Could not retrieve config.ini

[peeves91]

so i'm trying to get this running, but i must be doing something wrong here. it starts fine, and i do the --dir , and when i click on "Game Settings", this is the console output up until that point:

2021/01/23 13:47:43 Loaded Factorio settings from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\config\server-settings.json

2021/01/23 13:47:51 Could not retrieve config.ini: open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\config\config.ini: The system cannot find the file specified.

i've tried pointing --config at the config file to the config.ini in the appdata directory, but that doesn't seem to help anything. any clue if i'm doing something wrong in the startup or configuration?

(i'll provide any information or try any suggestions)

You run the docker image, on Windows or Linux (if yes, which distribution)? Nevermind, it's Windows. Never really tested the steam version, make sure, that you use a different installation for the server and your game. Does a file with that name and in tha folder even exist?

there isn't a config.ini file in that location. there is one in the appdata/roaming/factorio/config folder, but pointing to that one doesn't work.

guess i'll try downloading the server install from the site and using the experimental that way.

also, i don't know Go at all, otherwise i'd attempt a fix for this.
