If there are reasons that factorio should be UDP when MAP DOWNLOADING, then give them. I've talked to other people who are computer savvy, who don't play this game, so they aren't bias, and even they think it's stupid to download files over the open internet with UDP. UDP is for LAN and streaming, n...

O_O @_@ *old movie scream* I was trying to play with my friend and it was working fine for awhile but today it was being really laggy. It's "working" but being very, very slow. So I wiresharked it again...and nearly VOMITED. Remember awhile ago when the game would crash because it would dr...

Someone built turrets around spawn to spawn camp anyone that joins. Please set a no build zone around the server spawn.

Please update to RSO 1.4.1.

I have updated to 12.5. Nothing has changed, it's still broken. I wonder why? -_-

It's not you, the game does not use the internet properly. I've posted a topic on this in bug reports, they are using the wrong internet protocol.

IDK why it stopped working now in 12.4, but its most definitely because UDP is being used incorrectly. Requesting the packets on UDP is useless and actually BAD, because they really don't even work on UDP so if a packet is actually dropped the requests are not at all able to recover it and just spam...

I am no longer able to play multiplayer anymore because it crashes (freezes) when downloading a multiplayer map from a server. I've tried using a network limiter to slow down the connection but it still crashes. From what I can see with Wireshark, the transfer starts normally and goes until the sent...

Yes, the game just utterly spams UDP packets until it jams up itself and everything else (confirmed this with Wireshark). This is an extremely bad bug that has rendered me incapable of playing multiplayer anymore. EDIT: The packet spam is from the client (when attempting to connect to a server, not ...

Every time I try to connect to a multiplayer world the world loads to a certain point then the game crashes. (It freezes and I have to end task) When it does this it takes out my internet. (can't even DNS resolve google). Yet the network usage stats say there is traffic, which might mean the crash c...

The title says most of it. So basically if you die your items scatter everywhere. If you get hit by a train then most likely you can recover everything. But if you run into a biter nest and die they will eat your stuff. At a certain stage in evolution they will even start eating stuff off your conve...

It's fine now. I fixed it. You just have to clean up the solar panels everywhere.

Someone thought it was a brilliant idea to take the main coal mine off of the coal train route. Now REALLY?! What did you think would happen? I smell either a troll or a noob, probably the ladder.

R.I.P Unfortunately, the monsters are gobbling up everything. There is nothing I can do, I was the only one online. The defense around the engines was way too poor, and we did not go to solar fast enough. They are evolving rapidly. And since they ate a lot of our grid, the mines went down, and it co...
