Factorio Forums

my game seems to crash after a random amount of time while its saving and the log says the same thing every time. idk if my save is corrupted or if its a bug or what but it says something about the electric network. log and save provided. the fact it crashes while saving guarantees maximum lots time as well as creating a corrupted save file but thankfully doesnt overwrite a good one

I let it run on full speed for a few minutes and it saved fine afterwards. If you find a reliable way to cause the corruption (as in: it will crash if saved afterwards) let us know.

it will run fine for quite a while then decide to crash randomly. i can sit and do nothing or i can be building, its just whenever it gets corrupted

Given you aren’t using any mods (that the log shows ar enabled), and that you don’t have a solid “load save, wait exactly x seconds for auto save” that leads me to believe your hardware is unstable and or failing.

Are you having any other pc issues?

Yes, but I have done literally everything I can to rule out any hardware issues and I've clean reinstalled the os so I figured the problem might be a corrupted factorio save. Maybe set autosave to 1 minute and then speed it up so it autosaves a few dozen times and that will help me

Yes to what question?

The save file you provided is not corrupted yet and if the game state would get corrupted by a bug in the game it would happen always and at the same point.

Yes to other pc issues. Thanks for your help this will help me fix my pc. I just needed to know if it was a bug causing it. Thanks!
