Thanks, was resolved in the 2.0.13 update.

Hey, I created a symlink using mklink /d <target> <source> , where target is somewhere in my C:\Documents\ Folder and source is somewhere on my W:\ network drive. I also tried to create a junction using mklink /J ... from C:\Documents\<foo> to C:\Documents\<bar>, but starting from foo did not help. ...

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this change may have made starting the game from mounted network drives or symlinks across filesystems impossible.

Here my bug report I created that describes the problem in more detail: viewtopic.php?p=622837#p622837

After some digging through the 2.0.7 changelog, I found the following entry:

- Fixed that require() would allow files from other drives. (115137)

If I had to guess, this bugfix introduced the behavior I am experiencing now, introducing this new problem.

It IS mapped to a drive letter ( W:/ ), that does not help. Oddly enough, Factorio maps the drive letter back to its native network path (e.g. //192.168.254.3/export/ ) even when manually configured to use the drive letter for read-data in the loaded config.ini It even resolves symlinks, because I c...

I can confirm that this error is introduced somewhere between 1.1.110 and 2.0.7. I downloaded both 1.1.110 and 2.0.7 from the Factorio website, installed them both on the NAS. Both use the config.ini file that lives under my %appdata%, exact same configuration. 1.1.110 is able to start without crash...

I have now successfully started the 1.1.110 standalone Factorio version installed on the NAS. I have used the exact same configuration/paths as I have previously in the 2.0.8 version. I mounted the NAS using its local hostname, not the IP, as opposed to my original post. But I confirmed that this is...

Thanks for the response. The NAS path is intentional, as I want Factorio to be loaded from the NAS. Manually setting the read-data path in the config.ini to utilize network drive letters (e.g. W:\shared\games\standalone\Factorio\data ) results in the exact same log file I attached to my report. I am...

Situation I have Factorio installed on a Samba NAS in my Home Network that I share with a few friends so that we do not have to download games multiple times. I mounted the NAS on Windows using the "Add Network Drive" option in the file explorer. Behavior before I had version 1.1.110 inst...
