Factorio Forums

Hello,
the game crashes at the end of saving (both auto-save and manual save) at the free game, closer to the end (it never happened at the beginning, but quite often towards the end, ~ in the last 1/4).

I set the graphics to opengl (I think - there was such advice), which seems to have reduced the frequency, but did not completely reduce it.

I'm running windows 7, the version without Steam. It's work computer, so there is automatic continuous backup running in the background, but I don't think is a major issue, as when there is a conflict, I get a warning notice but the game does not crash

Log should be attached. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm happy to help to find the bug (but don't play much over the week)

Thank you
Jan

In the log, it's written :

4770.098 Warning FileUtil.cpp:258: C:/Users\Myslivecek Jan\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\temp\currently-saving-57854ad0\_autosave1.zip was read only, the read only flag had to be removed so it can be deleted.

I think You have some clue what to do Maybe some problem with the Factorio folder you have in %APPDATA%. You should make sure you have full access (or at least have write access), and that inheritance is activated for all subfolders.

I see - thank you. I think it may be something I cannot affect.

The game in general has full access. However, the automated back-up checks files which changed and backs them up. During this process, it marks them as read-only. It's nothing I can change.

In any case, I can understand if the game fails to save the game, but it should not crash. More correct behavior (IMHO) would be just to tell me what happened, and maybe offer a retry.

What do you think?

What automated backup?

Ok, the error was, that it couldn't delete the previous file, but then it also couldn't delete the temporary file and C++ doesn't like exception creation while you already process exception.

Long story short, it shouldn't crash in 0.13.30, but give an error message instead.

This will likely take a lot of time
