1.1.25 - Deleting factorio.pdb file breaks upgrading.

Post by KindOne »

1, Delete factorio.pdb (Yes, I know what its used for and that I should not delete.)
2, Start factorio (1.1.25 for me)
3, Click "About".
4, Click "Check for updates"
5, Click "Update now"
6, Wait...

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
copy_file "C:/Users/User/Desktop/factorio_0.18/bin/x64/Factorio.pdb" to "C:/Users/User/Desktop/factorio_0.18/temp/Factorio.pdb" failed: The system cannot find the file specified.

path2: C:\Users\User\Desktop\factorio_0.18\temp\Factorio.pdb

Factorio.pdb is useful for game crash report, just keep it

Assuming you're deleting it for space... does it also crash if you replace it with a 0 byte file?
