I’ve unfortunately had this happen to me a few times already too. It’s not terrible if you haven’t done a lot in game but repeating tasks and fights can be annoying. It also only tends to happen when I’ve had other players in my world and typically if rollbacks were used. I’d come back the next time and had lost several days.

I'm trying to figure out what specifically is causing the saving to stop working. Do you remember if you're just playing continuously during the sessions where this happens, or are you doing rollbacks, quitting and restarting, or anything else you can think of? Are you playing by yourself, or in split screen? Are you playing an imported PS4 world, or a new one?

Hia .

It was a longer sesion like most mentioned. 20 plus days .

A couple of rollbacks to test things .

No quitting between rollbacks .

Then I ended the sesion by disconnecting form the world as usual .

When I left i noticed the no cog thingy .

Its was single screen online .

Thing that I noticed that save sync was off for the PS5 version by default ?

Since i switch it on I havent lost any progress or days .

Maybe thats the key to it ? Or maybe just luck .

This was all on two imported PS4 Worlds .

I've also been experiencing issues with progress not being saved on the PS5 edition of Don't Starve Together. My friend and I have been playing on a new world I host (non-imported) for an hour or two each night. We average about 10-15 continuous in-game days worth of progress before we get off. At this point I, as the host, disconnect from the game to close the server and am brought back to the home menu. I let the game sit on this menu for around 10 seconds to let it process stuff before closing the application entirely.

We have experienced our world not saving both with and without doing world rollbacks. 

One thing of note we did notice is that it seems to be tied to the host's account not saving rather than the world itself. When checking the obituaries tab on the game menu, my friend (non-host) can actually see their death logs for days that occured during the world setback. However, I (the host) have no info of my death logs during these times, as if it just never happened for me.

Just to add no crashes to report since the last bug fix .

The only thing is the desync with shards and loosing connection to Klei servers while going in and out of caves .  (Not sure but i think I saw that it was fixed )

So at first glance this issue seems to be related to rollbacks while in the game. I've been able to reproduce it that way but It will take some more investigating to find the root of the problem. When rolling back sometimes the saving system gets into a bad state and stops working.
In the meantime I'd suggest that if you really need to roll back you quit  to the main menu and do the rollback from the server load screen, then start it up again.

Thanks for looking into this. 

It’s mainly continuously, I might disconnect the server to change some settings to make my world easier for my friends to play in (like turning off hounds or sanity monsters before they join). It’s happened a few times and I noticed it’s typically after I’ve had a long session with others joining my world. It’s also a ps4 imported save by the way.
 

It happened on Tuesday, I helped 4 of my friends kill Ancient Fuelweaver using my long term world (imported) and we carried on for several hours. They disconnected after a while and I carried on solo. The next day, Wednesday afternoon, I came back to see that my character and world was back to before we started the Ancient Fuelweaver fight. Lost over 40 days of progress. It’s happened before too but only lost handful of days and it was also after I’ve had visitors in my save. 
 

As for rollbacks, yes, I do believe there might have been some in the sessions where progress wasn’t saved but I don’t recall exactly how many or why we did it.

Just tested and forced a lost of connection between the shards by going in and out of caves .

Lost four days of progress even when the game was auto saving each day .

It seems completely random .

So You might look out for that until its fixed .
