[StrangePan][2.0.7] Crash when I try to manually save (macOS 10.16) (TrioWriteDouble)

[WolfWatermelon]

Hello, made a new save for space age, played a bit, tried to manually save (pressed escape then left clicked save) and the game crashed without saving.
Opened the game back, the autosave seems to work however I cannot saved manually as it crashes the game every time I left click the save button.

I'm playing on a macOS Sonoma 14.0. No mods are installed.

I've put my factorio log and the save file.

Any suggestions or ideas how to fix this issue ?
Thank you very much for the help

[Thelody]

Same.

Crashes as soon as the save button is pressed, even on a brand new map. Both space age enabled and disabled. No mods.

Hello, while I look into the issue, here are a couple things you can try to help me troubleshoot the issue and to workaround it so you can continue to play:

1. Does the game also crash when opening the Load Game menu? Main Menu > Load Game > [Crash]
2. If you back up and move your existing save files to a new location, does the crash still occur?

I also have this issue. I tried entirely deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/factorio folder, reinstalling the game, and restarting my computer, and I can still reproduce the issue by:
1) Opening up Factorio
2) Creating a new game
3) Immediately pressing esc and clicking the save game button. The game immediately crashes.

I noticed that the old saves are automatically copied over to the new ~/Library/Application Support/factorio folder from the Steam Cloud.

When I disabled the Steam Cloud save game feature and deleted ~/Library/Application Support/factorio, I now crash in the following situation. I've attached a log created after these steps.
1) Opening up Factorio
2) Creating a new game
3) Immediately pressing esc and clicking the save game button.
4) Going through the save dialog, and waiting for the game to partially save. The game crashes during the save.

---

The following do not cause a crash:
1) Opening up Factorio
2) Clicking the load game button

1) Opening up Factorio
2) Loading a save or creating a new game
3) Immediately pressing esc and clicking the load game button.

[gbear605]

Following up on my last message, I tried downloading the game directly from the Factorio website, deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/factorio folder, and the game still crashes with the steps of:

1) Opening up Factorio (skip past the "enter username and password" dialog)
2) Creating a new game (selected freeplay)
3) Immediately pressing esc and clicking the save game button.
4) Going through the save dialog, and waiting for the game to partially save. The game crashes during the save.

1. Does the game also crash when opening the Load Game menu? Main Menu > Load Game > [Crash]

Yes clicking loading the the Game from the Main menu also crash the game instantly after clicking the load button. Clicking the loading save from the in game menu does not crash the game.

2. If you back up and move your existing save files to a new location, does the crash still occur?

I don't know how to test this because how to load a save that is not from the "main" save file in the usual factorio . I don't see an option to browse my computer and chose a specific folder to load the save from.

My work around this issue by lowering the auto-save timer and just waiting for an auto-save before quitting.
The factory can grow for now

Same,

When I downloaded the update it showed a warning, something about "cant load archive" or something like that, and crushed when I tried to click load the game. Then I deleted all saves and disabled sync with the Steam cloud, it stopped showing the warning, and when I clicked save the first time showed the save dialog where I was able to enter the save name, but when I actually tried to save it crashed.

At the same time autosaves are working correctly...

[StrangePan]

Thank you all for the updates. I'm still actively working on this issue, but I've not yet identified a fix. For the time being, please continue to rely on autosaves to save and load your games. You can adjust the frequency and number of autosaves in settings.

Ref.: 116358

[chrisotherwise]

If you delete the saves directory, run factorio, then save, it will open the save dialog, allow you to name your save and the savefile will be created. Then the crash happens. The savefile seems fine and can be loaded without problems.

[WaylandSmith]

Confirming same behaviour in MacOS 14.1.1

Haven't been able to find a workaround other than just relying on autosaves.

This problem doesn't happen on my desktop iMac running Ventura 13.6.9.

I forgot to mention, the problem occurs on MacOs 14.2.1 (23C71)

If your Mac is using an older version of Sonoma, please try updating your operating system to the latest version of Sonoma (14.7) and report if the issue persists or is fixed.

I confirm that upgrading to Sonoma 14.7 fixes the problem for me.

Thank you very much for your rapid investigation of the problem!

[StrangePan]

In my attempts to reproduce this issue, it seems that even Apple no longer provides macOS Sonoma versions older than 14.4.1. Digging a bit into it, it seems Sonoma had a rocky launch with a lot of problems.

Since all reports in this thread appear to be coming from macOS Sonoma versions between 14.0 and 14.3.1, I'm going to recommend to first upgrade to macOS Sonoma 14.7 and, if the issue persists, post again to this thread and let me know. (And if the issue is fixed after upgrading, please post that too!)

I'm going to move this thread to pending until new information arises or I'm able to reproduce it on 14.4.1. If not, I'll close this as "won't fix".

[WaylandSmith]

I, myself, will be upgrading to 14.7 in order to work around this bug, but just a reminder, the original bug report is for MacOS 10.6 and there are reports of this bug appearing on other major OS releases, including those which are on EOL hardware that cannot upgrade to 14.4.1. If you go ahead with this plan to declare this bug "won't fix" you're effectively making a decision to abandon support for a large portion of MacOS users for a game that has historically had strong MacOS support. This would make Factorio 2.0 the update that abandoned their ability to play the game on the computer they own, after they purchased it! This really doesn't seem like Wube's way of doing things, and I encourage you to re-think this strategy, particularly since there has been all of 24 hours spent trying to fix it before potentially abandoning making a fix.

if you need help reproducing the bug on older OS releases, I can guarantee you will find eager Mac users with technical skills who would be happy to offer their time and skills in order to help others in their situation still be able to play the game.

All works after the update. THANKS!!!

The main issue is, this code did not change between 1.1 and 2.0, and the same code seems to work without issue on Linux and windows machines. The only thing that changed is the compiler version which should have no impact on if it works or not. That leaves only the operating system left as the likely culprit - something we have no control over.

Unless I’m missing something?
