Hello halosdad05.
Can you try the following and let us know if that has any effect on the issue?

  1. Update your game to experimental
  2. Join experimental server
  3. Leave the experimental server
  4. Update back to 0.62 version (Stable)

Also, if you have Steam cloud sync enabled, please try to disable it.
Regards,
Geez
