Hi! I downloaded 0.16.1 to try it out today and I can't seem to start a new world at all. Each time I click "Generate" it stalls for a couple seconds and gives me this notice:

Code: Select all

filesystem error: copy_file
"/media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16/temp/currently-playing/level.dat" to "/media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16/temp/currently-playing/level-init.dat" failed:
Function not implemented
[/media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16/temp/currently-playing/level.dat]
[/media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16/temp/currently-playing/level-init.dat]

I'm playing on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS, Intel Celeron CPU w/ 4GB RAM. Not quite sure what's going wrong here; any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Apologies, It somehow slipped my mind to include a log file.

Hi. Is /media/seth/Games located on some kind of a network share or something? Could you post the output of the `mount` command? (Just `mount`, no arguments.)

Thanks for replying! /media/seth/ is where my SD card is mounted currently.

I don't know if this helps in figuring out the problem, but I suppose I should mention I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with crouton using a Chromebook.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if the SD card is formatted as FAT or NTFS? Also, could you show the output of `ls -l /media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16`?

The SD card is formatted as exFAT; here's the output of that command:

I've run Factorio 0.14 & 0.15 on this same SD card before (still formatted as exFAT), so it confuses me as to why I'm having this error show up.

I recently got a new hard drive which I intended to format to ext4, and created a world in 0.16 seems to work on it!

So I guess the problem was the filesystem. Though it confuses me why 0.16 couldn't create a world on exFAT but 0.15 could, I'm glad I was able to resolve it.

Well, it's mounted as root and you (as non-root) have read-only permissions to it. It's more suspicious that it ever worked.

Either mounting it with your own user or with 777 permissions (umask=000) should resolve the issue. Or, indeed, getting a filesystem with actual support for permissions.

I'm going to call this not a bug since I don't see what we possibly could do about a read-only file owned by root.

It had read-only permissions? That's odd, I've been using this card for at least 6 months now and I've been able to run multiple games and use it like it was my laptop's disk, I wonder how it could've possibly had read-only permissions lol

Nonetheless good to know this wasn't a bug but rather an issue on my end, I'm looking forward to playing 0.16 more soon

EDIT: I've been mounting it with `sudo mount -o exec` if you're wondering.

Well, that's what your ls output shows. All of the files are listed as “-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root”, which means read-write-execute for the owner (which is root) and read-execute (but not write) for everyone else.

You could try `sudo mount -o exec,umask=000` to give everyone read-write-execute permissions. Or `sudo mount -o exec,uid=$UID,gid=$GID` to make yourself the owner of all files on the card.
