Hello,

a few days ago, someone asked, why his game won't load anymore. He also told me the error message, and today I wanted to start Factorio but then this:

Code: Select all

<unspecified file>(1): '=' character not found in line

This happens when I open the Factorio.lnk in my start menu and even the Factorio.exe in the game files gives that error.

I don't know where it comes from, I just changed the F-mod version manually (editing info.json and renaming the .zip package) to test a new build of the F-mod but before that, everything worked fine.

Oh, I just found out that the config.ini (that config file in the config directory) was completely empty.
Deleting it let the game start up normally.

Yes, the fact that the error didn't contain the file name makes solving these problem harder, so I made a fix, that the error contain information about the file so it should be easier to solve next time.

(Fixed for 0.11.21.)
