[2.0.66] Audio doesn't work on Linux

Post by ming2k »

I'm using PipeWire as my Linux audio service, but it always crashes my system's PipeWire. I remember this bug has persisted for a long time, from version 2.0.60 until now.

OS: ArchLinux
Install Mehod: from Heroic Game Launcher

Why heroic? Have you tried the zip from the website?
And without a logfile it is hard to give any advice.

Please test the standalone version of the game from our website and see if it behaves differently. Also, please provide the contents of your factorio-current.log.

Thanks, it's a good method. This appears to be fine for now.

Sorry for the log losing. Currently I am using the solution replied above. If there is the same problem, I will post it. Thank you for your reply
