Update:
The nuking and re-building approach worked. Make sure to copy the server-settings.json though.
Unsatisfactory, but I guess that's sometimes the solution.

Cannot load base mod version 2.0.72 with game version 2.0.73. Update probably failed, please download the game again.

Sounds to me like the game got corrupted during update and asks you to reinstall.

... again Factorio Forum,
a few days have passed, and I still could not get the upgrade to work. Luckily I still had a backup of the LXC before the update, which I've rolled back to, and tried updating again.

This time I changed the rsync command to a simple cp -r, and logged the verbose output of ...

Hello Factorio Forums,
I have trouble upgrading my headless server to 2.0.73. The last two stable upgrades worked like a charm, no problems there.
The server is running Debian 12, kernel 6.17.4.

To update the server, located at /opt/factorio , I performed the following steps:

mkdir /opt/tmp
wget -vO ...

Update: Tried the exact same setup on another machine and it ran flawlessly. It's just as you've said that it's most likely a hardware issue rather than something wrong with the Factorio engine.

To give an update; after extensive memory testing and voltage adjustments, I think I got everything fairly stable. Now running at 5200 mhz on the memory which it was designed for. Server has been running with no crashes. I learned some lessons on my build too and going to go forward with ECC memory in ...

Good afternoon,

I am having a server crash as of the latest patch and associated updated mods. Log files in attachments.

Seems like the same thing happened with the Space Age download. Something must've gone amiss.

There should be an update 2.0.55 to 2.0.57, my guess is that it is missing for non headless linux or just gog in general.

What did you do?
Updated headless server to 2.0.60
Started headless server on a Debian 6.1.128-1 server. 3 players join and start playing, between 20 - 40 mins later the modal "Server has left the game" appears and all players are kicked.

What happened?
The instance of the server stopped.

What ...

I have made available an update package that goes from 2.0.55 directly to 2.0.57, and verified it works with factorio-updater, so there shouldn't be any more problems.

Was able to update with https://old.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... 6/myn0m87/

The problem is I'm on 2.0.56

Probably because the the 2.0.56 package was malformed and they pulled it from the release channel. You'll have to manually update to 2.0.57 from whatever version you are on now.

I've been using https://github.com/narc0tiq/factorio-updater to update my server without much issue. However, upgrading to 2.0.57 is failing.
