Wanda is Impossible to play as

  • Closed

Recently bought Wanda, and every time I try to choose her in a self-hosted server (including a server set to public), I spawn in as wilson instead. Using c_despawn or the upgraded florid postern doesn't work either, with the same issue. I disabled all of my mods, both server and client, and made a new world with the default settings. I still wasn't able to play as Wanda. 

I have noticed that browsing games, I can join any public server as Wanda with no issue. 

No idea what's causing this, unfortunately. I've tried verifying my files through steam, and it didn't change anything.


Steps to Reproduce

Host a game, and select Wanda at the start. Obviously something else as well, but I can't figure it out.

please verify your game files and try again.

If the problem persists then please attach your client log and the server log for your world 
\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\clien_log.txt
\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\<your steam id>\Cluster_#\Master\server_log.txt

  • replace <your steam id> with your steamid
  • replace Cluster_# with the cluster folder for your world (you can click on the folder icon in the world select screen to get here)

As I had said in the post, I had already verified the files at least 3 times. However, I just did it again after checking to make sure I still couldn't play Wanda, this time verifying them twice in a row, and it worked! Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble. I guess it just needed a little more troubleshooting.

I hate to bring this up again, but I ran into the issue again. This time, I have the files attached. I definitely saw something in the server log about defaulting to Wilson. 

I made sure to disable my mods, and then verify the files multiple times, and then test again on a brand new world. It had the same result, and that is the world that I attached the files from.

Sorry for the trouble!
