Dedicated server failed to start

Hello! I need help trying to boot one of my worlds.

While playing earlier today, I left the server briefly to rollback and re-attempt a fight. This is something I have done prior without fail, including that day. However, this time the server refused to start. It would try for a long time, and then give me the "Dedicated server failed to start" message.

I have tried:

1. Whitelisting DST in my antivirus

2. running both steam and DST as administrator

3. disabling all mods

4. rolling back to further backups

I have also tested other worlds to see if this a global issue for my ability to host servers. However, all my other worlds work fine from the testing I did today. Caves included. The ONLY world the issue is occurring on is the one world.

For additional context, this world is both online and a cloud save. I only play solo on it now, but very early on I played with a friend.

I also cannot duplicate the world or turn it into a local save now.

I have scanned through the server logs, but cannot find any obvious issues.

Please, please help me. This world is like, 400 days in, and I would be devastated to lose it.

Steps to Reproduce

Frankly I have no clue.

Never mind, I have solved the issue. I supplanted the world data into a new save and that allowed me to boot it up! The old world is dead to me now. It will be burned at the stake accordingly.
