The stand-alone downloads for any stable, post-release Linux or macOS version still have “alpha” in their name. It doesn’t have any impact on the actual game (of course), but it looks kind-of weird that the server offers factorio_alpha_1.1.33.tar.xz when requesting the latest stable release… Unless ...

I took the Darude Sandstorm video player save from https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=37490 , and tried to migrate it to 1.1 from 0.14. To do so, I saved it in 0.15.40, then in 0.17.79, then in 1.0.0. Loading the resulting map in 1.0.0 works fine, but trying to load it in 1.1.33 (to perform...

I assume you use Windows. So check if your home network is marked as a private network, as the windows firewall might block access if you are connected to a “public” network. And check any firewall application you may have, those may block the network traffic. I assume you use the Steam version. Try...

It seems to work after loading the last successful autosave. I think this is 1/0 magic then…

Thanks for the report. Looking at the stack trace it's crashing at a place that should never crash unless there's some kind of memory corruption going on. Ok, I’ll just load the last auto-save then Do you have any way to reproduce the issue from a known working state? If not; there's nothing I can ...

The game started crashing during autosaving, I got a notification that the saving process died. I tried to manually save, and it crashed again. (I chose a new file name to not destroy my save file, in case it overwrites the map with partial data, so no total data loss on my side.) Then I turned on h...

You can break the cutscenes during the first part of the Arrival campaign, in which the biters spawn, go to ship wrecks and munch on them. This is probably a minor issue, but it looks odd nonetheless when happening. This happens only due to malicious intent, when you try to break the scenario. Steps...

Background: I did an NPE play-through to find some issues. I don’t know what exactly caused this. Compilatron approached the coal mine in the starting location, I think because I placed a chest collecting coal. (It seems if you do so, Compilatron sometimes approaches it to tell you that you can take...

I tried to join a vanilla multiplayer game, while I had some mods enabled. When the Game restarted after the mod sync process, the MP lobby server somehow returned an HTTP 404 error, causing the restarted game instance to get stuck without a GUI. I expected the game to either throw me back into the ...

TL;DR Allow using the "scroll up" and "scroll down" action (typically mapped to the mouse wheel) on closed drop down fields to switch between entries. What? When the mouse is placed on a closed drop down field, allow using the mouse wheel to switch the currently selected item. S...

(As you know) When opening a Mod with dependencies in the in-game Mod portal GUI, the GUI shows a button with a right arrow for each dependency. Those buttons can be used to open the respective mod in the GUI. I’ll call this button type “mod link button”. The bug report: The mod link button does not...

Things you may want to try: Run nvidia-smi in a terminal window on your secondary display. A simple way is running watch nvidia-smi Using watch has the advantage over using the repeat function built into nvidia-smi, that it won’t scroll the output arbitrarily. This’ll tell you if it is exhausted VRA...

"Item request slot" doesn't need an icon, and (unless I'm missing something) should be removed from the list of filter options.

I think this filter can be used to mass-remove modules or module requests (created when modules are included in blueprints) from buildings.

It has been some years since I programmed mixed TCP/UDP, but I also recall there are issues with TCP sending more and more until it causes packet loss […] Yeah, thats the TCP congestion control algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control). Many algorithms use packet loss as an i...

Probably too small payload for each transmitted packet. 660K/1800 ~ 320 bytes of payload per packet, i'm not sure they even using TCP for bulk data transfer, and I think they should. Its actually 1300 packages/s incoming, and 1800 packages/s sent. While downloading maps, Factorio sends more package...

The network code used to download multiplayer maps can be optimized, resulting in generally faster map downloads. Here in Germany, many ISPs offer highly asymmetric DSL lines, like 16MBit/s down, 0.5MBit/s up. Because the factorio network code uses about 4 times the number of packages in upload dire...

I think this is intentional. At least the early mock-ups, like shown in https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-246, already show those wide buttons. But under some circumstances, the text on other buttons gets truncated, while the large green button grabs most of the horizontal space available. This...

There are quite some different keyboard layouts out there … The scan code based approach looks reasonable. I use the german »neo2« layout, so my keyboard looks like this: http://neo-layout.org/grafik/druckvorlage/neo-druckvorlage.png (Ignore the bottom row. The image is a low resolution render of a ...

I hope that this will resolve itself when the renderer rewrite hits in 0.17. When only render deadlocks, then the game should therefore continue doing autosaves. Since that stopped (huge time diff in log without saves), I conclude it was the prepare step. If this happens again, would a full memory d...

This does not happen often and I have not found any reproduction steps. The steam version runs fine for days worth of play time, so its not that I can't play because of this. I thougth about it a bit more: It might be a lock in the graphics driver caused by some weird interactions between Factorio, ...
