Further information

Hey,

Thanks for maintaining the files, this ain't easy work. Despite the server and my client both being at 2.0.41 I keep getting a mismatch error and idk why/how.

The updates returns the latest stable

[fctrserver@localhost ~]$ ./fctrserver update
[  OK  ] Updating fctrserver: Checking for update: factorio.com

No update available
* Local build: 2.0.41 linux64
* Remote build: 2.0.41 linux64
* Branch: stable

However when connecting I get the following

Version mismatch detected!
The server is running an older version of the game.
You are running version 2.0.41.
Server is running version 2.0.35.

Relevant log output

LinuxGSM grabs the server version directly from the server binary ./factorio --version so the version LinuxGSM will definitely be the correct version. The only thing I can think is maybe the server had not rebooted for some reason and the old version was still loaded.

I actually gave up and was more successful with nixos

    services.factorio = {
        enable = true
   }
