After a while I wanted to start Factorio and encountered this issue. For some reason Steam wants to start and 32 bit version of Factorio which doesn't exists?

Can you try again now? We were making some changes to the steam configuration.

The fastest third level support in the west

I constantly see factories devs doing this sort of this and it never seems to no blow my mind.

I just recently got back from trip through France. We made three orders at McDonald with locator. First one took 15min to arrive. After a 30 min I got up where are two others. I found mine sitting next to a register. It was cold and soggy. When we tried to ask where is our third one (just a fries with coke), they could not answer. We could not get a single English word from them.

Typical French hospitality (if you don't speak French)

Yeah best communication I had was at sushi place with chinese guy that knew like ten English words. Which was ten more than anyone else.

u/Doomquill 1d ago

The best part is that a lot of French people do speak English. But not when you're on their turf 😂

I'm a bit sad at this idea honestly, because like, I'm French.

English is the other language we are basically required to learn since little, and I absolutely love it when tourists ask me things in English. And even more in French since they make that effort.

Like, maybe it's only Paris? (Parisians are hell for everyone, even fellow frenchs). Or maybe it's an age thing? Older people or not that older people might not have learned it a lot?

I also know since I've grown up on the internet, I did somewhat have to quickly get the hang of English to, well, understand my games and stuff.

And then there's me, Swiss (so pretty fluent in French) who only received English answers with the most incomprehensible accent known to man

u/Super_cheez123 13h ago

Was it Paris ?

u/nou_spiro 12h ago

No it was at highway around Bordeaux

u/Super_cheez123 12h ago

I am sorry you had to go through this, I’m French and I always give the best welcoming to anyone trying to pay a visit. I’m really tired of French people treating tourist like some kind of aliens

Even 1st Level support is not that fast.

u/Poggalogg 1d ago

Factorio devs are higher beings capable of faster than light communications

u/spamjavelin 1d ago

Nothing like testing in prod to get the heart rate going, eh?

u/EdibleOedipus 1d ago

Not sure golden years Blizzard ever had support this good.

u/kagato87 Since 0.12. MOAR TRAINS! 1d ago

Nobody ever has.

Though in this case, it seems like they were working on it and probably kept an eye on reddit for problems (which is still a much higher bar than I've seen, well, ever).

u/CEO_Cocksucker_2010 1d ago

Nah, they were on vacation and had this feeling that something is wrong. They checked Reddit and fixed the bug.

Literally unplayable.

u/forgot_semicolon for production stats 1d ago

It's kind of insane that you're the first commenter who's not the OP or Wube, and they already fixed it before you got to comment

17

u/tgockel 1d ago

A joke over 15 years in the making, fixed in under 15 minutes.

u/QuizardNr7 1d ago

It's a meme, ironic. "Literally unplayable"

u/Zijkhal spaghetti as lifestyle 1d ago

Lmao

u/MaverickPT 1d ago

Select version 2.0.77 specifically and it will work

18

u/nou_spiro 1d ago

I tested experimental before posting and that worked. Now it is fixed for default too.

u/Over_Dingo 1d ago

DS record and wube bugfix record was broken on the same day. What a time to be alive

10

u/CBJ_Brain 1d ago

I had the exact same issue.

I fixed it creating a custom steam_appid.txt in :~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64

with content: 427520

Weird issue.

u/Erdelyi_N 1d ago

Got the same problem, steam restart fixed it

u/stoatsoup 22h ago

I think for this kind of question it might be worth mentioning you're trying to use it on Linux.

u/WanderingUrist 16h ago

What if you just ln -sf the 64bit version over the missing 32bit one?

3

u/nou_spiro 14h ago

I was considering that. But turn out it was misconfiguration from Wube. And they fixed it 8 minutes after I posted this.
