Good news! I think I found the problem. It's the one thing I imagined it was and really, really didn't want it to be. Factorissimo2. If I load up the save with all mods enabled in single-player, I get 60/60 FPS/UPS. If I load up the save with all mods enabled in local multiplayer, I get 45-50/45-50....

Hmm, when you are playing and hosting at the same time, dropping game speed causes issues for other clients? Never experienced that, than again i always seemed to be the slowest player. i know loewchen submitted an idea that the gamespeed autoscales to the slowest player to prevent desync issues, n...

I'd also note that I shouldn't have to specifically downclock a computer to be able to play a game. The thought is just ridiculous! I completely agree, i thought the same, but it made the game playable for me. The other alternative is to turn down game speed to say 0.8? just to see what happens.? W...

Hey Mate, I had similar issues in previous versions. What solved it for me is downclocking the server to under 3ghz. my sweetspot seemed to be around 2.6ghz, but that is with an AMD cpu at 4ghz for game pc. i'm expecting you might have a sweet spot a little higher. Try downclocking the server to 3g...

After a couple of days diagnosing, I have indeed got some faulty RAM. I've tested slots and modules - all slots are good and two of four modules are good. Two faulty modules have been removed. However... I've been playing Factorio on my main computer as a multiplayer game but mostly was on my own. T...

I would like to add to this that if I save the game from the server, then open it up in single player it runs flawlessly. Even when I ask bots to remove a couple of hundred belts or I hold F and run along a belt. After some experimenting, it appears that it may be a hardware fault with my server. In...

Hello, My friend and I are playing on a heavily modded server that I run. It's becoming unplayable for an unknown reason. I don't know how to do proper debugging, but I have enabled "show-time-usage" and investigated that screen. No particular mod is obviously causing the issue. Instead, w...

I have no idea what any of your mods do. Each of the descriptions are as useful as the last. "<part of mod> part of 5dim mods." is not an adequate description. Not only that but you've got the descriptions for "resources" and "transport" muddled, as well as spelling &qu...

Yes, I did.

found a video about disabling auto handling of outbound NAT in pfSense v2.1.3 here . worth a shot. THANKS! I thought that this is what I did, but obviously not as I just tried it again, following this video and it works perfectly. So I'll try to add these options in 0.15. In the meantime you can tr...

-snip- Hi, this looks like you are behind a NAT that is not automatically traversable by Factorio. How exactly do you determine the IP that you give to people manually? Does it include setting a forwarded address on your router? So I've read the other topic, and it really looks like problems with c...

Please upload (not post the content) the complete log-files of host and peer after an unsuccessful connection attempt. I started the server and waited for it to be ready. Then went to my client, started it up, searched for the server and attempted connection. I then closed the client, and then grac...

I have requested assistance in the technical help forum but as far as I can tell, it's an issue outside of my network. I can host a hidden server perfectly . I provide the IP to someone and they can join. I can host a public server but with faults . The server will show in the public matchmaking lis...

maybe the matchmaking server is having trouble with you having 2 servers on 1 IP address with 2 dif ports? or one username and password/token for both? i don't know. The one is hidden and doesn't have any login details. I tried running the public server with nothing else running and it still wouldn...

if you have a server already running on another port, maybe try copying it's settings? BTW, are you using version 0.14.13? [edit] my friend said it was BT that gave him problems hosting servers. That's what I did. And I can run a hidden server on that port just fine. It's the matchmaking server tha...

stack sizes are part of the item-prototype and can't be changed at run time. Your best bet would be to increase stack sizes for items, and decrease slot counts for chests/trains if this is a route you really want to go. Hmm... I guess that could work. I've settled on a 200 item stacksize rather tha...

i'll have to ask a friend from the UK. he had an ISP that prevented him from running a server. will ask him next time i speak with him you want to use "Do not NAT" so outgoing packets stay with the same 'from' port. source your server IP and port. destination ANY Thanks for investigating....

Code: Select all

You glorious person. That's EXACTLY what I was missing. Works perfectly now, thank you!

Hi. I've got my own private mod that tweaks a few things in the game to how I want them. That includes underground belts and pipes being extended from their vanilla values to a max distance of 50. My underground belts all work perfectly but I cannot get the underground pipes to extend past their van...

looking at the ping pong ports, i'm guessing it's a NAT cone problem. meaning the port numbers for outgoing server traffic are being changed by your router(s). most SOHO routers are crap for hosting any kind server. sure they will forward incoming traffic, but will change the outgoing traffic port ...
