The setup:

Windows 10
Factorio 12.10, set up to run as headless MP server. ZIP file installation, 64 bit version. Installed to D: drive.

Server is started via batch file and uses --start-server MyMPGame.zip parameter.

Server loads the game just fine, and it autosaves just fine, but it never writes back to the main save game file (MyMPGame.zip). So every time the server is shutdown (via Ctrl+C in the server console window), you have to go dig up the last _autosave-*.zip. This results in a rollback of the game state and is generally inconvenient.

The thread at https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 33&t=14666 seems to have the same problem.

Edit #1: Connecting to the server and running /c game.server_save() works great to write to the main file. So it's just not triggering the save on Ctrl+C or shutdown.
Edit #2: Added installation details and location of game.
Edit #3: Log file from most recent shutdown:

Can't reproduce. Started a server on Windows 10, connected to it, made a few changes, disconnected and killed the server by pressing Control-C. Then started the server again, connected and my changes were there, as they should.

It is apparently intermittent. I just did another round of restarts and it wrote the save properly. Not sure what caused it to not write the save before...

Be aware that pressing Control-C twice will make it terminate immediately, without saving anything. Is that perhaps what you're doing?
