[1.1.87] Linux - Factorio crashing on big maps

[jogsosog]

Hello, everyone

Recently I moved from my long time windows machine to a new linux one. I should stress everything worked fine in my previous install, so it's definitely not the maps being corrupted or something along those lines.

This is a new Arch install, NVIDIA GPU with drivers installed (see below).

Code: Select all

$ pacman -Qi | egrep 'Name.*(nvidia|vulkan)'                                                                                                                                                                   
Name            : nvidia
Name            : nvidia-utils
Name            : vulkan-icd-loader

Factorio has been crashing for me after a while on some big maps I have. On one of them, it simply crashes after a few seconds (a lot going on). On another one, it runs fine until I enable power lines to be visible in the world map, then it crashes too.

I have ruled out it being a HW or driver issue as this build runs GPU benchmarks just fine. Running the game also doesn't come even close to using all the machine's resources so it can't be that it's too weak. Does factorio have some specific linux dependency I am not accounting for? Leaving the logs for the second map here, let me know if the first map's logs would help as well - although they are very nearly identical, even with regards to the errors.

Some question come to my mind:
- Is the save from Windows? Does a new game started only on linux works fine?
- Why is the game under /opt/games/factorio/ ? Do you have the proper RW access?
- As linux user, I could try the save file and check, if it crashes for me, too. I don't have encountered anything like that, yet.

- Is the save from Windows? Does a new game started only on linux works fine?

The saves are from windows, yes. I would love to have a big linux save to use for testing but I simply don't. The issue seems more related to the amount of activity on the save, however, as in small bases it doesn't crash. I have also found that on a big enough online game the same is true.

- Why is the game under /opt/games/factorio/ ? Do you have the proper RW access?

I am not using steam so I just figured /opt was as a good a place as any for this. Recently got the AUR package for factorio, which is installed in /usr and it doesn't make a difference, same issues. I have checked that I have the right permissions for everything too.

- As linux user, I could try the save file and check, if it crashes for me, too. I don't have encountered anything like that, yet.

PM'd you the save

[jogsosog]

I should also mention that the crashing is kind of random. Some times, the crash happens immediately after loading the file (full loading bar still visible). It could be 5 seconds or a minute, very unpredictable even for the same save.

[Rseding91]

If you have some exact steps to reproduce the crash let me know. Something like: load a save, wait 1 minute 22 seconds -> crash.

But if it's "load a save and wait between 5-50 minutes" that says your computer is most likely unstable (bad RAM, bad CPU overclock/RAM overclock) and you're getting corrupt data from that.
