Factorio Forums

I am unable to open the game due to a message popping up 'error loading mods'
I am only playing a vanilla game with no additional mods.
I have gone the full 9 yards to try get factorio running again, including clicking the 'disable mods' button as well as the 'restart' button.
I fear to restart my computer in case my save files will not be up-to-date (i use steam and it has been a wile since i backed them up).

Verify the game cache, and in the Factorio data directory (same place where log files go, see the sticky), rename the "mod-list.json" file (inside the "mods" folder) to something else (or move it to recycling) so the game hopefully regenerates it.

Thank you, that situation seemed to fix it.
