Factorio Forums

If the game crashes, then factorio first gives a popup saying it'd help to post the log in the bug reports forum. And you can choose to copy+paste the log directory to your clipboard or not. When you copy it, you get an invalid directory. The first slash is the wrong way around. For example, i got: C:/Users\Dilbe\AppData\Roaming\Factorio

I've attached a screenshot of the whole message to this post.

"C:/Users" works perfectly on windows. Windows doesn't care which direction the slashes are.

Ah, i see it works if i enter it in my address bar of the file explorer.

But in windows 10 it does not work if i press windows key and then control+v and then enter.

If i change the slash, then it does work that way.

I just tried it out in windows 7 as well. And there it does work with the wrong slash if i press windows key, then control+v then enter. So it seems to only go wrong on windows 10.

Just tested forward slashes on my sister's Win10 laptop, they work fine (just as in Win7 and below); Running "C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe" ran the expected application. This is Not a Bug, since there is no issue.

if i copy C:/Windows/System32/ op my clipboard and then press windows key, then control+v, then enter, it does not work.

I dont mind that much if it's not considered a bug, but dont say that what i wrote works if it does not (-:

It does work for C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe but it does not work for a directory

Paste it into the Run dialog (Windows+R); I've confirmed that forward slashes work there. I haven't tested the "Start Search" (as I call it), and I can't right now.

In my tests, which involved entering a path into both the Run dialog and the Explorer address bar, both forward slashes and backslashes were accepted. I did not test the Start Search, as I did not think of it at the time.
