ALSO TRANSLATED: No se guardan los personajes cuando soy "anfitrión" de una partida multijugador

[baham]

Estos días he estado jugando como anfitrión, y si bien el mapa se guarda, y en un principio creo que también mi personaje; cada vez que cierro la partida o que alguien sale y vuelve a entrar aparece en la pantalla de "Seleccionar lugar de aparición", y luego "Creación de personaje", como es lógico, se pierden todas las habilidades, etc. No sé si es un error nuestro, de que tengamos que guardar los datos de alguna forma, o alguna opción de servidor; o bien si se trata de un error del juego. ¡Muchas gracias!


Characters wont save when I host a multiplayer game.
I have been playing as a host with my friends. The map saves, and I think my character saved the first time I shutted down the server; but at the moment, every time I close the game or someone closes and rejoins, the character seems to disappear and we start in the "Select spawnpoint" screen, followed by the "Character customization/creation" screen. I'm not sure if it is a human error from ourselves or it's a bug from the game. ¡Thank you in advance! (I tried my best to translate but this message may contain some errors as english is not my main language.)

Do you have any mods enabled perhaps? Some of them may cause issues as you described.

No, I'm pretty sure is Vanila. Thanks!

¡Sure! Sorry for the delay.

I was concerned because I am very noob in the game, and achieving some levels like Carpenter 1 after reading like 8 boosting books was an incredible progress to me. I know this may not be something special for an intermediate player but it was to me and loosing all the Skills and Habilities when logging out was pretty demotivational.

Thanks for the logs, it seems like there is indeed an issue with loading the database for your character, this is pretty bad as it would mean that you have to start a new server or delete all characters to fix it.

Did you perhaps forcefully close the server at any point? Either using Alt+F4 or closing the game with the X button?

Alternatively, are you perhaps playing the game in Split screen mode while playing multiplayer?

Well I think I closed the game properly every time, but I am not 100% sure. If I have to delete all the server and start again is a big deal but I think I can try as I already lost the skills and some important items. When I am playing multiplayer the screen is not splitted. I play in my account and my friends play in theirs. Also, i looked for the information of the characters and found some .txt with Perks and Items. I think I will try to copy all the server data into a folder in the Desktop to have a backup while trying to solve this; if that makes sense. I'll let you know. ¡Thank you!


EDIT: I remember closing once the game and had Windows Defender asking me for something about permissions for PZ, it may be related...but, how do I access that question now to allow PZ in Windows Defender? (I think I just ignored that window).

-Deleting the characters doesn't work. Also there was only one character in the menu.

EDIT:
-Deleting the world MIGHT have worked. But I would need some time in order to see if it saves my friends data too.

Thank you a lot! I really appreciatte your patience and your will to help!



By the way, could I replace my character info from one of the saves? It doesn't make sense to do it now because I lost my base, I just ask if it is possible looking forward as this may fail again. If it is possible I don't need an explanation, I will try to learn it myself. Thanks!

With replacing characters, I would recommend just using the admin tools / item spawner to create an identical character instead of copying characters over, as doing that can be quite complex and take way longer than just manually editing the character.

You can give yourself admin permissions with the /grantadmin "Username" command
You can then edit your stats and spawn items in the new Admin menu on the left side of the screen.
