Factorio Forums

I'm about 100 hours into a 0.17 game with replay enabled when Steam autoupdates to 0.17.70.
I go to load my save and get the message "Replay saving disabled map has different mod settings".
I'm not using any mods.
I have used a few console commands to grant items and disable minimap warnings.

I can workaround the problem by downgrading to 0.17.69, but that's not a great solution.

The save is ~30MB and the forum won't let me upload it here, but here's the loading screen showing no mods

Hello, the bug is that it showed you a misleading message, it should have shown "Replay saving disabled, map saved with version 0.17.69 and current version is 0.17.70".

That's fixed for next release.

If you want to keep the replay, you need to stay on 0.17.69; If you use Steam, I suggest you download that versions from factorio.com (create account, if you don't have one, link it to Steam and you can get DRM-free version of the game), because that version won't stay on Steam for long.

Thanks or the response. I guess this is basically expected behavior coupled with a misleading error message.
