Mint is a solid choice, but can be somewhat problematic due to it still using X11 instead of Wayland. If this becomes an issue for you, then I'd recommend Fedora. Most of us at Wube use Fedora and it's pretty good.

Thanks for the report, this has been fixed for version 2.1.0.

This bug has actually existed for many years, even before the fluids rewrite, but nobody noticed it until now!

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, the crash appears to be within OpenGL itself, so there isn't really much I can do to help you. I suspect that Linux doesn't properly support your hardware.

The problem in my mod had to do with item health. For some reason, LuaInventory::can_insert is not taking item health into account and so is returning true even though the items cannot actually be inserted. I added a failsafe to work around this, but the API should also be fixed to account for all ...

It seems like this is happening on rolling-release distros, which makes me think it is going to become an issue for point-release distros in the near future.

I will look at it more in-depth next week.

Unfortunately, I don't really know how else to help you. Steam must be doing something strange and I can't reproduce this.

Your system installation of SDL2 won't make a difference because Factorio statically links SDL.

You can try doing SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/path/to/sdl2-compat.so bin/x64/factorio to force it to use your system installation and see if that makes a difference.

What distro are you running?

Nice

Thanks for the report, but I don't consider this to be a bug. When you remove an entity it runs some logic to push its fluid contents into neighboring entities so that you don't lose the fluid contents. Since this only happens when removing entities, I don't think it's important to prevent this when ...

This is fixed in 2.1 by way of SDL3.

[*]Removed Graphics backend user setting.


IMHO, such settings should stay (at least as hidden) for debugging purpouses.


Conversely, I support removing the setting because we have had issues with Windows players reporting poor GPU performance, and it turned out that they enabled the hidden ...

Thanks for the report, this has been fixed for 2.0.68.

Days since I broke production: 0.

For 2.1 I have prevented fusion generators from outputting plasma into fusion reactors, which fixes this issue.

SDL3 will default to pipewire, so I hope that it fixes the issue!

This appears to be some shenigans with SDL shutting down audio devices. Unfortunately, that means there isn't much I can do aside from hoping that updating SDL will fix the issue. SDL3 completely overhauls the audio API so perhaps it will have better behavior there.

For 2.1 I have entirely removed the "preferred screen" setting when running on Wayland. The window placement will be decided by the compositor.

For 2.0.67 I have also fixed it so that you can read all blueprint book properties while it is a preview. This was an oversight on my part when I was implementing LuaRecord.

Moved to technical help.

Please test the standalone version of the game from our website and see if it behaves differently. Also, please provide the contents of your factorio-current.log.
