LUA "nil value" error when starting game.

I have tried verifying the game files through Steam = It came back that all files were successfully validated.

- Tried to run the game again and got the same error at the same point.

Manually deleted the files and ran the validation = files redownloaded.

- Tried to run the game again and got the same error at the same point.

Completely uninstalled the game, reinstalled it.

- Tried to run the game again and got the same error at the same point.

Tried running Don't Starve with no DLC running at all = game runs fine.

Tried the Reign of Giants DLC and the ShipWrecked DLC = same error appears as for Hamlet.

 

So I can run the main vanilla game fine, but cannot use any of the DLC that I have just paid for...

Thanks for the report.

I am looking into this. It's rather strange since nothing related to that was done recently, but am investigating.

A hotfix for this should now be live.

All working now!
