Just updated from 17.17 to 17.56 -- I am getting a crash when, I am traveling by train, I open menu for the train I'm on, I attempt to switch from automatic to manual, BLAM. It blows up. Just me? Could provide my save if you are interested. Not using any train mods...

Post the log?

Err, played after repeating the bug several times. I should be able to reproduce it, where would I find log? Is the file name just a date/time stamp?

Edit: Ahh, it is the "factorio-current.log" -- so I should crash it and then post that file?

Upon a crash, normally the game will tell you to do exactly that.

Thanks for the report. As others have said: without the necessary files the game says to include when reporting crashes there's nothing we can do.

Okay, I read the dialog error message more carefully this time. Here is the log file directly after a crash. Very repeatable, but obviously it might be my computer and not the game per se. Tried uploading the save here but it seemed to fail -- it is a fairly large save 75Mb.

0.001 2019-07-16 08:35:42; Factorio 0.17.46 (build 45521, win64, alpha)

Update the game...

Oh weird. I had updated the game before playing and just assumed it updated to 17.56, but apparently it didn't. Okay, will update again and see if the issue is still there.

Updating to 17.58 did resolve this. Apologies for the confusion.

Edit: Here it was...

Version 0.17.47

Bugfixes

Fixed that the game crashed when passing train signal while driving train in manual mode.

Glad it's fixed.
