Regarding the "No Auth Token" error: if you definitely have a cluster_token.txt in your MyDediServer folder, make sure that both your StartDSTServers.bat and MyDediServer folder are located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether. Sometimes your default data folder will be a numbered folder, and some users reported the issue fixed after moving their dedi server up one folder level. Anyways, sorry so many of you are having issues. Hope this helps!
Can confirm, putting it in the abovementioned folder worked for us! Thanks Jazzy! Newcomer to the channel and love the simplicity in which you do your tuts! Much appreciated my dude!
what will happen if you shutdown the server? its reset from beggining cuz u need to open .bat file again OR just ur server gone from public search but save data still exist?
I'm running a dedicated server in another computer, and GODDAMN, the difference in performance is so big compared to just running it directly from Host Game, it even fixed the Flingomatics (their snowballs being unnafected by gravity while the server was lagging, which is no longer a problem)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! So many hours of gameplay and finally I was able to make a server. Now I can play with frieds and disconnect to eat or something without pausing or shutting down the server.
Ah they updated it, you can now easily get all the files you need, i remember meticulously typing out all the files and folders 2 years ago, haha. can't wait to see the video about how to add mods. c:
Hey! To anyone getting the dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrender_x64 error, I found that redownloading SteamCMD (make sure to do it directly on your c:/ drive! Hit browse if need be!) does the job! Also, not sure if it helps, but go ahead and put the Dedi Server file straight into DoNotStarveTogether, instead of the weird number one. All will be good, no matter how confusing it gets. All else fails, start again from scratch. You've got this, bud.
If you got an error message regarding "windows cannot find 'dontstarve_nullrenderer" ect. You could try changing "bin64" to bin. (in the batch file) that fixed my issue with finding the nullrenderer
hello Jazzy, thanks for the detailed information, but I had a problem, I did everything as you said, but when I launched the batch file "StartDSTServers", I got an error - cannot find don'tstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer. Please help me, I will be very grateful
I can't get the batch to switch to my other directory and just keep getting an error about it not being able to find the "...nullrenderer". It's like the "cd" command isn't switching to the proper directory. ANy help?
Hello Jazy, this is a great video. I have tried all the steps, but could not have the dedicated server... One thing I noticed is that, you have "token" files within your DST file in D, but I do not.. my DST file is very simple with 5-6 file in it.. Would you be helpfull, I would soo appreciate if you could have any idea why I couldnt make it.. Thank you, greetings
I followed every step you did. Tried a few times from scratch each time, yet when running the batch file it's just stuck on "Registering secondary shard....". Can't find a solution anywhere.. What a bummer. Big thanks for the video though! Without it I wouldn't even tried.
Hey Thanks for the video! I'm just curious is that way is "less laggy" for hosting the game? Because when i want to play with myself hosting a game is a lot more laggy and i get less fps, so i wonder that way i can play solo easily maybe
Thanks for the guide! I noticed on stream that you use c_shutdown() on the in-game console, will that safely shutdown both shards so that I don't need to run that in each of the terminals?
This was really helpful, thank you. I was wondering if I can keep the dedicated server running without the .bat file on. It just feels like I made normal server with extra steps because whenever I close the .bat file, the games goes with it. I’m not really tech savvy so yeah. Thanks for the vid anyway mate
Those two console windows represent the dedicated server; just minimize the windows if you don't wanna look at them. If you are keeping the server running for other players it's still much less resource-intensive than running the server with your game client.
Hey thanks for the guide! Everything worked perfectly except the new pause feature they added isn't working properly when I'm in the dedi server. It says the game is paused but time still goes by and I can see birds and butterflies still moving around. It works fine in normal hosted servers though. I have no idea how to fix this so any help would be appreciated
I just tried it out and it totally works. Drag n drop your Cluster folder contents into MyDediServer. It'll probably need a new cluster token for the server, though. Mods can be transferred in too, they just need to be added to the file dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua located in /SteamCMD/steamapps/common/Don't_Starve_Together_Dedicated_Server/mods
Yup, as easy as copy and paste. I've always been impressed that Klei made it so easy for us to make dedicated servers and provide all this support. It's a major part of the reason they rapidly became my favorite gaming company.
Yeah the Pre-configured Server method is getting phased out so I wanted to show the newer method. I think this way might be more beneficial because it doesn't depend on the Steam client to update server files.
