Other than that, we don't touch the disk for writing runtime. So, your statement is false :P uhm, how does that mean my statement is false? you just described where all the IO is coming from. factorio writes to disk an awful lot during runtime That statement is false: 100% false. "All the IO&q...

Same happens with non-blocking save feature disabled.

I just got it on forkstat! 5966.560 Info ChildProcessAgent.cpp:60: Child 14616 exited with return value 0 5966.561 Warning ChildProcessAgent.cpp:79: We were not waiting for that child it is in fact this lsb_release thingy Time Event PID Info Duration Process 20:43:18 fork 9987 parent ../factorio/bin...

Can't test it via Wine. Unfortunately running Factorio 0.18.6 under Wine 5.0-rc5 doesn't work: __core__/graphics/shaders/sprites.vsh:1:53 syntax error, unexpected KW_CBUFFER, during startup / shader compilation. That is probably a bug in Wine tho, and obviously unrelated to the topic in this thread....

Well, the only way that line ever shows up is if you're using the non-blocking saving feature. Otherwise that code just never runs. Ok. Makes sense. But why would there be some dangling child that only finished 40 minutes after the game was already paused / last async autosave happened? Dunno. It's...

Are you on windows, mac, or linux? Because I'm on Windows 7 and can't reproduce that issue.

On Linux.

I can try running Windows version of factorio via wine. I guess to check it out.

It was the admins part at the bottom of fctserver.json.

Checked with a parse checker and it's fired up!

You mean there was JSON syntax error that was not reported by factorio server properly?

just out of curiosity are you using the non blocking save feature here?

Yes. But as I said game was paused and no clients were connected. Looking at logs, the all async save child processed exited without issues. It could be related tho of course.

I get "Couldn't establish network communication with the server" when I try to use that IP.

Here is a short video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7PzIGcSbx0

I was really curious about it, and started monitoring using forkstat, with filtering out all irrelevant other processes. Even with no clients connected, I see factorio does do a fork() exactly every 30 seconds. It looks like the forked process is calling `sh -c /usr/bin/lsb_release -ri`. Every 30 se...

"018.zip" load loads fine for me on Linux. I am using 0.18.6. But no mods, so a lot of entities got removed. No crashes.

It doesn't for me. It fails with the same error message every time.

The server is running right now, it is vanilla server without password, could you try connecting right now to it using "[2a02:348:9a:83b1::1]" ?

I can't reproduce a crash with no mods. non-blocking autosaving works flawlessly for me. Could you share your mods? As a single zip with all required mods.

Could you reproduce it in any way, even only just sometimes?

This is fantastic. I love both new poison cloud animation (way better than what was previously). It is perfect. And the robot destruction animations and variations are just cute and awesome.

Thank you!

The reason you are seeing these numbers is because "0.025" is not a representable floating point number. 0.25 is. But 0.025 isn't. Closest value is "0.025000000000000001387778780781". Agreed with devs. Not a bug. If you want to format values to be "nicer" you need to do...

LuaGameScript.autosave_enabled exists. So you could write a mod that detects "high" speed values and temporarily disables autosaving.

Thanks that is helpful. I will try that.

I guess shaders in your installation got corrupted somehow. Out of curiosity, why would Steam "verify integrity" not detect this issue then? Maybe the drive cached the shaders and it got corrupted instead? Why do you assume Steam verify integrity would not detect the issue? (I don't know ...

FYI. On Linux (at least on a distro and kernel I tested), the default receive buffer is reasonably high, and is automatically tuned by the kernel's networking stack based on available (free) memory and the load (number of incoming packets and speed at which application is handling them) on each sock...
