(Solved) Can't update from [1.1.12] to [1.1.13]

Post by nandee »

As the title says. I lauch the game and when asked to update I do so. The update downloads, restarts the game, asks for admin priviliges, but then it gives this error:

Updating file ___PATH__executable___/factorio.exe failed: remove C:*location of factorio folder*/Factorio/bin/x64//factorio.exe failed: Access denied.:

"C:*location of factorio folder*/Factorio/bin/x64/\factorio.exe "

I believe the problem is that it believes that the factorio.exe is called /factorio.exe or \factorio.exe Once I had this problem then I just reinstalled but does this mean that I have to keep reinstalling the game every other update? Last few updates were fine.

Update, I cold solve the problem by changing the config-path.cfg's first line, for some reason there was a / after data___config. No idea why it happened :/
