Error loading game
Around half the time when I load my last game after just opening the game, I get a popup message "Error. Unexpected error occurred" and I have to force quit Factorio and try again. Sometime it happens 4-5 times in a row, and sometime I can get in on the first try. If I click out of the popup box, the game just sits there with a loading bar and it never progresses any farther or does really anything else until I force quit and try again. Closing Factorio normally doesn't seem to work. Im on a MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 if that helps. Everything in game works perfectly, and I love the game so far, but this error is starting to annoy me. Currently I'm on 0.12.20 and just downloaded the game like a week ago, and it has been occurring since day one.

- After this, I have to force quit. Although it never says that the application stopped responding, I have waited for over 10 min and have had still nothing happen.

- The level of the loading bar isn't always full, but it never changes once it gets an error. Often it looks full like that though.

Re: Error loading game
So what about that log file the error message mentions?

Re: Error loading game
I can't find it. I look in the Application Support it says to look in, and it isn't there. Wherever it is, it isn't where it says it is.prg wrote:So what about that log file the error message mentions?
Re: Error loading game
Could you try running Factorio in a terminal and see if that outputs anything interesting?

Re: Error loading game
I would if I knew how. It's just weird that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, with no real pattern.prg wrote:Could you try running Factorio in a terminal and see if that outputs anything interesting?
Re: Error loading game
Hmm, don't know anything about OS X, but... maybe go through the list of installed applications, find something with "terminal" in its name or description. Then figure out which binary to run, right click -> properties on the desktop icon or whatever you start Factorio with usually might help with that.
Alternatively, isn't there some system wide "find files" utility that could help you locate factorio-current.log?
Or wait for someone who actually knows something about Macs.

Re: Error loading game
Well I know what the terminal is, but I don't know how to run a binary in it or if you can even do that on Mac. I looked through the package content and found no log files either. The system wide search function found no "factorio-current.log" files of any kind either. Probably just going to have to see if the next update fixes it or another Mac user to tell me whats up if they found the problem/solution. Thanks for the help though.prg wrote:Hmm, don't know anything about OS X, but... maybe go through the list of installed applications, find something with "terminal" in its name or description.

Re: Error loading game
Hello, try it in the newest 0.12.21, there have been some fixed that can be related.
If it still happens in the newest version post the contents of the log file and the save game as well please.

Re: Error loading game
I read somewhere that I should reduce the threads and that is actually working really well so far. Hasn't crashed again yet
Re: Error loading game
This is exactly what was happening in 0.12.20, in 0.12.21 it should work properly even with big thread count.Spiffyman30 wrote:I read somewhere that I should reduce the threads and that is actually working really well so far. Hasn't crashed again yet
