[StrangePan] [1.1.101] Hang after switching macOS user

[SupplyDepoo]

Summary: The game freezes (showing the spinning color wheel as the cursor) after temporarily switching to another user account, and can only be force-quit.

Reproduction steps:

1. Launch Factorio.
2. Switch to another user.
3. Switch back again.
4. Factorio has stopped responding. Menu simulation and gameplay stopped, but music and some sound effects still play.

Factorio version: 1.1.101 (Steam)

I've been seeing this bug as well, it's still in 2.0.21. It happens on the opening screen without any simulations. I'm using Factorio via Steam.

I think the hang happens in Cocoa_GL_SwapWindow inside SDLWindow, but it's possible that's just reflecting a hang elsewhere. The MainThrd, CVDisplayLink, and GameUpdate threads appear to hang, all the other threads are doing something occasionally. (And none of them are pegged at 100% CPU.)

I've attached my config, log, a screenshot of the Instruments CPU/hang sample, and the sample file itself (which might need Xcode instruments to open).

This doesn't seem to be related to Steam or Space Age, the 1.1.110 demo has the same hang.

Headless/server mode is not impacted by this bug, it runs even during fast user switching.

So running

Code: Select all

./factorio --verbose --start-server-load-latest

in a terminal might be a workaround, if you want to run in the background all the time, and connect via GUI only when you're actively playing.

Headless/server mode is not impacted by this bug, it runs even during fast user switching.

Actually, I think I was wrong here. I ran a save as headless for about 6 hours, did a fast user switch, then came back and re-loaded it.

When I came back, my mining productivity tech was advancing at about 1% every few seconds, but hadn't completed in the 6 hours I was away.

Edit: I forgot to set auto-pause false in the server settings!

The GUI hangs with Fast User switching, but the CLI doesn't.
