Every time I try to create a new world, it will load for about 15 seconds and then give the error message 'Dedicated Server Failed to Start'. I have never once tried to make a dedicated server and do not have the dedicated server tools installed. I have read previous posts on this issue and did not find a fix, though apparently it only occurs in worlds with caves. However, my worlds do have caves and I will not start a new world without caves.
This could be related to a login issue when I first tried to load up the game after the update. I got an error message (don't remember what is said) and my antivirus went off about quarantining a threat. The game would not go to the main menu screen until I gave an exception on the antivirus.
Edit: Shortly after posting this I realized someone had posted the same issue worded a bit differently. Someone linked this support post which fixed the problem: https://support.klei.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407489414548-Getting-a-Dedicated-Server-Failed-To-Start-Error-Message
- Load the game
- Select 'Host Game'
- Attempt to create a new world with caves enabled
- Get the error message 'Dedicated Server Failed to Start'
