How to play on version 1.1, selecting beta version on Steam doesn't work

Post by Frankvd »

Hello,

I really want to continue my older games and I can't switch to 2.0 because then the mods don't work. However, selecting version 1.1.110 under Betas in the properties tab in Steam does not work, the game stubbornly insists on loading 2.0.
I have not installed the Space Age DLC, which seems to have caused the problem for other people here, but obviously not in my case.
Some people also refer to this page (https://factorio.com/download/archive/1.1.110) to download older versions, but I can't see any actual download button, other than the button to just buy the game again.

Can anyone please help? I really don't want to lose all those games and the hundreds of hours of time I put into it.

You can get the official version instead of the Steam one :

I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

OK, thank you, apparently I had forgotten to link my Steam account to the official Factorio page in the past, I can download the older version now at least.

It will work on Steam, just switch the betas to a different version then back to 1.1.110. And disable the DLC also in the same menu.

Somehow that worked too, weird. Thanks anyway, playing on Steam is easier.
