Factorio Forums

Host1 on the LAN is hosting a multiplayer session. Host2 browses the list of available LAN sessions. Sees host1's session listed, as expected. Upon clicking (single click, or double click also works) the session in the list, it gets highlighted, turning orange. Within one second or less, it becomes unhighlighted. If it gets unhighlighted, then clicking the "Join" button results in error dialogue. If you can click/highlight the server and rapidly sweep the mouse to the join button with precise aim and click, then session is joined successfully, otherwise error dialogue. It's extremely difficult to achieve. I took maybe 10-20 attempts.

Seems to be 100% repeatable, on both Macosx 10.11 and Windows 10. Factorio version 0.14.17. The host session is not logged in to a factorio.com account (I haven't tested whether that affects this behavior, but maybe).

Did you meant to link to viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35395? That's exactly the same.

Might be able to happen if the LAN discovery removes the session from the list for a very short time (fraction of a second). After adding it back it's deselected as it's a "new" entry.

I have this same issue. Items in the list won't stay selected for more than a fraction of a second. Makes the list completely unusable.

Fixed for 0.14.18,
