[2.1.17] Load Game dialog cannot navigate to Parent Folder if Invalid Savefile is Present
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2026 2:06 pm
What did you do?
Error loading Savefile is Displayed, despite that Savefile not being highlighted or Loaded. Navigation to the Parent Folder is blocked.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
level.dat error would appear only when attempting to load a Broken savefile. Navigating across Folders should work regardless of folder contents.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- Created a folder saves/Test/ inside of my Factorio User Data directory
- Downloaded attachment which looks like a Savefile but isn't into this Subfolder
- Open the Load game dialog
- Attempt to navigate to the Parent folder by double-clicking [ Test/.. ]
