Game suddenly crashes after random amount of play time

  • Fixed

I can start or join a new world just fine, but somewhere between day 2 and day 5 the game just completely crashes. Trying to rejoin gets me back in for a few seconds, but then it crashes again pretty much immediately.

From what testing I've done, I've found:

- It doesn't matter if I host the world or someone else does, the issue persists.
- None of the possible fixes listed here have worked for me (I'm running Windows 10 and followed the Windows fixes)
- I've tried reinstalling the game to no avail.

Please find my relevant logs attached. If you need more information, please let me know so I can send it. Thank you in advance!

Steps to Reproduce

1) Start new world or join an existing world (can host or join someone else's, it doesn't matter which)

2) Play game until sudden crash occurs (can take ~2-5 in-game days to occur)

A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.

Which server in the zip file were you crashing on?

Several of them, honestly. I haven't tested every single one, but the most recent tests were the ones with "Testing Tube" in the name, as well as "Dunzo." But the issue was still happening even if I joined a world a friend hosted as well, which was what really confused me about the issue in general.

EDIT: After further testing, it's happening on every world I load into, whether I host or someone else hosts.

This has been happening to me for a while now, I have posted several posts about this. It does not matter what system you are using, mac or windows, what character, what mod (if any).

UPDATE: Just found something interesting on line 789 of master_server_log.txt: After ~4 minutes of nothing, it suddenly says the parent process has died and is exiting. Unsure if I can dig much further as I'm not a developer at Klei, but I've attached the relevant log again in case it's changed since I last uploaded it.

Sorry for the long wait, when the game crashes, does it just shut down, or does it give you a screen with an error message?

No worries! The game just freezes for a couple seconds and then shuts down. It doesn't give me any error messages.

Thanks. We will be adding some more debugging into the next hotfix that will hopefully identify the issue.

As of hotfix 503023, there will now be a donotstarvetogether_*.dmp file located in \Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\ when the game crashes to desktop. Next time the game crashes, could you please attach the *dmp files to this bug report?

Absolutely! I only had the one .dmp file, but I've attached it here.

This will be fixed (for real this time) in the next update. In the mean time, I'd suggest disabling some mods (I'm not sure which one is causing the crash) or playing in the beta, which has the fix already.

Hello again. I just recently got a new computer, and just tried running DST for the first time on it. I made it fairly close to the end of day 2 in the world I created, but then the random crash happened again. Trying to reload the world now only crashes before it can finish loading.

I can try fiddling with the mods I'm using again, but I don't know that that would help; I don't remember it helping last time. I can grab whatever logs might be needed again as they're needed as well.
