Launching game from steam results in an immediate crash.

Presents a dialog with a message:
Unexpected error occurred. If you're running the latest version of the game you can help us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums. Please also include the save file(s), any mods you may be using, and any steps you know of to reproduce the crash.

Actions taken so far:
1. reinstalled factorio from steam
2. removed all $home/.factorio contents
3. reinstalled steam apt purge steam-launcher && apt autoremove && apt install steam_latest.deb --install-recommends
4. reinstalled steam from snap store
5. tried disabling steam overlay
6. tried out different factorio versions
7. tried running demo version

Demo works!

Does not produce a factorio log entry. After crashing $home/.factorio contains only saves/steam_autocloud.vdf with accId.

My suspicion is that the issue arose when steam update was applied which introduced recording.
The fact that ${home}/.factorio directory gets created indicates me that the factorio process does start. Although it may seem that steam fails to launch it.

Attaching steam console log:

Is there a possibility that steam is killing the child process - the game itself?

[zhaoweny]

I think I have the same issue.

step for reproduce: with my dirty setup of Arch Linux, start steam and click launch from steam
expected behavior: game launches
actual behavior:
* there's no sign of game launching, steam would flip back to launch after a short duration
* in the system journal I'd have identical log from steam as OP posted (see attachment)
* I captured a strace log (see attachment) but it does not provide more information for me

method tried to trouble shoot:
* I tried to setup a Arch Linux VM with libvirt, installed Steam and Factorio, the game launches as expected
* I tried removing local Steam install and re-install steam via steam built-in downloader, the game still crashes on launch
* I tried different factorio version, 2.0.15, 2.0.14, 1.1.110 (without DLC) the issue presists

edit: more attempt of troubleshooting:
* I downloaded standalone version of factorio from website, launch it from command line, the game works as expected
* I updated to beta channel of steam, then launch factorio with that, the issue presists

These crashes are so early in factorio start process, it's not even able to write a log file. So it's very likely that something is wrong with your system. You can try to disable the steam overlay, verify game files and ensure you're not using the windows compatibility mode.

[vinzenz]

The new steam client also added a new linux runtime. You can try to disable it by launching steam with a flag. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app ... 5692571024

Note that this new feature can be turned off globally with "-compat-force-slr off" on the Steam client command line.

[zhaoweny]

I tried `-compat-force-slr off` and it works! With that option factorio can load correctly and landed me on main menu.

I wonder what's the root cause of this behavior ...

Running steam with "-compat-force-slr off"did resolve the issue.

Thank you.

[vinzenz]

That's great to hear! You can report these issue to Valve here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues

We'll look into disabling this runtime by default.

[zhaoweny]

May I ask that is Factorio for steam compiled with any steam linux runtime SDK? Valve documents that these "steam linux runtime" needs specific "steamrt-dev" etc to work. From the linked document below, I think factorio needs to be compiled with specified runtime sdk to work in specific runtime, which also makes factorio would gain a container like runtime environment and works across many distros (older and newer).

Introduction to the Steam container runtime framework
steam runtime SDK

btw I tried to force steam to use different linux runtime via (steam) game properties -> compatibility tools, but that also does not do anything - the issue presists.

[zhaoweny]

I reinstalled my physical archlinux machine, then installs steam and factorio, in hope that re-install would solve this problem - but it doesn't.

based on this link I modifies launch option to:

Code: Select all

steam-runtime-launch-options -- %command%

which brings up a configuration UI. based on my test results, containerlized runtime does not work for Factorio (set container runtime to None can work). Since Arch Linux VM works and physical machine don't work, I guess it's also related to the graphics stack.

Edit: I made this issue on GitHub

[zhaoweny]

I think I have made some progress about this issue.

My linux user account is systemd-homed managed btrfs subvolume and mounted to /home/zhaow at login. When I switched to a normal user, Factorio works fine. When I'm using homed-managed user, and not using Steam Linux Runtime, Factorio works fine. It's only when I'm using homed-managed user + steam linux runtime, Factorio would crash.

I downloaded steam runtime SDK and attached gdb to Factorio executable, I got SIGSEGV and this backtrace:

The issue is that Factorio is not respecting $HOME.

...and systemd breaking getpwuid for no reason

My apologies, for my unusual setup. I was experimenting with systemd-homed a long time ago and put too much thought into /home/user portability at the time.

Most Linux users would use normal user (non homed managed), which works by reading `getpwuid`.

P.S. It would be nice if OP can confirm the issue is actually same, and verify the fix when it's ready.

[raiguard]

Thanks for the reports, this has been fixed for the next release. However, as I am on vacation in Japan at the moment, I am unable to actually reproduce this bug and test if the fix works, so I would ask those who are affected to test the next version and report if the issue has been fixed.

[stagdancer]

Yep, 2.0.20 fixed it for me. Thanks!

[justaduuuude]

I am getting this crash even on 2.0.20. After some testing it appears that removing MangoHud (which was originally being applied with "MANGOHUD=1" in Steam args) fixes the problem. I have been using MangoHud to cap my fps and it hasn't been an issue up until now. Here is my log for reference:
