THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFORTS ON KEEPING GAME ALIVE and FUN

Those links are not public so i cannot attempt at fixing those save files for you. It looks like for some reason the script replace logic is not working for you which was supposed to replace the control.lua inside of your save file with a new one.

I can fix those save files if available or you can start new fresh game and save it, and open this new save file as a zip file to get control.lua and freeplay.lua files which you should be able to extract and put them into your previous save files that are failing to get script replaced.

I have done what Boskid described and copied these two files from one of my saves, hope it works for you: https://mega.nz/folder/5MgyiYxY#DrL6wfvLfHAOPi_YxD3Wow

I've not tested the saves, the save where I copied these files is heavilly modded, but I have opened the files and it doesn't seem to include any modding reference so I assume they will work.

the maps """ARE NOT HEAVLLY""" i only use 2 mods is history os factorio and in my computer!!!!
They are TRAIN STATION AUTO REFULLING and another mini mod. and this saves have those mods removed from version 1.1

Hello DEVs maybe this help you solving my problem. The error is because an (CREATED CUSTOM MAP) .

Your scenario uses freeplay.lua and control.lua files that are from 1.1. If you want those scenarios to work in 2.0 you need to update both of those files as they are not compatible with 2.0.

And I thought that this was supposed to happen automatically:

If this isn't happening (even in some cases), it's still an issue.

I also note that the original poster was using a sandbox save in one case:

as sandbox.lua is named appropriately for the depreciated sandbox scenario and isn't part of a normal freeplay game.
I recommend (as a temporary solution for the original poster) that you create a new freeplay game and run the /editor command (the replacement for the depreciated sandbox scenario) to activate editor mode. You can also use /cheat if you prefer.

The problem appears to be that the script in save games created using the sandbox scenario isn't being properly updated to the 2.0 freeplay script.

It was a mistake to ever allow level to contain a scripts inside and this is what we get. I guess many MP servers with soft-modded content would not be possible without this so maybe lets not kill this feature completly.

When script is forced to update, it is level's control file that gets replaced from the matching scenario provided by one of the mods. If a scenario (the source) contains faulty scripting, all bets are off.

There are 2 cases that are different and need to be properly told apart: save file will have its script updated from matching scenario. Scenario will not get its script updated because it is the source.

If save file would never be allowed to hold its own local copy of scripting, at all times you would need to have a mod enabled that provides scripting for that scenario and a save file would not load without that mod. This would save us all the issues related to save having an outdated scripting that was not replaced because source scenario is not provided. With scenarios themselves, if script is outdated then it is the fault of a scenario author to not update the scripts.

Aren't the devs the creator of the base game sandbox scenario, therefore implicating yourselves as the issue?

Just because a scenario is called "sandbox" does not mean it is `base/sandbox`. Once you create a custom scenario based on one of existing scenarios, now that is an independent copy of the scenario that is now maintained by you including its scripting. Custom scenarios can have their own custom logic and if we would ever replace those scripts, the custom logic would be gone. So now the question is: what would be the purpose of having custom scenarios if they get their scripting replaced from a base scenario?

None. I would like to note, that the devs are at fault for not updating the base game sandbox scenario and for actively discontinuing it.
Sandbox scenarios from other mods are not at fault as not only are they likely to update, but we aren't sure weather the original poster was using their sandbox scenarios or not (you could also use that as a reason for the devs not being at fault, but it's most likely that the original poster was using the base game scenario - I mean, they were using 1.1.x when they created that game and they likely didn't want to install a mod to create a sandbox scenario which was going to be mostly the same as the base game one)

As far as i know, sandbox scenario is back so your argument is faulty.

Ah. I guess I wasn't notified of that re-addition.

HOW I DO TATH ?????
i created this maps in "MAP EDITOR"--"NEW SCENARIO"
the only cheat code i used it was
"/c local radius=5000
game.player.force.chart(game.player.surface, {{x = -radius, y = -radius}, {x = radius, y = radius}})"
THEM i clean all enteties..... an build an start infinity box
and the map is not for ONLINE mode. it was just for me for my EXPERIMENTS

In the directory related to your scenario (that you packaged into the rar file to send here) you delete existing control.lua and freeplay.lua files and put new files (you can extract them from one of existing working 2.0 save files)

i did tath, and IT WORKS!!!!! all my saves are saved...lol i did not touch in save files, only cenarios.
i have saved all saves to the last version of factorio....THANK YOU FOR THE HELP........
one question, if i delete the CREATED CENARIOS, my save files will keep working????...
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Scenarios are separate from save files - the control scripting (which could be none) is stored in the save file. However, if the scenario is updated, (like with freeplay's 2.0 update) existing save files will gain the new control scripting from the update. However, since you created a new scenario (a duplicate of the freeplay scenario for 1.1) and didn't update the script to work with 2.0 (using the freeplay script for 2.0 instead of the 1.1 equivelent) the save game couldn't load. This makes it not an issue, but user error (though, pretty understandable user error)
