Factorio Forums

I run an older MacOS version - 10.14.6 - due to compatibility with some other apps and the fact my laptop is from 2015. Have been able to use Factorio without issue before, to the point of running a megabase at one point.

Installed Space Age and went up to 2.0.8 today, but Factorio crashed almost immediately upon starting - at 3% loaded. Deleting the old mods folder - I only had a few - helped, but now it crashes at 29% loaded (when it says "building sprite atlas...").

Switching to experimental build and verifying file integrity does not help.

The following is the log:

9.920 Error Util.cpp:95: Unexpected error occurred. If you're running the latest version of the game you can help us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.
Please also include the save file(s), any mods you may be using, and any steps you know of to reproduce the crash.

Please advise.

Thank you for the report. This may be related to 116258, but the macOS version number is different, so I won't file this as a duplicate yet. I'll work on getting this fixed for you.

Others have reported that deleting the crop-cache.dat file may fix the issue. viewtopic.php?p=621583#p621583
Deleting just this file will not impact your save data.

Deleting that file fixed the issue. Thank you for your assistance.

A fix for this crash has been implemented. We're working fast to get it ready for release by the weekend.

Marking this as "resolved for next release". If the issues persist in 2.0.11, please post here!
