[SOLVED] [1.1.107] Crash on launch: SDL_Error: Couldn't create window

When I launch the game through Steam, the "Play" button cycles to "Launching" then back to "Play", and the game doesn't launch. When I launch the standalone executable:
Code: Select all
$ ./factorio
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ./factorio
This happens on every launch attempt. It's immediate:
Code: Select all
$ time ./factorio
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ./factorio
./factorio 0.01s user 0.01s system 14% cpu 0.120 total
I've reproduced it with Steam's latest stable 1.1.107, Steam's latest experimental 1.1.109, and the latest standalone stable 1.1.107. Versions later than 1.1.104 are also unable to create a log file - if I remove factorio-current.log, start the game, let it crash, then check if factorio-current.log exists:
- With 1.1.105 and later (up to 1.1.109): factorio-current.log does not exist
- With 1.1.104 and earlier: factorio-current.log exists
Log file, with 1.1.104:

A relevant detail is that the standalone 1.1.107 game launches fine when I run it with sudo.

I've reproduced this (on the same device) with both an Nvidia 1070Ti thunderbolt eGPU, and Intel integrated graphics. It doesn't seem GPU-related but it's not in the log file so I thought I'd mention it for completeness.

I've moved ~/.factorio away, and let it create a new one, to rule out any problems in there (disabled Steam cloud first so it didn't download anything old back into there).

Reinstalled Factorio in Steam, no change. Updated Manjaro to its latest release, no change except the version number in the log file:

Steam versions after 1.1.104 are also still unable to produce logs.
However, the standalone version does now launch without sudo and seems completely healthy. My next step might be to reinstall Steam.
