Factorio Forums

I did a search in the forums and couldn't find anything exactly pertaining to what I'm experiencing.

I bought the game and the Mining Dril Operator upgrade to it, and installed just fine. However, when I first logged in, it said "could not connect, ssl connect error."

I closed and restarted the game, but now, instead of that, I can log in, but it says there is an update for Scenario pack 11.66 I click download and it gives me this;

Update failed:
Download failed (SSL connect error -- axTLS
recv error (-262))

Behind that, is the update dialog box;

Automatic updates
The following updates are available:
Mod|Installed|New version
scenario-pack|Not installed|0.11.66
Updating may take several minutes, please be patient :-)

If I need to give more information, please don't hesitate to tell me.

I'm pretty sure most of what is needed is there, but if I've missed something, please let me know.

There is now an updated version of scenario pack - do you still encounter this problem?

It is still occurring, sadly. Same SSL Connect Error. :c

Ok, have you used automatic updater for anything else except from the scenario pack? Do you use a firewall? Could you maybe experiment with giving it an exception for Factorio?

I had used the automatic updater to update to the latest version of the game, but it won't work for the scenario pack.

I have tried this by putting my connection, temporarily, on DMZ, and disabling the software firewall on my laptop, to no avail. I disabled the normal firewall on the router as well, with disabling my software firewall, with no change, sadly.

MY tip:
Uninstall (not disable) your virusscanner and check your date/time settings on your system.
