I can understand others don't have this issue, but it's definitely a combination of something with Factorio since other applications don't have the issue. So I'm fine with you writing it off as wontfix until more people report it, but don't pretend it's a driver thing when my devices and other softw...

... and it just so happens that no other application ever has this issue.

Same again tonight, while playing multiplayer. I don't want to attach the full log because it contains stuff like auth tokens, IP addresses and local paths. If you need this info, I can send it privately, but not on a public forum. Last part of the log: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid ...

Only a few people seemed to be using it. After the Factorio people changed the API, I didn't bother updating the website. They changed it in a way that you can only see details by querying for each server individually, which would be a lot of traffic for the Factorio server. That's a secondary reaso...

I appreciate you guys not asking and pleading for nominations. I mean, the intention was clear, but you nonetheless clearly said "be sure to vote for your favorite games" and you did not say "vote for usss!!" So I did :) https://i.snag.gy/lAQK9W.jpg It's annoying that two other g...

You forgot to mention a change: many fields are no longer reported for each game in `/get-games`. It might be understandable for short-term bandwidth improvements, but it makes no sense in the long run. - It would require me (or anyone else that hosts a server browser) to query each game id individu...

From what I understood of that site, admins have to register their server first. So it's not an accurate list of which servers are online, it's a place to advertise your server. They also show you ads. They do get server info from the Factorio API I guess, else it wouldn't be able to show how many p...

Okay I am not 100% certain anymore it's the game_secret that's the problem nor that the fault lays in the verification at all. Anyway, I tested some more, here are logs: Connecting via --mp-connect IP:port 0.000 2016-10-08 11:25:47; Factorio 0.14.13 (build 25020, linux64, alpha) 0.424 Operating syst...

If you know him so well, why not keep an eye out so you can take a screenshot to prove it? For me at least, the way you say it makes me doubt you.

make a mod-download-list for each server easily install mods for players. Not 100% sure what you mean but I just made a link next to each server's mods to download all the mods for that server. Is that what you meant? This is great, luc. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this...

I just noticed the download page mentions nothing about this:

The conclusion is to disable multiplayer in 32 bit version right away (0.14.10)

You might want to note on the experimental downloads page that 32-bit is singleplayer only.

Okay, thanks!

Thanks for the answer. Still I wonder, what prevents anyone from doing system calls? I don't know much about Lua, but for example in PHP shared webhosts disable functions like `shell_exec()`. Are similar policies set for Lua (functions disabled by name), or is there another method of limiting what m...

I'm sure an admin or moderator will respond with the answer to your question, but personally, I don't care much about such names (and I'm not aware of any policy regarding them). it's not as if they are being offensive specifically towards you. In many cases, they're 13-year-olds trying to be as obn...

How safe is it to install mods from an untrusted source? I read elsewhere that you can't make a mod to display the current (real world, not game world) time because it can't do system calls or something like that, but what can it do? As far as I know, Lua is a proper programming/scripting language, ...

I tested some more with a local server. Even when connecting over LAN, the game can do user verification via the auth system. This is visible in the logs: 252.343 Joining game 192.168.56.1:34197 252.344 Info PosixUDPSocket.cpp:50: Opening socket at port 0 252.344 Info ClientMultiplayerManager.cpp:53...

No. I'm not sure I'm explaining it clearly. The problem is that players cannot connect via the command line to servers that have user verification turned on. The server wants to know that I am really "luc" and requires verification. This is a feature built in since 0.13 and is turned on fo...

I tried yesterday with 0.13.20 (3 servers), 0.14.5 (1 server) and 0.14.12 (2 servers). Only from 0.14.10 onwards does the require_user_verification flag work in the API data, so I cannot tell whether older servers have it turned on. However, for 0.14.12 there was only one server that had it disabled...
