1.1.59 mp matching server / ups?

Post by stormbind »

Hi all,

are there any plans to disable multiplayer matching servers for older versions, especially 1.1.59? We're running a heavily modded game (~150mods, 500 ingame hours in) which we cannot easily upgrade to the latest version. (or is this version independent anyways?)
The main reason to try upgrade would be, if we could expect major UPS boost, doing approx 25ups on a 3900x with 32gb 3200mhz on a dedicated headless ubuntu server, which is getting more and more cumbersome, but from reading patch notes i do not expect it?

Thanks for creating such a marvelous game :-)

1.1.59 is not so old, in theory the matching server still supports clients older than 1.0 :) There are no plans to intentionally break compatibility with older versions currently but of course we cannot guarantee online functionality for outdated versions indefinitely.

However, if you play the game from Steam and rely on 1.1.59 being avaiable for selection in the list of beta releases on Steam, you need to download it from https://factorio.com/download/archive/1.1.59 as soon as possible, as outdated versions are pruned from Steam (and from our website) relatively frequently.
