Public server list



Notice pyhightech. I can sometimes fix this by restarting the server. Sometimes it displays correctly, sometimes it says the mod is old. When I try to join the game, it says the mod versions don't match, even though in reality they do match.

Additionally another user in the discord server-setup-help saw something similiar with the hours played on a map.

As I was typing this I hit refresh again and the problem went away.



These pictures were taken within minutes of each other. The problem keeps coming and going.

I was seeing the same with the server name, playtime and it was showing me as playing when I wasn't.
The problem has finally gone away after ~12 hours. The server itself was offline for ~8-10hours

I don't see this anymore either :shrug:

I've also experienced weirdness with server displays:

I wonder if it's related to Factorio game servers run on server farms or VMs that are less-than-perfectly setup, or just needing a better purge setting on Factorio's side.

Thanks for the report. This is how the server list works: it caches the information and if a server just dies or is killed without going through the proper steps the list has no way to know it doesn't exist anymore. When a server is created or updated it takes some time for the list to update and so you may see outdated information until that happens.
