Update: I changed the title of this bug report, because it shows more clearly what happens.vlczero wrote:MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

When starting Factorio i sometimes get a Spinning pinwheel the input becomes non responsive but the game loads up. I then have to force quit Factorio because i cannot press any button in the main menu.
I have been having this problem since version 0.10 i believe. It does not bother me that much but it is still a little bit annoying.
Maybe it has something to do with the switching of the graphics card from in-cpu to dedicated, when Factorio starts the NVIDIA card is turned on.
I know this is hard to reproduce so if you need any other information let me know and i will be happy to supply it.
The random spinning pinnwheel is still in 0.12.6. - for me currently about every 5th startup and especially after updating to new version.
... so it is not really a problem, but newbies, that manage to start it up 2 times with this error might think something is corrupt with the game.
I've a Macbook Pro, 14", 2014, MacOS 10.10.5, with 16 GiB RAM.
I can exactly see, when the bug happens: When the white screen at startup takes a bit longer than normal the chance for this spinning pinwheel is about 90%.
Maybe this helps: I also tried today what Kovarex explained in https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =7&t=14282
I go down to 2048 but the spnning wheel happens with the same possibility as without reduction. So it doesn't seem to be something with the video-ram. I think the idea of vlczero, that it has something to do with the switching of the graphics card is worth a deeper view.
I think something might not properly initialized; for example when Factorio is started, I cannot play videos without stuttering.
