Wortox owned, but game always spawns me as Wilson (Offline user ID issue)

Hello. I have an issue with Wortox in Don’t Starve Together on Steam. I bought Wortox a long time ago and used to play him online without any problems. Now, when I select Wortox on character select screen and start the world, the game always spawns me as Wilson instead. This happens even in a brand new world.
I have already tried:
Verifying game files in Steam 
Reinstalling the game.
Deleting game cache and local files.
Disabling all mods and trying on a clean client.
Playing in online mode on Steam.
Wortox is visible as owned in my Steam account and in-game. Other things seem to work fine.
In my client_log.txt I noticed that the game starts with an Offline user ID instead of a normal online user. I suspect that because of this, the game treats me as an offline user and does not allow me to actually use my paid character, even though I am playing through Steam and online.
Could you please check my account / Steam link and explain why the game is creating an Offline user ID for me and not letting me play as Wortox, even though I own the character?
Thank you in advance.

Changed: I noticed that the same thing happens not only with Characters, but also with Clothing.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Launch Steam in online mode.

  2. Launch Don’t Starve Together from Steam.

  3. From the main menu, host a new online world (no mods required, bug also happens without mods).

  4. On the character select screen, choose Wortox and confirm.

  5. Wait for the world to load.

Expected result: I should spawn as Wortox.
Actual result: The game always spawns me as Wilson instead of Wortox.

I have the same problem and can't solve it

 

Just restart Steam. But keep in mind that this issue will recur every time you enter the game. It might not work, but it helps me sometimes.
