Error while parsing bug on game load.

Post by robnzrob »

I just put on experimental release. On first load of 18.20 I got two error messages.

Seems to be something wrong with the campaign json.

Do you use Steam?
What's wrong is that data\base\campaigns\beta nor campaigns\demo should exist anymore, so the game didn't update properly.

Yes I use steam. I have a fresh win10 install and installed Factorio which was .17. Then did the experimental version as I wanted to play Krastorio 2
Would you suggest I uninstall and install again?

No, Steam lost track of the files, so uinstalling it would not remove them.
Open Factorio properties in Steam Library, navigate to Local Files and Brose Local Files. File Explorer opens, open data -> base -> campaigns and delete beta and demo folders.

That worked. No more error messages.
