Headless WinServer2012 Crash on load (SteamCMD)

[Blackraz0r]

Hey Mates,

when i try to download the experimental release via SteamCMD, i got some funny behavior from the headless server.
I run my Server on a Root-Server, WinSRV_2012_x64

When I dl the experimental from the Website, i dont have any problems, but when i do via SteamCMD.
Factorio tries to load the map from the "\bin\x64" directory.

so i tried it both.
My Batches are the same for both installations. The Website-one and the SteamCMD-one

cd steam

cd de\bin\x64\

Press any key to continue . . .

So you see the last three lines of the log?
it is looking for the map/save in the "\bin\x64" folder of the game instead of the "\saves" folder of the game.
why does factorio do this?

And if i download the game from the website, and simply delete everything except the save,config, and server-settings files, then it works like a charm with the same batch. (an extra one with the same text for server w/o SteamCMD)

Wierd. ^^

Would be awesome if we can fix this, so i never had to update manually again. ^^

Oh and if i unzip the save in the x64 folder, it works also.
so how to teach factorio to use the save folder again, and not the one of the executrive?

I see no crash in your log. Did you post the correct log?

As for loading the incorrect file, what's in your C:/Users/Blackraz0r/AppData/Roaming/Factorio? Is that somehow symlinked to C:/Games/Factorio-Server_TEST/de/bin or something like that?

[Blackraz0r]

Yeah, i found out right now that SteamCmd pulls a config-path.cfg everytime from the steambuild
problem is that this cfg tells the server to look for the save files in the %appdata% directory.

so i build in something like

cd de
copy /y config-path_BKP.cfg config-path.cfg
cd ..

so i have a copy of the "right" config" that would be overwritten everytime the server starts to enshure the server is picking the right directory.

so its maybe not a bug but simply a feature. ^^
