Don't Starve Together stuck at loading screen.

Try to update your steam client or DST game. there were recent updates for both. if that still doesnt fix it disable all mods. if still white maybe update graphic card drivers or restart steam fully or restart the computer. Also if you still got the bug give info on the rig. Maybe there are problems with OS , certain cards ? Idk ...

edit: for me it worked before and after the update D:

I had the same problem and thought it was mods, but I solve the issue by loading default preset in the world customization tab when creating server. Hope it will help.

I did a few things and found a few odd things about the issue.

Firstly, it seems to only effect making new servers/worlds. I wanted to make a new world since I didn't feel like joined my current server without my friends. I ran into the issue of the loading screen taking forever. The world I was trying to create had (or would have had) quite a bit of customization done to it.

Secondly, I went to my PC (the first time the loading issue came up was done on my laptop, where I don't have to deal with crashes) and decided to make the same server/world with the same customizations, and it loaded with no problem at all. I tested another server I had made at the time and that loaded as well with no issues.

Thirdly, I went back to my laptop, and decided to test my already made server/world. To my surprise, it loaded. I tried to make the same world again, but like the first try, it got stuck at the loading screen.

Lastly, I followed Minuit's tip made a new default world on my laptop and it does indeed load with no issues. To further test something else, I suppose the custom presets does affect the issue in a way, but I can't say to what degree. I did a few minor tweeks (changes how long/short seasons were, what season I started in, and made hounds less abundant) and it still managed to load a server/world on my laptop.

My thoughts on the matter: I guess the server/world can't generate properly if too many changes are being made.

I also noticed that making minor changes from the default preset do not reproduce the issue. Did you use any old "custom preset" (1 to 5) created before patch ? All 5 lead to infinite loading for me.

When I made a new world using an old "custom preset," it did cause the infinite loading screen. Oddly though, an old world using those same "custom presets" was able to load.

And just now, recreated an old "custom preset" and it worked.

That happened to me to. I currently use 72 mods and the default preset and loads perfectly fine, but when I try to load one of my custom presets even without mods it gets stuck at loading screen.

I'm assuming as much that the old custom presets that were made before the patch aren't useable anymore, so I suppose making new or recreating custom ones and overwriting the old ones should help now.

For some reason my game freezes when I try to go to the server mods. And I can't go to the host server tab eighter because then the game won't respond.
