*If the problem doesn't go away.

He should try option 1. It's basically an in-place Windows reinstall. He won't lose any apps or data.

The packet fragmentation implementation might also fix this one and similar if it's implemented for the whole game instead of just the connection process.

Sounds similar to these bug reports.

Attach your factorio-current.log after you've gotten the error. It helps the devs a lot.

ntoskrnl.exe is actually a pretty important part of the NT kernel. Have him open an admin command prompt and run the below and then see if the problem disappears after a reboot. sfc /scannow sfc = system file checker /scannow will scan the os install. If it doesn't disappear then try ONE of these. S...

Sometime soon-ish. 0.14 is pretty much only the networking overhaul and I believe 0.15 is HD textures. Probably either 0.14 or 0.15 will be pronounced version 1.0 eventually as well. The Fact-Fridays are super informative. Here's the source for the above https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-151 .

This would be really cool with a massive biter overhaul.
Just think that the strongholds might get bigger and more fortified (walls and maybe a worker unit) as the evolution factor increases.

Fewer biter bases but they are more significant to destroy.

My ideas might be better for a mod.

I skimmed over the thread so forgive me if I missed it but I don't see what version of the game you're running. The network update in 0.14 really changed how the game copes with imperfect networks and lowers bandwidth requirements overall. If you're not on 0.14 (maybe because of mods being outdated)...

However, with an application such as a game server, it is not standard practice to bind on all addresses. I cannot actually think of an instance where that is a standard procedure, outside of a badly configured Apache instance. Here's a few that I've had the pleasure of hosting. All Paradox games t...

This becomes revalent when one is trying to host factorio in a more controlled environment. While it's not required for the game to work, most other online games either allow only binding to a single IP (commonly set through config or ini file) or do so by default. I really enjoy that factorio binds...

Hey @Rseding91 Hows the multithreaded update massive overhaul coming along? @OP, You can take a look at the F5 debug panel. The timings on the left are in ms. If entity update is taking too long there's not much you can do. If it's something else then feel free to post it. The debug panel will show ...

Entity update is very, very, very much too long. There are about 2.2 million entities with 40k needing updating across almost 4 million connectors. I'm not surprised at all that the game is performing that poorly. The threaded optimizations that are in the works should really help this map since it'...

Get into the game and press F5 (it might be F4) to bring up the debug stats and post a screenshot here please.
They look like some white text with numbers on the right.

Oh here's an idea. The build queue is on the left correct? so put the one-time-request queue on the right between the armor/weapons and the toolbelt. This makes a very explicit visual separation and should prevent one queue's resizing from affecting the other's position (the same problem as the left...

Should this be moved to fixed?

Then just make one. Right click on somewhere click new then shortcut. Type in the same app data jazz I'm thinking more along the lines of the below. (Windows -- from the chosen install directory) mklink /J factorio_appdata %appdata%\Factorio (Linux -- must use full paths) ln -s /usr/lib/Factorio ~/...

Does it only affect Factorio?

What version? This is kind of normal in 0.13 if a player has any kind of packet loss (1% is too much).

I couldn't find a config file, so how should I download the drivers? Drivers for AMD cards can be found at http://support.amd.com/en-us/download . I recommend the "Automatically Detect and Install" blue-ish box unless you know exactly which card you have. The path orzelek gave for the con...

What do the log files say? Somewhere near the bottom it should talk about clients switching from one game-state to another. It sounds like they're getting stuck in a particular state (I have no idea how factorio works). If you could put all this information together it might be enough for a bug repo...
