[2.0.20] Space Age Save Files Do Not Appear on Starting Screen

Post by GamesCodeFun »

Hi!
I loaded up Factorio Space Age today, and downloaded the 2.0.20 update using autoupdate on steam, and none of my save files are listed, with the exception of a few pre 1.0 files from 6 years ago. The last time I played was yesterday.

A few more details:
* I'm running the linux version of factorio; "2.0.20 (Build 80511 expansion, linux64)"
* All of my save files still appear to be in "~/.factorio/saves", and non have been modified since I played yesterday
* I'm not signed up for/used beta releases.

I've attached log files and my latest save file that does not appear (Space Age 2.4.zip) to this post.

Thank you for your time & help.

Since you are on linux I wonder if this could be caused by the fix for 120128 perhaps?

Certainly possible.

I'm running a relatively stock version of steam & Ubuntu, and everything ran well before. What's weird is that the factorio application "sees" the old saves, but nothing I've done this year. This PC is a new OS build (this year), so those older saves must have come from steam's cloudsave.

The attached file is a space age save that is not displaying, not one of the 6 year old ones that is visible. (oddly, I can't find the 6 year old files in "~/.factorio/saves")

Interestingly, The 6 year old files can be found in "~/snap/steam/common/.factorio/saves", so maybe it's getting it's files from the wrong place?

Attaching logfiles from inside the snap folder to this post.

The logfiles from the /.factorio/ folder in the original post seem to show the last time I ran using 2.0.15, but these logfiles show me running 2.0.20, to they're probably the newest context that's running the game.

I am also having this problem, I can't see my Space Age saves in game after steam updated Factorio to 2.0.20, and can only see my pre-Space Age (1.1.11) saves.
I can see all the saves in the ~/.factorio/saves folder, and I don't have any saves in ~/snap/steam/common/.factorio/saves folder like op.

Investigating the different log files, The /home/csmerz/.factorio/ log file (from the original post) shows :

Code: Select all

Write data path: /home/csmerz/.factorio [869220/901050MB]
But in the /home/csmerz/snap/steam/common/.factorio/ log (in the latter post), it shows:

Code: Select all

Write data path: /home/csmerz/snap/steam/common/.factorio [849305/900785MB]
The config path from each log is listed in each log as:

Code: Select all

Config path: /home/csmerz/.factorio/config/config.ini
so both versions of the game we're getting to the right place for the config file, which suggests that

Code: Select all

write-data=__PATH__executable__/../..
in config.ini might be getting interpreted differently in each version of the game? Or maybe something is changing on the steam side of things that I don't understand...?
