Banned on Discord, Can't play the game.

Post by Stabby0369 »

Hello, was thinking about trying to get into the game again after not playing in a few months and in the menu screen, a notification popped up stating that I was banned on Discord. I have Discord but never joined a Factorio discord server. Any help would be great. Stabby7499 is my discord name.

You have a few options:
  • Disable the discord overlay (in discord)
  • Close discord completely (so it doesn't create the in-game overlay)
  • Wait until discord/cloudflare fixes whatever issue they are having at the moment.
To explain what is happening: The discord in-game overlay is having problems, because discord/cloudflare is having problems (with incorrect cloudflare ban notifications). This is unrelated to Factorio itself.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

It's not just the overlay. I got the cloudflare errorpage when I opened the discord app. The problem seems intermittent. If you try again it sometimes works like normal and sometimes you get the "blocked" page.

Looks like disabling the overview in Discord seemed to have worked, thanks for the help.
