iv just build my self a Flamethrower ( gun )
and wanted to test how much damage it does to green bitters....

it does a lot
just pressing space for 0.5 sec ( single ) press
and let the green biters just burn and run around ....

it does about 3000 / 4000 damage so I thought I grab my shotgun
and finish them off but when thay where still burning and the first shot
my game crashed... 2 times in a row.... ( shoting at burning green bitters upclose )

so i did a little bit if testing....

what i did, pull a few bitters, press as short as you can the spacebar to just let the biters burn....
so i got 5 orso green biters left so i threw a slow cap and shot a tiny bit more of the flamethrower
and then i tried to shoot them with my shotgun...
and the game crashed 3 more times on me....

thought you should know

Edit:
when the game crashes..
it " asked" to sent the save file and mods...
and some kind of factorio.current.log file...
so here is all you need


( shooting at burning after being slowed, behemoth biters with shotgun crashes the game )

Edit:
there are worms.... so i threw a few ( 5 ) poisn caps and when i ran in with the burning biters the game also chased...
and the game crashed 2 more times on me....

so that's total of 10 crashes in 15 min of playing

Thanks for the report,

Does this issue still occur in 0.13.10?
Can you reproduce the crash or was it a one off?

yes the game crashes still
after updating to 13.10...


for the Devs.
could you download the files I sent with this bug report...
and to east below the " power station " around the lake
there should be bitters who gather in groups of a FEW 100
and see whats going on there....

thay attack sometimes in groups of 300 bitters or more

Edit:
so I thought to save the game while in combat with the biters ...
I played 53 sec fighting biters and save... 10 to 15 sec later my game crashed ...
when I tried to load the save my game crashes when its done loading....

i think it might have something to do with the animation that slow caps have and fire on the biters what makes the game crash

The save file you uploaded is corrupt. Do you have any other save file that can reproduce the crash that actually loads?

yes here is the new save file...
iv tested it 2 times... just keep switshing between flame gun, green / blue caps

or / and I tried also to let the fire kill the nests

it still crashes
wish I could make a video of the crash... ??

Thanks for the report, we found the issue and are working on it.

sweeeeet
can I ask what the problem is ?

I think its because of some animation that the biters get when slowed or are on fire....
witch makes the game crash ?

Fixed for 0.13.12

Flamethrower and slowdown capsules create "stickers" on biters that give them damage over time and slow them down, and there was a bug in linking biters to multiple stickers. So mixing flamethrower and slowdown capsule at the same time eventually caused crash.