Hello, I'm asking for one detail done, I open the server launcher, Id installed the steamCMD and the world was created at the klei page, but it appear in my screen "windows cannot find 'dontsrarve_dedicated_server_nullrender" And it closes, someone knows what's happening and how to fix it? I'D already changed the "c"s for "d"s but nothing. If you can explain me like I was kindergarten child I would apreciate it a lot
My problem is this: after the server successfully runs for a few hours, eventually the server log will start to say “Error while registering secondary shard server: NOT_IN_DB” over and over every 5 minutes, and my server disappears from the browse servers list. For me to fix this I have to restart the server every time. But it happens again after a few hours. Is there no way I can run the server 24/7 without having to restart it myself every few hours? :
Following this guide I couldn't make a dedicated server, my game files is in a folder with a lot of numbers, intead of just inside the 'klei' folder. How can I fix this?
Pasting a comment from further down. Hope this helps: "IDK why, but in your video your cluster folders are directly inside your Donotstarvetogether folder while in mine they are one step further in a numbers sequence folder (guessing my player number in steam). I just moved the “MyDediServer” folder outside the numbers folder, modified the bat file with the new locations and it ran properly."
Hello, I’ve successfully created a dedicated server from watching this video. Thanks! I was just wondering how I could make the dedicated server keep running in the background, even when my computer shuts down. Is this possible? Is there a way to keep the server running without the two command prompt windows always running? Thanks!
The thing I hate about every dedicated server rental for Don't Starve Together, is that if you want caves you have to pay for two servers. I understand why, but it's still annoying to pay twice as much for what I feel is one game.
Sorry for being late to the party but anyone know how to fix the issue of "Windows cannot find 'dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again" Kinda new to hosting dedicated servers.
Would this be intense for a computer to with not much help to run I want to see if I can run a dedicated server for myself and friends but would probably need to know before trying
hey, can i have some help? ive done all you said but it still says "the system cannot find the path specified" even though i copied all of it correctly.
It says Windows cannot find ‘dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrender_x64. What do I do? Also my steam command said fatal error while it was downloading. I’m guessing that has to do with it.
Thanks for the video Jazzy. A small issue, when installed, my Steamcmd folder does not have the steamcmd\steamapps\common folder and respective files. The only file path with that is the steam\steamapps\common (where the original game is stored). Any way I can fix that?
Hello Jazzy. I used your video guide to set it up but I´m running into a problem. The bat file is able to open both servers (master and caves) but in both windows i get this: [00:00:03]: !!!! Your Server Will Not Start !!!! [00:00:03]: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:00:03]: No auth token could be found. I discovered that even when I dragged the files downloaded from the klei accounts page, when I go back and check the configuration is not the same that I typed. Any idea on how to solve it?

@Ernesto Cepeda I was having same problem, i tried to delete "validate" from "StartDSTSevers.bat" and that didn't solve either. But I found the solution (if you are having same problem I was): To me the problem was that my Cluster_# folder was inside another folder called my steam ID like this: "Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/1235414512" , and I put the "MyDediSever" folder and "StartDSTServers.bat" in the steam ID folder too (and that was what was causing the error!).

Yes, I did disable validate. My problem is now solved.

I just moved the “mydidiserver” folder outside the numbers folder, modified the bat file with the new locations and it ran properly. Thank you so much!! @Brawl, you should try this.
When I run StartDSTServer.bat I get this error " Windows can't find the file "dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer". I did everything that you did on the video also i have something a little bit different than you on the video you have this directory where you have cluster 1 to 6, etc C:\Users\Usuario\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether but my directory is this C:\Users\Usuario\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\97363276 why is that? everything is on that folder named with numbers is that the reason i'm getting this error?
Hey Jazyy, to be honest I got the game from steamunlocked (pirated) and i really wanted to play it with my friends, so I did everything you said, I even fixed the problem with No Auth Token and the server is working BUT I still dont see it up there. I have connection on Lan so I dont know what is wrong, I even restarted but still no server up there, is it because it says offline on the right corner? Please I need help.
You can't connect to servers in Offline mode. Dunno how stolen versions of DST work but I'd imagine you wouldn't be able to go online with it. Friendly reminder that DST is currently on sale during Klei Fest!
Guys i need help, been doing this few times already and i still get stuck on loading the last commands, where it writes that “registering secondary shard in EU lobby”, and it is doing again and again an again, any ideas to solve that?
