Was laying rail and stations to create unloading station template when game crashed. Dialog box asked for log file to be posted. Log file, savegame, zip mods folder at : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YeljA5Ovdr7NFZKkmJY56hmHh5zqTWSN?usp=sharing PS: Good luck with the launch. Its a great ga...

Well done mate. Sharing your motivational difficulties is brave and good of you. One can take heart hearing of your experiences and that you have worked thru it. I am pleased for you. Thank you for the great game that you and the team have created. It has given me many hours (thousands according to ...

Anyone know what this is ?
Every few minutes I get the console bleep bleep bleep sound and the number 2 appears on the bottom left of the screen like console messages do.
There are no alert icons showing. I dont even have to be getting the player to do anything... just have the game running.

Pleased that the "new placement rules only applies to newly built pumps. Offshore pumps on existing maps will keep functioning, they’ll just be shifted out from the shore" so thanks for that !
The new pump looks great.

Good one. Thanks. Your a font of knowledge !

Thank you invisus.
I limited the stack size to 1 and it did as you suggested. It stops the inserter being left holding material that wont fit in the wagon.
With that change the inserters load just fine.
Thanks for your advice.

Whats happening: Train pulls into station and stops. Inserters are supposed to load contents from chests into wagons. Often Inserters appear to fail to recognize goods in the chest and fail to load same. Train wagons are set so slots are designated for a particular type of good. Inserter seems to be...

Just by way of update, in case its any help, since I added (on April 20th) " --force-opengl " as posila suggested, I have been installing every software update and have had no crashes at all.

Posila, TL;DR I have just added " --force-opengl " as you suggested (sorry I did not see that message before) and I will let you know how it goes. DETAIL Thanks for the reply, most appreciated.....No there is no overclocking or tweaking software on the PC The Steam Game Overlay while in ga...

Posila, I appreciate that you think its a Direct X problem that you wont have to worry about. My other report has been put into the duplicates category and diagnostic logs provided. I originally reported this March 4 for version 0.17.4 I have 2471 hours on Factorio and it would be good to get this p...

Well I do get the error in Factorio only.
If it was my PC I suppose (?) would expect it might happen in other games too - at least occasionally.
All my drivers and OS are uptodate with whatever is the latest.
Anyway. Thanks.

Now 10.17.24
Still happening

now in 0.17.17
crashes frequently (at least once every session)
is this a problem with the game or a problem with my PC?
(doesn't seem many folk have this issue and its been occurring since 0.17.2 so maybe its me?)

As per original post. [0.17.4] [W10] Swap Buffers Failed

Now in 0.17.16 and problem remains.

Happening more frequently it seems - three times today. Last crash game crashed to black screen.

Yes thanks. I saw that, it was in 0.17.2.
I reported my event given its in 0.17.4

What did you do? In game just returned to 'home base' from destroying aliens. got out of jeep, saved game, game crashed. What happened? Game crashed and dialogbox displayed: DXGISwapChanin:Present Error - See Screenshot What did you expect to happen instead? Game should not halt and display dialog [...

Thanks to Tuplex (Youtube: Factorio SpaceX Let's Play #79 )
Options / Interface and un-tick "Play Sound for Chat Messages"
Obviously also stops sound for chat messages but if you don't need this then it does stop the Beep every time a LTN console message is displayed.

Is there a way to mute the beep that sounds each time a LTN console message is displayed?

BTW - Thanks for a great MOD
