Factorio Forums

I have been playing a scenario over the past few days with no problem. After the latest update I can no longer load any of my saved games. I get this error message:

AppManagerStates.cpp:1304: Error while running on_configuration_changed: LuaGameScript doesn't contain key surface.
stack traceback: ...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:59: in function <...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:54>

The Scenario is called Frontier - Extended by MojoD. I also have a few mods installed. I have been able to save and load my game with no problem until I updated to the latest version. I have tried to sync the mods with the save as the scenario is shown as not being included in the save, but when I check the box and click confirm it has no effect.
I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong, but what do I need to do in order load my saves?

If I understand correctly it's a problem with the scenario you have.
Game update triggered the event since configuration changed and something in the scenario handler for this event is broken.

We currently have a game up using the same scenario, and encountered the same problem. It's a bug (or an API change in Factorio) in the control.lua on line 59; change this: to this: This should get you going!

to this:

game.[b]surfaces[/b][1].peaceful_mode = false

Hey, thank you very much. That really did the trick - well, at least it did after I realised that I needed to amend control.lua in the save file as well as the scenario itself.

I just had this happen with today's update. That's too frustrating to deal with.

Thanks for the info, at least I know the cause.
