Factorio Forums

Factorio 0.16.x Experimental via Steam.

Haven't played in a while, since probably 0.15.20 or so.
Updated to 0.16.x.
Started the game.
Immediate popup after the logo screen, on top of the patch notes dialog, that says:

"Data error
Failed to load the player data file. Campaign
progress might be lost."

I closed Factorio and restarted and the dialog didn't appear a second time, so perhaps this is something that only happens the very first time you upgrade to 0.16.

The player data gets overwritten by new version so you won't get the error again.
Without having the original file with PlayerData, there is not much i can do.

I have a backup of my old player data. If you want it, I can give it to you. If you don't, that's okay too. Just figured I would offer.
