Factorio Forums

Hi Everyone,
After the 1.1 update many of my mods were disabled, but the game still launched.
I added some new mods, all updated 1.1 versions, in hopes of keeping the fun experience to my liking. Immediately after that as Factorio launched, it hung at 4%, displaying.....beltlayer. Normally, in the past if I encountered a mod conflict a pop-up window would offer an option to disable the conflicting mod, I could select to do so, and the game would continue launching. Not so now. My HDD light stays lit, game hangs, and I have to use Task Manager to end the Factorio launch. I have walked away and just let it alone for hours hoping it would fix itself, but it doesn't happen.
I can't get to the mod menu to delete the conflicting mod as obviously the game has to load for the option to be available. So, I was wondering, is there a way to launch Factorio that will disable the mods? Maybe hold a key, or combination of keys while it loads? Any other work arounds?
I have over 3600 hours in this game. Never a technical issue of any kind. Would sure like to get it running again.
I have removed and re-installed the game three times, no help at all. I have to find a way to disable those mods so I can launch and then manage my mods.
All help appreciated!
Thanks for reading.

See 52433.

Thanks, I did look at that article first. However, I just needed a question answered and did not want to get into chasing down logs and uploading them for that simple request.

I'll get help elsewhere.

Thank You.

You can try deleting all mods from the mod folder if that is the question you are referring to.
On windows, they are often in C:\Program Files\Factorio\mods.
If not there, use task manager to find the .exe and they should be in the same directory.

Thank You Sir, that is what I did. I researched the mod location, found it, and just deleted the conflicting mod. I thought they were stored on the STEAM website since they were not in the Steam/steamapps/Common/Factorio folder, thus the reason for asking for a work around during launch.
Running Again!
Simple problem, simple answer.
Thanks Again!
