[Solved] Factorio freezes every 30 sec

[Minek]

Hi everyone,

My game freezes approx every 30 seconds for 1 to 5 minutes.
I tried to put down the graphic settings but it does not have an effect.

Does someone have an idea if this problem can be solved?
Which information can I provide to support a solution?

[sillyfly]

OS version and system info (CPU, Memory, GPU) would be a start.
You could also upload your log file, and disable any mods (if you installed any).

[Koub]

You can start with a logfile, your pc specs.
Additionnal info that may be revelant :
- savegame + mod folder
- a screenshot with debug info onscreen (F5)

Which information can I provide to support a solution?

• OS
• Version of the game
• on steam or from the developer website
• does it only freeze when you are playing or in the menu as well
• does it freeze on every map or just on some/one
• does only the game freeze or the whole system
• mods
• system specs
• log-file (https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Log_File) after several occurrences!

When you remove the mods (just rename the folder) and load the save, does it still happen?
If no, pls upload the mod-folder.

Edit: You might want to update to 12.30 first, you can do that by opting in the beta.

[Minek]

I updated to 12.30.

The problem disappears when the mods are not used.
I ran through my base for 15 minutes until it was taken by the aliens.

Another test with activated mods brought back the problem.

I uploaded my mod-folder and my savegame.

[Minek]

The reason for the problem seems to be the misantrophe mod.
I deactivated the mod and was able to play an hour without a freezing.

Maybe I will try a more actual version of this mod.
