[2.0.20–2.0.21] Standalone client does not update automatically

[thesixthroc]

I run a 2.0.20 standalone client on MacOS 15.1. If I boot it up, there's no update notification, despite 2.0.21 being released and automatic updates enabled. Checking the box for experimental updates does not fix it.

Update: This is still failing under some circumstances.

Unlike when I first posted this thread, I now use the standalone client method for Mac listed in the Wiki (the first of the two methods.)

After various attempts, I was finally able to trigger the update dialog on one of my standalones (v2.0.41->2.0.42) by setting my config.ini and config-path.cfg to be that listed on the Wiki, then booting up and clicking Back on the dialog reading "Configuration file has invalid contents. Do you want to reset it?", then logging in to a Factorio account.

However, this method failed to work for my second standalone on v2.0.32.

For avoidance of doubt:

/Applications/factorio-alt.app/config-path.cfg:

Code: Select all

config-path=__PATH__executable__/../config
use-system-read-write-data-directories=false

/Applications/factorio-alt.app/Contents/config/config.ini:

Code: Select all

[path]
read-data=__PATH__executable__/../data
write-data=__PATH__executable__/..

It has no problem read/writing data for mods or saves based on these configurations.
