[0.15.0] "Value must be a dictionary in property tree at ROOT.other"

[DoubleAW]

If you're using Steam, disable the Steam Cloud sync option. That fixed it for me.

[Vinyl_ScratchPlays]

Tell me how to do that? not a clue how to do it

[AllenJB]

Removing config.ini didn't work.

[DoubleAW]

Tell me how to do that? not a clue how to do it

Sure:

Steam > Settings > Cloud > uncheck the first one

[Vinyl_ScratchPlays]

Can confirm this does fix the issue

[DoubleAW]

Go to Steam > Settings > Cloud and uncheck the first option. That fixed it for me.

[Lorylei]

If you're using Steam, disable the Steam Cloud sync option. That fixed it for me.

Agree! That works like a charm! Thanks!

[Tyrindor]

Pretty sure the steam cloud is pulling our old config file, even if we delete it, so it's breaking it.

EDIT: Confirming, go to factorio properties in steam and unheck cloud sync under updates.

[ThunderWolf2100]

Go to Steam > Settings > Cloud and uncheck the first option. That fixed it for me.

This works

[ray4ever]

Worked for me too!

[Junion]

Fixed it for me too.

So looks like cloud saves have issues.

[markjn]

Go to Steam > Settings > Cloud and uncheck the first option. That fixed it for me.

Worked for me. Attaching my crash log in case it is helpful.

[n0tim3]

If you're using Steam, disable the Steam Cloud sync option. That fixed it for me.

works!

[illmaren]

So playing at "! Fun Gaming !" its on a root machine and stable as the game can be in this experimental build...

come play with us/me ;D

[Kelderek]

This disables cloud for all games, you can disable it for only factorio in the properties for the game on the Updates tab.

[Project Dark Fox]

Can confirm that disabling the Steam Cloud for Factorio has fixed it.

[StormTAG]

Cloud Sync fixed mine too.

[jonnyawsom3]

same problem as everyone else

[Durabys]

So..I have a variation of the same problem..but deactivating the Cloud options doesn't work for me.

Delete your entire factorio folder under appdata/roaming
