[2.0.47] Game stuck in loading screen via uninstalled mod.

[Royalleague45]

What did you do?

Open Factorio on my Steam Deck. (This is as specific as it gets for this I'm sorry)

What happened?

The Game got stuck loading a mod that I did not have installed.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

Mod load error.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Always.

Extra info - I was playing a world on my computer and decided to switch to my steam deck, unsure how my steam cloud could've affected it.

Thanks for the report however the log file says you do have that mod installed.

Seems like the bug might actually be the fact that mod management seems to declare that it's not downloaded?

[Royalleague45]

I'll install it on my PC and see if that fixes the issue on my Deck.

IT DID NOT WORK

The more obvious approach would be to delete the mod from your steam deck installation.

[PennyJim]

Okay I didn't make the connection that the fact that it wasn't installed was a screenshot taken from the computer instead of the steam deck (since the steam deck can't load into a mod manager since that mod freezes startup)

Sorry for guiding them to a bug report when it was in fact not a bug 😅

I did end up doing that, it is fixed. I'll contact the mod author about the usage problem.
