Multiplayer Button missing?

[RedKite]

I've noticed my multiplayer button doesn't appear, at first i thought it might be a hidden console command.

Now i know there is a button, I think I've realised the problem, when i installed factorio originally i had a prompt to log in, and i did. this time however i was not prompted, I'm guessing i need to be logged into make it work?

So the issue is, how do i force a log on prompt so i can input my details and unlock the multiplayer access?



Factorio 0.10.12 build 10773 win64

You actually need to update to 0.11.1 first. Check the "Experimental updates" option Options->Other and check for updates again.

Ah, interesting however i had literally just downloaded the game, pressing check updates told me im up to date, looking at the download page now:

I see the experimental release hyper link and found the right version, however it wasnt clear that this was not part of the title, but a link to the experimental releases. maybe a little ui improvement due? or maybe im just being a little thick

pressing check updates tells me im up to date

That's why you need to enable Expertimental updates in the game options

Yeah, sorry that was meant to be in past tense, All is well now at any rate thank you for the help, I'm guessing my log in details were stored in the registry when i installed 0.9 ages ago, so i dont have to log in again on this pc.
