Factorio Forums

Hi!

I've set up an headless Factorio server to play with my friends. But there one small hiccup that we both have met while playing.

The 'Continue: Join <server name>' button on the main menu does not work if we haven't already joined in the current game session. (i.e. If i start up the game and try to 'continue' It does not work. But if i join the server by searching in the public listings, quit the server and then try to use 'Continue' it works)

I'm well aware that I have the same issue as this post, but It was never solved so I'm turning here myself.

So, when I try to connect via the 'Continue feature' the game tries to load the server but fails with And by checking the server logs there is nothing, not even an 'attempt connecting from player' visible.
But, as I said, going through 'Multiplayer -> Browse public games -> <my server>' works without any (significant) problems, with logs present in the server and all.
Does anybody know what this might be caused by and how to solve this?

Technical infos:

• The server is a

  Code: Select all

  Linux ****** 6.1.0-22-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.94-1 (2024-06-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
  

• I am not using any name system, the IPv4 I use is static
• I am using a Linux machine to play, but my friend who uses a Windows machine suffers the same problem

Thanks.

Hello!

Sorry I don't have a solution... but I wanted to add that I'm having this same issue.

The client log spits out the following upon clicking the continue button (after first launching the game):
