I was thinking the same, but I was also using minidisplay port, which was causing problems from day 1. I must admit, I now have a new computer, and it works beautifully. I also was using a faulty minidp cable. I now feel like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, and that the issue was ...

Nice, we have one more Factorio addict now :)
So as a final diagnosis, I'd say your hardware is maybe a little underpowered to run Factorio in full screen on a WHQD display (might work with slightly lower settings though). And that solved, you had a minor display bug where Factorio window doesn't ...

Okay so If I understand correctly, when launched in windowed, the game doesn't crash anymore, but doesn't swoh up on screen, right ? If what I said is correct, you might want to give a look at this link : https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4400

My specs are: i7 2760QM, 8GB DDR3, GT 555m (yes, I know, terrible), The NVDIA website isn't very precise, but apparently its 3GB DDR3... (That doesn't seem right.) Windows 8.1, (I am not sure what ...

Hi I have seen several causes produce that error message.
What would help :
- Your PC Specs (CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, OS (+SP if revelant), Video Drivers, screen res)
- Game info : the logfile generated , do you play the full game or the demo, the installer or the zip version ?

Nice music in your ...

If you could help me, that would be great! Thanks.

Ah. Thank you very much. I will post the log as soon as possible, if you still need it.

I am using Windows 8, 32bit. Game version is 0.11.1.

I don't know how to get the factorio logs.

are my computer setup and specs necessary to show you?

As a side note, about 30% of the time, I try to start up the game in the same way, and when i reconnect my laptop, it gives me the error of the ...

Hello, again. I realise that I have already posted a topic asking for help when all Factorio did was flash at me, but since then, there has been bug fixes and stuff, so now I can get the game to start by disconnecting my laptop from my screen, starting the game, and reconnecting it. I have to put it ...

Yep, i fixed it at one point, and then it decided to not work anymore.......

Yes. The laptop screen disables when i connect it.

Yes I have. It works fine and if its just a case of the alpha restricting the game starting on a display, then I'm fine with that. I can play it just with my laptop unless there is a fix you know of. The reason I asked is because I like playing games on a bigger screen. But if there is no fix, so be ...

The resolution is 2560x1440. It is a copy. I haven't launched it before so it can't be in full screen mode. I only have the one display.

Hello. On my 27 inch display, I cannot start the 0.10.6 version of the alpha. I am using a laptop connected to the screen and when I start it up, it flashes white, as if the game is failing to start up. After about 5-10 seconds it stops and comes up with the error: "Failed to create display!". If ...
