[0.12.24 steam] [Martin]Changing mods and the game closes, but it doesn't start again sometimes.

[ltl king]

Steam version.

After going into mods and changing them.
When you hit the back button to go back the main menu.
The game closes.

[Smarty]

the game closes when you change the mods is not a bug

[*]Any changes in the mods settings will automatically trigger the game to be restarted. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=20026)

But it should restart and it doesnt so that is the bug (i think)

I have the same problem here : the game quits and it does not restart. steam 0.12.24 version.

Maybe this is related to the ultra long times wich factorio needs to update the steamcloud.

In the version from here, factorio restarts for me and with the steamversion it dont.

I tried to disbale steam cloud on Factorio only, and it seems to smoothen the things.
But I wonder what I lost doing this. Is you save map backuped on steam ? as your config ? I don't know...

[Martc]

I also noticed that cloud synchronization, after existing factorio, takes a while. I was unable to run another game and when i tried exit Steam, cloud synchronization dialog popup and it takes minute or two to complete. And I think it is not connected with mod change, I was only exiting factorio from the menu.

Yes, maybe dev should take into account that some people with basic DSL connection have a 1Mb/s download rate but only a 80kb/s upload rate, so you cannot upload big files to steam so easily...

[HanziQ]

If you don't have a fast enough connection to use Steam Cloud, turn off Steam Cloud. Saves for Factorio are large and there is not much we can do, you can turn it off only for Factorio, if you want.

[binbinhfr]

Yes, thank you, that's what I did.

[binbinhfr]

But anyway, under steam, the lastest problem persists : if I toggle one mod on/off, the game quits but does not restart as it pretend to do
So this is a bug IMHO, no ?

[HanziQ]

Yes, it is a bug.

I have steam cloud disabled due to the amount and size of saves (500 MB) and bad upload speed (0,5mbit).
I can reproduce this problem every time. This happens only on the steam version, the website one is fine.

I've deleted the log files, then launched the steam version of factorio, disabled a mod and went back. Factorio closes and never restarts, I only have a factorio-current.log:

13:54:13,9334879 Factorio (PID 7100) exits with Exit Status 0

Whenever I exit Factorio (using Exit or just closing the window) it takes 2-3 seconds to actually close, this has been happening for a few months now. My guess is that the Steam version doesn't allow having 2 copies running in this case, as it works on the website version.

I've attached the complete process log file (.pml), to be opened with Sysinternals Process Monitor.

This was a problem with the --wait-to-close command line argument not being available in the steam version, should be fixed in 0.12.25.
