Factorio Forums

I'm on OSX (10.9.5) and have been stuck at alpha 11.6 for some time now. Something about applying the update causes a SigSev CTD; whereupon the update can never be applied due to the change log "having unexpected content". It seems a bit odd for the update process to rely on a change log that itself is changed before the update is even applied. I have tried redownloading the version available from factorio.com (10.2) and updating from there several times now to no avail, so:

- Is there a method for manually updating Factorio?

- Is there a way to "repair" the change log, or a workaround for the "change log has unexpected content" issue?

- Is there a download for a version later than 10.2 I've missed?

Or should I just wait for the next stable release?

There's an "experimental release" link at the top of the download page.

I am an idiot.

Thanks!

Could you please try running the update from 0.12.0 again and post a Log file from the crashed attempt?

I'd love to, but the three times I've just tried updating from 10.12 again worked flawlessly. I tried from complete scratch (removing application directory), once while preserving the old application directory, and once after a restart. Now that I'm trying to make it crash, it is behaving.

There haven't been any environment updates since I made my original post and it was crashing "reliably", so this is either a weird corner case or a PEBCAC issue. Probably the latter.
