[Resolved] Unable to do anything in game on an MP server.
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2017 1:18 am
I was playing factorio with 2 friends on a MP (headless) server when all of a sudden my in game player/sprite disappeared, I have no inventory and cannot move or do anything.
The server is being hosted on a DigitalOcean 2 Core, 2GB Ram droplet.
Bringing up my inventory shows no slots altogether and I see logistic slots and crafting, but my main inventory is just a blank section, not even empty slots.
My tool bar is also empty. I had items before this issue, and its not a logged in with wrong username issue.
My in game username for this map is "Neodragon90", without the quotes.
I run the game using the 64bit Linux client via steam, usually.
My user on the server is the only one experiencing this issue.
Things I have tried (with no success):
Restarting the server (obviously)
The non-steam linux client, downloaded from factorio.com
My friend (who plays fine on the server with his account) logging in using my username to the server (using the windows client)
Copying the map locally and opening it as a local game.
I would like to resolve this issue which seems to be related to my username and this save.
If that means somehow resetting my user so I could go back to spawn with no items, I could accept that.
I realize that simply logging into the server with a different username would resolve this issue, but I was actually looking to enforce the factorio account username checking as an added security measure.
I have attached, the save file, the client and server log files.
Some Mods are in use, names and versions should be evident from the log file.
Let me know if you need anything else for troubleshooting.
Thanks.
