ROFL, this is exactly what I was thinking.
thanks Mate! this sorted the issue out!! now i can collect all those conveyor belts stretching across the mapRedFury wrote:It's not about placing the storage wagon, it's hovering it over an existing one, before you place it.
If you have more than one wagon in you inventory, the first one gets placed, then the second one hover over the placed one... and you have your crash (endless loop)
As long as you have only one wagon in you inventory at a time and you place it at the end of existing trains, not trying to hover over (mouse over) any other placed trains or wagons, while holding one in your hand, you can place them without any crashes ...
been though all of this. I installed the updates fix. I tried installing the SP1 from windows update, or from a downloaded ISO, nothing works, even after installing the update fix.RedFury wrote:I had the same problem with Win7 SP1 not installing ...
After a bit of googling I found the "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821)"
You find it directly at the microsoft download center. After this tool installs (it's 500mb+) it should allow all other updates to install normally. But you have to tell windows update to install them :S
I myself have SP1 only since yesterday, because it failed to install all the time (with 10+ more updates that failed).
I have played factorio after the install so i can confirm this worked. But i haven't tried placing any trains yet.
Apparently updates not installing on windows 7 is enough of a thing that Microsoft made a fix especially for it!

I tried to get it to work for over 10 hours (and I'd like to say that I am a pretty experienced user when it comes to things like that). I finally got it to run when I "upgraded" Win7 from the original DVD after a clean boot (a bit like booting in safe mode). There is an option for that if you insert the disc and start Setup. What it does is mainly reinstalling Windows, but keeping all your programs and settings. It took a lot longer than a standard Win7 installation, but i really didn't want to lose all my stuff and settings - it would have taken forever to reconfigure everything, and my system runs pretty well for a few years now.bobingabout wrote:been though all of this.

Why do we specifically need SP1 on Windows 7 to run Factorio anyway? In many cases the SPs are optional, and unpatched operating systems are still "Supported".
This isn't really an issue for me personally anyway, I don't play factorio on the laptop in question, everything else is SP1.
