[0.17.4] Failed to load local achievement data when using mods
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:20 pm
Bug:
The game when modded does not save achievements. Not only does it one time not load achievements, but the game consistently will launch with this error and start with 0 achievements.
Message "Failed to load local achievement data. Local achievements might be lost." on game start.
Repo:
Enable a mod, any mod that disables achievements.
Copy the attached file 'achievements-modded.dat' (you'll need to unzip the .zip first) to your Factorio config folder (this came from my Factorio config folder. It seems to have last been modified by me 2017-04-19)
Start game and observe bug
I'm guessing you can also repro by last using mods in 0.14 of factorio, then slowly updating.
Fix:
Delete the achievements-modded.dat file from your %APPDATA%\Factorio folder
Notes:
I bet this will be a won't fix, since it has to do with loading old data. But I wanted it to be a tracked bug, and searchable by others. It took me a while to find which file was causing this issue.
