Update: The updated drivers that caused an issue was the version: 610.43.02

I downgraded the drivers to the previous one before the update by using pacman on Arch using the packages in the cache (at /var/cache/pacman/pkg ) to the previous drivers whcih was 595.71.05

sudo pacman -U lib32-nvidia ...

I feel your pain. Nvidia is particular problematic it might seem. I updated my Arch recently. Incldued a GPU driver update.

Rebooted.

Now I have graphical issues. Even though the driver is correctly set to Wayland. The only change is that driver update so it's not the game that's at fault. I haven ...

I only discovered that I could with my Steam account download Factorio directly from Factorio.com site! So I've downloaded the 2.1.7 for Linux from there and ran it from command prompt. And it loads perfectly without issues - no graphical glitches and it picks up Wayland without issue. ( 0.295 Video ...

Fair enough.

I appreciate the time taken to look into this.

Thanks

I added this to the Steam launch options SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% and the log does show this env variable being picked up and it crashed. Have added the log.

Hi, I have similar issues to you.

Wondering if you're using X11 or Wayland? I posted mine at viewtopic.php?p=695083

Only affect me if I'm using Experimental 2.1.7 but not on stable - flawless on that.

Thanks for the link - I've read the thread there as well as the Reddit link that was posted in there.

Those suggest that it's a graphics driver issue.

I don't think it is in my case as I am able to play other games on my Linux box without issue.

Furthermore I have switched Factorio version ...

A suggestion - try running the game from the command line with verbose output - maybe it'll help you identify what the cause might be (game launches for me on Linux, but I have graphical issues though).

ie something like:


~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio -v


You would ...

The rendering will flicker and glitches as if I'm using X11 on Wayland (this happens in Stable too if I set driver to X11 that but it's perfect with zero issues if set to Wayland). I switched to experimental 2.1.7 to check it out and getting this. The menus are broken like this and the text might ...