What if you did everything but when it starts up the over world and caves it says the token doesn't work 👀💦 I'm sorry I have been bothering you on every platform. I have tried over and over but once I get everything up it says my servers wont run because of the token even after I got it from my games
Do you get the Windows notification that you are changing a file's extension? If not you may need to make extensions visible in your browser's view options.
@@JazzysGames that was indeed the problem, once I made extensions visible windows asked me if I wanted to convert the file to bat. However now I am encountering another problem: once I double-click StartDSTServer.bat an error pops up: dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer not found, please make sure the name is correct and try again.
@@JazzysGames wow I did! Both servers up and running! Question: everytime I wanna play, do I need to open the the StartDSTServer.bat thing ot do i just start the game and browse for the server? Also if I close the consoles, will the server still be on for others, or will it shut down? Again thousand thanks for your video!!
Is there a place to find dedicated servers that are up and running already? I have a good pc, but my internet is trash and would likely be crashing constantly. I would like to play on a dedicated server though, just not sure how to go about finding one
Damn... I was wondering on how to make one but I have no idea to how to make on in mac If anyone wants to help I’m just stuck in the last part... I need to make the document runnable but the .bat folder in Mac does not work so I need to find a replacement or equivalent
Hey I've tried nearly everything but I keep getting the message "E_INVALID_TOKEN" and the server will not start. I've generated new cluster tokens. I've redone the entire process you showed in the video. I've checked all file types and paths. Running it through SteamCMD and DST Dedicated Server doesnt make any difference. Any advice?
@@xfrazle thanks man I tried that too. Not sure if I deleted the cluster in the number folder though. Might be the problem. It’s so wack honestly I just want to make a server for my peeps :/
@@gilanlong I had the same problem, but the source of it for me was that for some reason all of my cluster files were generated into a new folder inside of the DST folder. Once I removed them all from the folder they worked. *sorry if that made no sense, I'm not quite sure how to explain it.
@@gentlemanssouls9338 no that makes perfect sense. I had one too. It creates a number folder inside the DST folder. Mine was something like 98261518382. Thanks. I haven’t been active with DST for a while. I’ll have a look again 🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate it dude.
Is there any benefit to a dedicated server if I play alone? or with 1-2 other people, but who only play when we are all together and wouldn't play otherwise?
You will want to modify your worldgenoverride.lua to include those parameters. Here is the full list of options: forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/127830-worldgenoverridelua-settings-for-march-qol-update/
@@JazzysGames if i edit it, will my existing world save disappear? should i delete it first to start a new world generation? looking forward to your answer
Correct. World generation changes won't affect any pre-existing world. So to generate a new world with new settings, create the worldgenoverride.lua, delete the save folder, and start the server
I help a problem :(. When I "extra here" is done and in this location, I don't see steamapp file and then can't double click to turn on the server. Plz help me !
Have you run StartDSTServers.bat yet? That should download and install the DST server files into the steamapps folder. If that doesn't work then I'd try the Klei Dedi Server forums.
Regarding the "No Auth Token" error: if you definitely have a cluster_token.txt in your MyDediServer folder, make sure that both your StartDSTServers.bat and MyDediServer folder are located in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether.

I have connection on Lan so I dont know what is wrong, I even restarted but still no server up there, is it because it says offline on the right corner? Please I need help.
You can't connect to servers in Offline mode. Dunno how stolen versions of DST work but I'd imagine you wouldn't be able to go online with it. Friendly reminder that DST is currently on sale during Klei Fest!
Is it possible to run an already existing "host game" world as dedicated, if so why cant I find its token on my Klei account?
Guys i need help, been doing this few times already and i still get stuck on loading the last commands, where it writes that “registering secondary shard in EU lobby”, and it is doing again and again an again, any ideas to solve that?
"Windows cannot find 'dontstarve_dedicatedserver_nullrender' I did everything exactly, idk how to fix it :(
It says that "dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer_x64 cannot be found", what should I do here?
mine didnt turn into a executable file after renaming it .bat is there a fix for this?
In your View options, make sure you see the filename extensions.
What if you did everything but when it starts up the over world and caves it says the token doesn't work 👀💦 I'm sorry I have been bothering you on every platform. I have tried over and over but once I get everything up it says my servers wont run because of the token even after I got it from my games
I got Huge Error it says is_master config file
hey my .bat file does not register as that and remains a mere text file, is there a way to change it manually?
Do you get the Windows notification that you are changing a file's extension? If not you may need to make extensions visible in your browser's view options.
@@JazzysGames that was indeed the problem, once I made extensions visible windows asked me if I wanted to convert the file to bat. However now I am encountering another problem: once I double-click StartDSTServer.bat an error pops up: dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer not found, please make sure the name is correct and try again.
Check your file paths and make sure they point to your SteamCMD folder.
@@JazzysGames wow I did! Both servers up and running! Question: everytime I wanna play, do I need to open the the StartDSTServer.bat thing ot do i just start the game and browse for the server? Also if I close the consoles, will the server still be on for others, or will it shut down? Again thousand thanks for your video!!
im certain i did everything correctly but for some reason my server isnt showing up in the game, help!
Is there a place to find dedicated servers that are up and running already? I have a good pc, but my internet is trash and would likely be crashing constantly. I would like to play on a dedicated server though, just not sure how to go about finding one
Yea u can find in browse games, just search room with dedicated server sccount
how do you add mods to your newly created dediated server?
Damn... I was wondering on how to make one but I have no idea to how to make on in mac
If anyone wants to help I’m just stuck in the last part... I need to make the document runnable but the .bat folder in Mac does not work so I need to find a replacement or equivalent
Have you tried this guide? forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64687-dedicated-server-quick-setup-guide-mac-os-x/
I got it all to work as needed and with mods, then it just never booted up again...
Is it possible to run a dedicated server on console?
Hey I've tried nearly everything but I keep getting the message "E_INVALID_TOKEN" and the server will not start. I've generated new cluster tokens. I've redone the entire process you showed in the video. I've checked all file types and paths. Running it through SteamCMD and DST Dedicated Server doesnt make any difference.
Any advice?
@@xfrazle thanks man I tried that too. Not sure if I deleted the cluster in the number folder though. Might be the problem. It’s so wack honestly I just want to make a server for my peeps :/
@@xfrazle sweet I’ll try it now. Will let you know if it works :)
@@gilanlong I had the same problem, but the source of it for me was that for some reason all of my cluster files were generated into a new folder inside of the DST folder. Once I removed them all from the folder they worked. *sorry if that made no sense, I'm not quite sure how to explain it.
@@gentlemanssouls9338 no that makes perfect sense. I had one too. It creates a number folder inside the DST folder. Mine was something like 98261518382. Thanks. I haven’t been active with DST for a while. I’ll have a look again 🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate it dude.
@@gilanlong Happy i could help! Hope it works now 👍
so i have to have those two tabs open forever to keep the server up?
Yes
I have a question, will be the server still available to find after you shutdowned those windows?
No, those Windows are your dedicated server running.
What's the diffrence between dedicated server and hosted server

JAZZY U R JUST AWESOME !!
Hey i need help
Steamcmd show me not found nullrederer
Is there any benefit to a dedicated server if I play alone? or with 1-2 other people, but who only play when we are all together and wouldn't play otherwise?
Not that I can think of unless you are trying to add additional maps.
@@JazzysGames Thank you so much. 😁
What about mods . How to turn on mods??
Coming soon!
i need help it will not siwitch when i put .bat
help pls
it wont turn into a batch file
im stuck at step 6 creating the .bat folder it wont work for me HELP!!!!!!! please!
How can i reset the world on my dedicated server?
How to configure Looping to never and Branching to most??
You will want to modify your worldgenoverride.lua to include those parameters. Here is the full list of options: forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/127830-worldgenoverridelua-settings-for-march-qol-update/
@@JazzysGames thank you so much!!
@@JazzysGames if i edit it, will my existing world save disappear? should i delete it first to start a new world generation? looking forward to your answer
Correct. World generation changes won't affect any pre-existing world. So to generate a new world with new settings, create the worldgenoverride.lua, delete the save folder, and start the server
@@JazzysGames tysm again
So I'm taking a wild guess here and say that the pc that has the dedicated server settings must be online 24/7 if you want people to join at anytime?
Yeah the PC and the servers need to be running. Good news is it doesn't tax your computer nearly as much as running the actual game 24/7.
@@JazzysGames Oh cool. Thanks for the advice Jazzy!
For the algorithm! And yes to the shards video
Does this work for cracked version?
I use that same desktop wallpaper.
I help a problem :(. When I "extra here" is done and in this location, I don't see steamapp file and then can't double click to turn on the server. Plz help me !
Have you run StartDSTServers.bat yet? That should download and install the DST server files into the steamapps folder. If that doesn't work then I'd try the Klei Dedi Server forums.
The last step wont load it sends me to the text file please exsplain
