I need help fixing "Disconnected from Steam servers"
None of my friends have this issue and I have tried every fix I know. It only effects this game, I am still able to play multiplayer. I cant join or host multiplayer games either.

I have the same problem, i live in the same house with my brother who can play it without any problems in his computer in multiplayer, but i cant join anything or host anything because of the same massage that says *i im disconected from steam servers*... Dont know what to do.

I solved it by reinstalling Steam, beware that it does uninstall all your downloaded games from Steam.

I am experiencing the same problem as you, yesterday I was hosting the server but today my friend can't connect to the server and when he goes to public servers it says that the game is disconnected from steam :/ reinstalling did not solve the problem at least for me

I found the solution:
You have to go in this folder location on your PC:
\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\76561198019728029/ (if you can't find appdata, press Windows key + R and type %appdata%, then click appdata at the top)

Once you'll be in the file : 76561198019728029, you should have a file name Multiplayer and MultiplayerClient. Rename it to MultiplayerClient to Multiplayer. This will make them one file. Restart game and multiplayer should work.

Linux user here. I had the same error message. I set the proton version to experimental, but before I restarted the game, I tried @GTNIGHTER's fix:

you should have a file name Multiplayer and MultiplayerClient. Rename it to MultiplayerClient to Multiplayer. This will make them one file. Restart game and multiplayer should work.

The equivalent path for me was:
`<Steam folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1326470/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Endnight/SonsOfTheForest/Saves/76561198049263418/`

I had neither a Multiplayer nor a MultiplayerClient directory. A friend zipped and sent me their Multiplayer folder, which I then extracted into my save folder.

I don't know whether it was the proton version or Multiplayer directory, but either way it works now.

Y'all need to report this glitch and press on Endnight regarding this matter. This has been a problem since very early on when the game was in Early Access. I see it never got fixed yet. They really need to get their asses in gear and start fixing these long standing glitches and bugs.

I disabled Steam Autocloud for the game in Steam settings and enabled Experimental proton – then I was able to connect to servers

We used proton experimental on linux, and it worked.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
