[1.x] Steam issues
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2020 9:06 pm
I just hit the save file limit for steam (12.6 GB). Instead deleting them in-game, I moved the old save files to another location.
Now Steam tries to re-download all the old 12GB over my pesky internet connection (2 mbit) and stops me from playing factorio (it does not start..).
Had problems like this before. While I'm fine playing Factorio, even Multiplayer works with low bandwidth. But every time steam tries to sync the save files. So to quit Factorio, and start it again is impossible. Takes forever ..
My workaround: kill everything steam related in task manager, start again. If it does not work, set steam to offline mode. Play around. Restart for Multiplayer, and hope steam does not sync.
I'm not sure if you can do anything about that behaviour...
