Post by magu5026 »

I tried to update to the new version and received the following error message:

Update failed: Checking update packages failed:
Error opening update package: File D:/Games/Factorio 0.17/data/base/migrations/2018-12-21_Factorio_0.17.0.json not found

I have similiar issue. When downloading update it print error message
file_size(p): unknown error: The system cannot find the path specified. C:\Users\My Name\Desktop\factorio_0.17\temp\instructions.json
It seem the problem is space or non ASCII character. As My name contain š. Moving it to different location so path doesn't contain space solved this problem for me and update is working for me.

Thanks for the report, this should have been fixed in 0.17.22:
