[1.1.71] Hangs at startup

After the in-game update to 1.1.71 and restart the game hangs with the word mod the progress bar at 0% and 'Loading mods...'. Progress bar does not move if I wait a minute.
Switching to the linux console with alt-tab, the only thing I can do is ctrl-c twice.
I've tried renaming the mods/ directory to hide-mods/. and it still hangs in the same place.
I've tried the following options:
./factorio --audio-driver default
./factorio --audio-driver sdl
./factorio --audio-driver allegro
./factorio --disable-audio

Code: Select all
0.201 [Audio] Backend:SDL(default); Driver:alsa, Device:Default device, Depth:16, Channels:2, Frequency:44100
Not sure if its a problem, but I have "pulseaudio" at that position
Code: Select all
Backend:SDL(default); Driver:pulseaudio,...

Did it behave differently with the different audio drivers you tried or with disabled audio?

Using the ALSA driver is not a problem necessarily. The PulseAudio is preferred though. The ALSA would be used either if PulseAudio initialization failed for some reason or if there is a environment variable SDL_AUDIODRIVER set to ALSA.

Is there a way to verify if the update patching worked correctly?
The symptom of hanging at Loading mods... 0% is the same for any of the options that I've tried. I've pasted the final entries in the log for each option before my manual input of ctrl-c twice.
./factorio
./factorio --audio-driver default
./factorio --audio-driver sdl

If you're using Steam, then you can have Steam verify the integrity of the files.
You can also (Steam and non-Steam) completely uninstall and reinstall. Mind that I think some data (the area where the save files and mods are kept) is not deleted on an uninstall, so you may have to do that manually.

No installer, I downloaded the Linux version from the main site many years ago.
On the wiki, my installation is cutely referred to as an Independent Install.
I have .tar.xz downloads for 0.16.36 and 0.17.23, so I am guessing that according to the timestamp 31 March 2019 was the last time that I needed to do an "install".
I've also found a .lock file in my factorio/ directory that has the same timestamp as the update file from 1.1.70 to 1.1.71.

You could just download the latest full .tar.xz file, extract and check, if it works
https://factorio.com/download
And direct link:
https://factorio.com/get-download/1.1.71/alpha/linux64
EDIT: IIRC the .lock file says, that factorio is running and locked to be started twice. Maybe try to delete it (or move somewhere else)
