As soon as i activate Caves on a Server i am unable to launch or create a server if its new

Older servers are unable to start.

I have tried disabling all mods and launching

check the cave file to check that "Is Master = false" was indeed the case

i deinstalled and reinstalled the game

deleted several servers...

 

I am running out of Ideas, any way to fix this or is my game now permanently effed?

Steps to Reproduce

- I have attempted to change a previous server mode from survival to endless by editing the Shardindex 

- after that i was unable to launch any other server regardless of clusters as soon as i activated the caves

Thank you for the logs.
Could you try to load the world again and then attach your \Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\client_log.txt ?

Can you launch the game (the main menu is fine) and press Backspace and tell me the version number (Rev. #####) in the bottom right left corner?

After you get the rev number, could you:
- close DST
- delete your client_log.txt file
- try to launch a caves-enabled server 
- post the new client_log.txt file

Could you please check if any anti-virus software is not block DST from writing files?

 I tried messing with it previously to see if somehow avast was blocking it from creating files but it says that creating files is enabled. 

I tried setting the program back but that also did nothing. i checked my systems and all things work as they should.

Could you try follow the steps listed here and let me know if one of them resolves the issue?

https://support.klei.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029882171-Getting-a-Unable-to-write-to-config-directory-Error-Message

If none of those work, DST closed, could you please:
- backup your entire Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether folder (copy paste it somewhere else or zip it up, just in case...)
- rename the current Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether folder to Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether_old
- launch DST
- try to create a new cave's enabled world

If that works, then go into DoNotStarveTogether_old and crab one of your cluster files a copy/paste it into the new folder and try running it.

I am still getting the same error

If i try creating a world without a cave however it does create it no problem , however every time i enable caves i get 

"Unable to launch dedicated server"

Also the game is still not creating another client_log.txt should i be concerned about that?

I am running both steam and DST on Admin and tried to reinstall it as well with the same result

Update: as a last ditch efford i tried the save directory 

It worked!

Thanks a ton!!

I'm glad to hear it is working again, unfortunately the problem was not really resolved, just pushed off to another day.

You should be able to copy/paste your client_save folder from DoNotStarveTogether_old into the new folder and get all your settings, presets, skin layouts, etc, restored.

If you could try copy/pasting one of your caves-enabled Cluster folders from DoNotStarveTogether_old into the new folder and then try running that, I'd like to know if it will load the world or not.

I imported cluster_7 from my old save files which has caves enabled and indeed it loaded!

The game did quit on me due to outdated mods 

BUT Client_log made a reappearance.
