[0.17.17] Dedicated Server no longer shutting down
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2019 10:26 am
Hi,
TLDR:
- Server keeps running after "/quit" and only saves+unloads the map, no way to stop except SIGINT.
Long:
I have an automatic update checker and installer, which (upon finding an update) automatically closes any running Factorio Server on my Server Machine (Windows Server 2012). Until 0.16 the Server would save and exit when sending the "/quit" command to the server.
But since 0.17 (don't the exact update, but 0.17.17 is affected) the Server no longer exits, but only saves the World and unloads it.
After that the Server is in a state in which no longer accepts any clients or commands. Only way to close is SIGINT, which is a fairly bad way since it usually involves a human interacting with a console window. But when the normally the server is started without any console window.
Greetings
