‘Manage saves’ GUI added so that it’s easier for players to restore/remove saves & backups
Minor network optimization for in-game hosting (Less demanding for the host when other players are in the game at the same time)
‘Join Game’ tab has been updated. Players can now add favourite servers, and see if a server is running, and if they support crossplay or not.
Players can now use the parameter -crossplay while running Dedicated servers to support crossplay. When using this parameter, the backend will be running Playfab instead of Steamworks. (A ‘Join code’ will appear when you join a Dedicated server supporting crossplay. Players can use this code to join the server. This Join code is regenerated whenever the server is restarted.)
A new branch, "default_old", has been added, where you can play on the previous Steam version of the game in case your server hasn't been updated yet (Steam might need a restart for the branch to show up)
A question mark indicates that a server status is uncertain, while a red X indicates that the server is down. If there is a “shuffle” icon next to the server status, that means the server supports crossplay.

0.210.6[]

Release date: 30 August 2022

Fixes & Improvements:

Autobackup system added that will keep one 2-hour and one 12-hour backup by default and can be customised in misc settings. Default setting on dedicated servers is 4, which can be customised with new parameters (-backups -backupshort -backuplong).
The game will now save after you sleep, or at 30 minute intervals, and the timer is reset when using the manual save console command. The save interval can be customised on dedicated servers using the new parameter (-saveinterval).
Using the console save command now also saves the character file
The dedicated server manual PDF has been updated with the new parameters.
World save gets disabled if it’s a corrupted world file or if it’s an incompatible world version and the game will return to the main menu. Dedicated servers will shut down if the world is corrupt.
A change to Steam Cloud saves to avoid a particular crash during saves that could corrupt the world save.
The game returns to a pause state if a multiplayer host is alone in a multiplayer session if all players leave (like it was previously).
Players can no longer create a world with the same name when Steam Cloud saves are enabled.
Characters with duplicate filenames will now be hidden.
Characters with different names from the filename will be displayed to differentiate between renamed files
