Factorio Forums

Hello,

I've tried the Factorio demo 2 days ago and really enjoyed it, so I decided to purchase the game.

But when I play the complete game, it is very slow.
Actually I can't even play. I if try to move the character, from the moment I press the key to the moment it actually moves, it's about 4 or 5s.

When I played the demo, it was totally normal.

In the complete game, it is slow, even if the map has just started and is empty.

I'm playing on a Mac.

Thanks for your help.

This sounds similar to this issue: http://steamcommunity.com/app/427520/di ... 352018798/

I just figured it out actually. Please take note of this issue. The demo installed from factorio.com was still present on the computer. I installed the full game through steam without uninstalling the demo first. I fixed it by completely deleting anything to do with the game off the computer and reinstalling it via steam.

I am not Mac user, so I don't understand how demo being still present on computer can have any effect on game's performance.

YASSS !

I uninstalled the demo and then reinstalled the game and it works fine.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
