Mod downloads failing

Post by Xorimuth »

It looks like the mod portal has had some issues this evening, mod downloads are failing with the message “Install failed for [modname]: Download failed:”. I had this error ingame and others have been reporting it on the factorio discord. I’m afraid I can’t upload a log file right now, hopefully others are able to.

Some people are also reporting the game crashing when this error occurs whilst syncing mods with a server. I haven’t had this so I don’t have a log file with the error.

There are more 404 errors than usual on our CDN but they're still at a very low rate. The logfile or some timestamps + modnames would be great to look into it in more detail.

Looks like the game failing to handle this case (the 'crashes') is fixed now: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=103386
I haven't had any download problems today. The only name I remember for sure from yesterday was https://mods.factorio.com/mod/progressi ... multiplier, which was failing ~30 hours ago, but then started working.

Thanks for the details everyone. I've reproduced the issue and I'm working on a fix with our CDN provider.
