Pretty straight forward, somewhere between you and the server the connection is interrupted. If it still does not work in an hour, upload your log (see my signature).

Did a clean install and ran the "verify integrity of game cache" and its working fine.

I bought the game through steam by the way.

Now I see the mod list. :)

SO MANY OMG!!!

I looked around and installed LONG REACH and its working fine.

Thanks for the help :D

One quick question. In the wiki there's a console section that's showing me stuff I can do.

Will running the console commands affect my achievements and other stuff? Please advise.

Thanks again

Every command starting with /c will prevent you from getting achievements later on, but it will warn you.

got same problem and nothings works for me any ideas ?
worked for a week ago, i could install mods in the game and start a multiplayer map, and tried earlier to start a multiplayer map by clicking
" multiplayer " " new map " and all the settings stuff and then i gotta log in and i type my stuff and i get the stupid problem... i did when i wanted to play with my girlfriend, and then this happened to both of us, so we are kinda bumped out, special because i bought it for her just so we could play together


i have checked the firewall and gave it access
tried to reinstall and verify integrity stuff in steam tried install from factorios page
dont really know what else to do
