[bombe]

Hi,

I got some problem
yesterday there were uptade 0.16.17.
I was playing on my server heberged by nitrado and now, i cant play
Its said : Couldn't establish network communication with server.

I tried everything, uninstalle factorio, reinstal it.
I changed to stable version, and stable worked.
But i want to play on experimental 0.16.X

Please, have you got solution ?

This this the serveur log

Check it:

Code: Select all

0.368 Error ServerMultiplayerManager.cpp:95: MultiplayerManager failed: "Map version 0.12.35-0 cannot be loaded because it's lower than the minimum input version"

This gives us one of two possible causes: Either the host is using an outdated version of Factorio, or the map is just too old to be run on 0.16.XX (Because 0.12 is a very old version by internet standards.).
So, fixes. What do?

If it's the first issue (Server version is outdated):
Easy, just update the host's Factorio version.

If it's the second issue (Save is too old):
You should just either dump the save (delete it), or continue playing on 0.12.XX. There really isn't any way that I can see that you could update it from 0.12 to 0.16. I mean, that's a pretty big gap. Unless i'm missing something completely obvious, in which case the devs or mods will tell you how to update it.

Best of luck!
