"Updated version has same file name" on install mod.

[jeskers]

When trying to install mod from in-game, I get an error that says "Updated version has same file name" then the program quits.

Mod folder in %appdata%/factorio/mods is completely empty.

Same problem here.

Have a log.

I installed 0.13.0 from Steam. Went to install the Tape Measure mod, and it threw an error 'Updated version has same file name'.

I clicked 'OK' and it crashed to desktop.

Tried a different mod after that, and had the same issue.

[devilwarriors]

same problem here.

and somehow the mod still got installed, yet I can't find the mod file anywhere in the mod folder or steam workshop folders and it's not present in the list of installed mod so I can't remove it.

unless the landfill mod was made part of the game????

[Aerukath]

Having same problem. It downloads the mod/s into temp folder then get that error and closes. Manually moving the files and works just in-game mod portal just doesn't like to install.

"Landfill" is in base now. Surprised me seeing it in complete vanilla.

[slindenau]

Same.

My mods folder is clean, I install a mod from within the mod portal in-game It'll download for a moment and "update version has same file name" will pop up force closing the game.

[JayReed]

Same here. I'm running on a Mac and Steam. I guess I will just work on my achievement until they patch it.

Same problem with the mod book on the mac after a complete Factorio deinstall and vanilla install of 0.13 direct from the developers site

[strend]

Same here.

[HanziQ]

Thank you for reporting, this should be fixed in 0.13.1.

[CaptainRush]

same here, thx for your work guys

I'm using this workaround for now (on windows 7)
1. find and try to install your required mod from the mod portal
2. when it crashes to desktop go into %appdata%/Factorio/temp
3. move the zip file for your mod to %appdata%/Factorio/mods
4. UNPACK the zip file into a folder of THE SAME NAME still inside %appdata%/Factorio/mods. i.e. TimeTools_1.0.13.zip -> TimeTools_1.0.13
5. delete the zip file
6. start Factorio and find your mod installed
7. repeat for all the mods you want.

Notes:
Step 4 is IMPORTANT. Factorio will just delete the zip file if you don't unpack it.
make sure when you unpack it that you don't have a single folder inside of the folder

Also, when the patch for this comes out I recommend you delete all the folders and install properly through Factorio.

Cheers

You can just download the zip file directly from the source at https://mods.factorio.com/

You do not need to unzip mods. It's actually preferred to keep them zipped.

Same problem. Bumping in hopes that this gets patched next build. (I'm running beta 0.13.0)

Same problem. Bumping in hopes that this gets patched next build. (I'm running beta 0.13.0)

0.13.1 has been released earlier today update and the problem will disappear
