[0.12.24] [pending] Steam troubles when starting dedicated server

Post by Kirk »

When starting a dedicated server from the command line (or BAT file) in Windows, the attached window is shown. In Task Manager I can see it is called "Allow game to launch" and has a Steam icon, so I presume it's the Steam protection doing it's job. However, the window itself is see-through (at least for me), and does not respond to clicking it. As such I am unable to start a dedicated server using the Steam version.

Probably a Steam problem :/

Hello.

What system are you using? Can you post the log file?

Same problem right here, unable to run headless server from Steam directory.

That is nice, but as I said in the post above yours, without more info (and the log file), there is not much we can do.

The --start-server and similar command line arguments were changed, so they don't require Steam to be running, fixed for 0.12.25.

My apologies. There was no log file since Factorio never starts.
