Factorio is the real world, right?

Pick a wagon, place it on rails connecting to a locomotive. Gamefreze. Alt + Ctrl + Del -> End Task (Or windows kills it by 30 second timeout).

Win, x64.

Unplayable

Bugreport with a save file incoming.

You're right, but there is a way around that (Win7, x64).

The game only seems to freeze when the "ghost" of a train part you want to place connects/overlaps with the same part that's already placed. You can still place trains by making sure you only have one of whatever you want to place in your inventory and then place it. For multiple cargo wagons on the same train, place them disconnected from each other and then manually connect them.

It's a bit of a hassle to make it work, but at least you can continue playing this way.

Win x64, no crash. Works fine for me.
It freeze when wagons overlap.

So what crashes the game is hovering the second wagon, not placing the first one ?

Game is unplayable ... rolling back to 11.11

it freezes for me when i place a locomotive, anywhere. tried thrice.

why do we need Service Pack 1 on win7 all of a sudden? I've not seen any game, even big AAA games, to require the SP1 on win7?

Yup. The freeze occurs when you hover wagon over wagon. Though I've managed to assemble train moving my mouse carefully.

I'm also getting the carriage bug, however, I am unable to place a carriage at all, But this may be becasue I have more than 1 in my inventory, i.e. when I place one the other becomes immediately available and overlaps the one I just placed, causing it to cash

I updated, put new tracks down and dropped a train down and the game immediately locked up. I had to crash the game to get out of it and reboot the game.

Wasn't 0.11.11 -> 0.11.12 supposed to fix the UAC (i user account control? the popup saying it needs admin)

Only the zip version.

Exe UAC and then crash is still an open bug.

wait... so it's "fixed" in the zip version, cause that's what i have...

I guess it's fixed in the updater that comes with 0.11.11 _ ZIP?
Is that the version you were running?

Does the updater even update itself at all?

For me it just the game froze completely when I selected a wagon, even before placing it, hope this gets fixed soon...

Other question: I just updated last week from 0.10.x to 0.11.x, and had to spend half an hour to get all mods working again due to changed naming conventions and stuff. Are there plans to provide something like an online content system (as OpenTTD has for exampe) to download mods from instead of having to dig them up from the forum?

I was able to place a loco, but the game crashed as soon as i selected the 2 wagons in my inventory.

What's with the "factorio won't run without win7's service pack 1"?

its a good question, and I'd like to know the answer to it too, because my windows 7 laptop won't upgrade to SP1, I've tried, it just fails.

I just checked, and the fix was added in 0.11.11 and supposed to fix for the update to 0.11.12 and every one after it...

and i was running 0.11.11 and i updated to 0.11.12 >.>

I got the same problem with my desktop PC. I am trying since yesterday to get SP1 to install
