are you experiencing fps/ups drops beforehand? do you have crash logs?
sorry for late message, kinda like it goes from 60 to 40 but it doesnt always crash when it does that but usually when it does crash it will
where would i find crash logs?
is it in like the factorio folder
frosty temple
Windows: %APPDATA%\factorio
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/factorio
logs are factorio-current.log and factorio-previous.log
narrow mason
i cant seem to find any, next time it crashes ill make sure to send a screenshot
narrow mason
can you send me a screenshot of that folder?
both
mb took a shower
also it seems to be like that one light particle experiment when observed it acts norman, cause after i told you its been working perfectly fine
i just tried to recreate what (i thought) crashed me last (spamming ammo into turrets) and it stayed at 60 fps/ups
your talking about this right? i dont see any crash log area thing
ok it finally crashed again
it said
paraphrased
appmanager.ccp:310 saving to autosave 2 (blocking)
appmanager.ccp:2045: saving finished
thouse were the last 2 lines
frosty temple
can you upload the entire log files?
narrow mason
dude mb i need to check discord more often, i just shut down my pc and wont be able to get back on it till like 3:30 cst tomorrow, ill try and grt that log tmr
frosty temple
keep in mind every single time you launch factorio, it writes a new log, so if you've launched it twice since a crash (factorio-current.log & factorio-previous.log), those log files will not be helpful
narrow mason
ok here are both logs, i havnt launched it since the last crash so im guessing current.log would have it
frosty temple
ping me tmrw, i think i have an idea on what it is but dont have time today
narrow mason
wait i found out 1 of the causes , when i z (drop) ammo into turrets around biters nests fast it crashes
idk if its when around biters or specfically nests
frosty temple
send that log as well, and if i cant figure it out you'll have to post on the forums about it and you need to post the log as well as describe the crash
so save it, and write down what you were doing
narrow mason
heres the one that just crashed, im gonna try and force another to see if they got any similarities
ok i was tryign to get a screen recording of it crashing and i was gonna like chat to describe it in the video but when i pressed chat it crashed and i checked task manager and it was saying windows problem reporting was taking 100% of disc
359.956 Loading script.dat: 1222 bytes.
359.991 Checksum for script level/control.lua: 2463946943
in the most recent 3 crashes these were the last 2 lines
if that means anything

I put it on the forums and raiguard said I probally need to update my drivers as there is no sign of a crash
also I just remebered the first time it every crashed it popped up something like "launch with openGL" and i press yes and it hasnt popped up anything after a crash again
narrow mason
i launched it not with steam and this popped up

yeah i was gonna say post on the forums, i wasnt seeing anything
frosty temple
i launched it not with steam and this popped up
if you want to update or not, usually steam will auto update, unless you stayed on a specific version selecting a beta
narrow mason
i updated my drivers and it seems to have made it harder to crash (like taking longer) but it still crashes
frosty temple
is this unmodded space age?
narrow mason
yes
like it may just be my trash computer but normal factorio works perfectly fine so i dont know if space age would be that much more demanding or what
i dont really mind any other crashes than the gun turrent ones, ca+use that makes it like a deadlock rn agaist the biters since its hard to take big groups out without placing tons of gun turrets
frosty temple
it's more like a driver issue or corrupted memory than factorio if you're getting at least 30 ups

would me downloading factorio off the website, playing on my world for a bit then downloading it on steam and playing on it make it act like this?
im trying to think of like any possibility
wait that might actualyy be whats happening
i just launched a fresh world and did one of the things that 100% crash me on my main world (typing in chat)
i could type however long for however quick i wanted to on the fresh one but only like 7 letters before the crash on my main world
my main world is only to black science (not at blue yet) so i dont think that would effect it too much
@frosty temple sorry for pinging, but what folder would space age be in
im checking to see if theres like 2 space ages of something
narrow mason
@frosty temple I FIXED IT
I FUCKING FIXED IT
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS DELETE AND REDOWNLOAD FACTORIO
IT DOESNT CRASHhHh

i think my suspision was right, i think playing on the world on both steam and the website like messed it up somehow
thanks for all your help btw

that's really strange, i would think it shouldnt have any effect. ive done that multiple times (and know people who have) with no issues
frosty temple
thanks for all your help btw
yeah ofc, im just someone who likes factorio and saw your post get lost in the abyss of questions lol

i was always thinking it might have been the cause cause on release day i played for like 4 hours straight on the website download but when i swapped to steam it started crashing every now and then
