Re: Failed to create display error

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 proba...

Re: Failed to create display error

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 s...

Re: Failed to create display error

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 video...

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 backr...

Game starting, but cant use any buttons.

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...

Re: Cannot start

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.

Cannot start

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!&qu...
