Prior to today's update, I have been using console commands without issue. After the winter update, they aren't registering at all.

When you type /help, what do you see?

Can you post your client_log.txt file after the remote commands failed to work? You should find it under ~/Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether

I only now realized that isn't the problem. it's the fact that neither the console nor the chats detects or does anything when i press enter. my enter button works, even in game, just not for the chat or console. really weird. tried looking it up and it surely seems I'm the only one experiencing this. anything i can do?

 So, is there a solution to this problem? The game is unplayable for me now  If there is, what can I do?

 

After verifying the integrity of your game files, can you try deleting these files

~/Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/client_save/profile
~/Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/client.ini

Also, make sure that you don't have any client mods enabled.

I'm sure I just deleted the exact files you specified, de-enabled all mods, launched the game, and for some reason it's still not letting me say anything in chat nor is it letting me do any commands with the console.

 

Before, I did that, I even tried reinstalling the game, did not help

 I just realized the problem. It's extremely weird but.. "profile" and "client.ini" are somehow reinstalling(?) themselves each time i launch the game.

So what can I do next?

If you have any controllers plugged in, I'd suggest unplugging them as well.

Very big thanks. My chat and console are now working, but in order for them to work I have to click on the console bar / chat bottom bar, which is kind of annoying but I’m still glad it works. Thanks again.
