[0.12.8-9] Auto-updater issues grabbing the 0.12.9 update

Post by Narc »

Seems to work after a few retries, but it probably shouldn't be erroring like this at all.
factorio-current.log
Notable in the above: first it thought there was no update at all, I went to "Check update" manually, where it thought there was an update but getting the URL for it lead to a 404, then after a second manual check, it managed to work. Definitely odd behaviour.

First noticed when using my Factorio update helper to update my headless peer, but it happened in the regular client, too.

I had the same error, updated from 12.4 to 12.8 (12.9 was not showing), then no further updates were available, although I have the experimental build flag ticked.
Waiting and restarting the game made the auto-updater prompt me for 12.9 then.

Thanks for the report. Turns out our python updater server was running on 4 processes. However when the updates were refreshed only one of these (random) has been notified. Which probably resulted in some processes (on the updater server) refreshed and some not. That would explain why sometimes the updater would give 404 or wouldn't work at all. Now there is only 1 worker as a hotfix and we will synchronize the refresh on processes in the future. Anyhow this (and other 0.12.9 update quirks) should be resolved for now.
