Hi @mattie112, thanks for the fast answer, I tried that, unfortunately no change

I found this https://www.factorio.com/download according to this explanation I need server version 1.1.53

Thanks for reposting this, dont think I would have found this solution otherwise. I had my env FACTORIO_VERSION value set to latest and couldn't connect to my server all of a sudden from Win 10. Seems the Linux Server latest version is 3 sub-versions ahead of the stable Win10 build Steam looks at.

For anyone else that find this, I did have to use the latest autosave instead of the Load Latest option as the server had restarted using the newer server version and therefore upgraded the map data, rendering it incompatible with the "older" stable version.

Lesson: Always use the 'stable' value for your FACTORIO_VERSION env value by default, not 'latest'.
