[0.15.10] Menu access while connecting to server, crash

I am on a slow 1.5/0.25 megabit DSL Internet connection. CenturyLink in a rural area, so what do you expect. :roll: While attempting to connect to a multiplayer game, the estimated download time is 10 minutes, which is too long for me. I want to abort the download and instead start a new game. If I ...

Re: Lag reduction in multiplayer

It looks like I have a save from before the lag started getting ridiculous.

Is there a modpack manager for Factorio?

Ugh, I've dipped my toe into trying to join a modded server and I can already see this process sucks immensely. You have to manually add mods to the game via downloading either individual mods, or from a zipfile. Although you can have multiple versions of the same mod in the game directory, it only ...

Re: Lag reduction in multiplayer

Another mosh party further down the beach. I thought we would be safe from these on the other side of the lake but noooo, they lag us to death instead.

Killing off these packs helped solve the lag.

Re: Lag reduction in multiplayer

I think I found the problem. This pack of biters on the other side of the lake is so dense, they just stand there like zombies. Landfilled over to them, blasting them, and still they just stand there. Got some massive lag spikes sweeping these with flamethrower and turrets. http://i.imgur.com/5SAm3H...

Lag reduction in multiplayer

We have a large multiplayer map going, and a bunch of people are starting to find it too laggy as the map grows larger.

Logistics requester/trash UI infinite loop

It's unclear to me if this is a bug or a suggestion. The way this works suggests to me that it is at least a UI design oversight and not something you want to be happening. If an item is in the logistics requester for a player, and then they decide to put that item in their logistics trash, it start...

Re: Either automatic error reporting, or don't waste our time

No this does not make any sense. It should not fall on the player's shoulders to have to deal with crash handling. I can name any number of other programs that automate all this without needing anything to be done by the user. If you are serious that debug data should be FORCED onto everyone, then b...

Either automatic error reporting, or don't waste our time

1. For players who are not going to report anything and just want to play the game .... it is a complete waste of everyone's time for a multiplayer server to pause and save a special large desync reporting file for that player... which they then will proceed to ignore and which they will not upload ...

[0.15.1] Desync loop downloading map over and over

Had a player join this multiplayer server, where it says desync over and over and over and over. Server was basically frozen for everyone because it keeps downloading the map for this single player repeatedly. Please add some sort of limit to server desync bug reporting so that it will not do this, ...

[0.15.1] Stopped train out of fuel crashes client

So here we have a train out of fuel. If I click anywhere on the map near it, my game crashes. This train has caused several other people to crash out on this same server, also trying to put fuel in it, because it is blocking about 8 other trains. http://i.imgur.com/8bfkyDW.png Error log / factorio-c...

Re: [0.15.1] Multiplayer browser: column sorting

..... actually sorting by name appears to be sorting by number of players:

Top of list:

Bottom of list:

.... and inverting the name column to descending shows the servers with the most players at the top, rather than Z-A order...
