[2.0.20–2.0.41] Standalone client does not update automatically

Post by thesixthroc »

When running standalone client on MacOS 15.1 following the instructions listed in the Wiki (the first of the two methods), I am typically not prompted to update the Factorio version (whether or not 'Enable experimental updates' is checked) even when several versions out of date.

This was observed on Factorio 2.0.20, 2.0.32 and 2.0.41.

On one occasion, under circumstances that do not appear to be obviously distinct, an update from v2.0.41->2.0.42 was successfully prompted.

For avoidance of doubt, this is the exact configuration used. My standalones have no problem read/writing data for mods or saves based on these configurations.

/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__/..

Thanks for the report however given you're the only person seemingly having this issue - and it works fine when I test it - there's nothing to work with here.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
