Headless Server Linux Save Game Crashing

[Hooo]

Hi guys - I'm trying to run a headless server via a virtual Linux box and have successfully done so up until I try to save the game / it auto saves. Each time I use the command to save game the server stops responding and doesn't start again until I manually restart via Putty. This is also the same situation when it tries to autosave. Is there something I have to do to stop this happening as it makes the game only playable for 2 minutes until an autosave occurs.

Cheers guys!

Hope this is what you need

Make sure the user running Factorio has write permission to wherever you're trying to write the save game.

This might help you, as it was the same error: [Solved] Linux Server error after a few minutes

Making all of /opt user-writable is maybe not the best solution. You could simply change the write-data path to somewhere in the user's home directory.

Hi, that did help! I can now save the game using the command in game, however the game doesn't auto save without me doing so on the client side. Is there a special way I should be closing Putty, as right now I'm simply clicking the X. Thanks again!
