Factorio Forums

Hello,
I have Linux Mint 18, x64. I updated Factorio from version 1.1.105 to 2.0.8, that passed ok, but after closing and restarting, nothing happened. I tried also standalone version 2.0.7 downloaded directly from Factorio server, after unzipping tar archives, game doesnt launch. Nothing happens, no log file generated, no noticeable procesor or RAM workload.
Notice that I didnt purchased DLC. When I tried google some solution, it seems related to MediaFeature Pack, but this happens on Windows.
Thanks for help.

The log appears to be for 1.1.105. Can you please try opening 2.0.8 and then see if the log file is updated, and if so, post that?

If nothing whatsoever happens, please try running the executable from the command line and post any output from there.

It's not possible to run that file from the terminal, it refuses it and says : command was not found.

Hmm, perhaps the binary isn't marked as executable. Please chmod +x path/to/binary and try running it again.

Also, please try downloading a fresh zip from our website and see if that one works.

So, command with chmod was doable, but still nothing happens, on terminal also nothing, command only finished. In directories still no log file. The same situation with version 2.0.9.

That is very strange - it should show something.

Potential theory: you are running Linux Mint 18, which came out in 2016. 2.0 has a higher glibc requirement than 1.1 did, so it's possible that it fails to launch because the glibc on your system is too old. However, in that case, it should show an error when you run from the terminal.

If there is no log file and no terminal output then I can't debug the issue.
