[13.13] Crash when loading in background: "57: failed to create display!"

Post by mexmer »

i had this error few times even with "stable" version, and also with previous releases. but with current i'm able to replicate it 100%

what i do
1) run factorio
2) bring another application to front (for example web browser)
factorio in "background" stops loading and throws error.

this doesn't happen if you bring to front other application, after you see factorio logo and "loading" progress. also seems steam version is more susceptible to this problem.
it's just matter of convenience, no big issue, but still i think should be reported ;) , i put windowed games into background during loading phase, since they tend to take long (especially when you have lot of mods installed and such)

bellow is content of log

That does it! I am fixing it, so at least we are going to find out why Allegro enforces Window to be in foreground when it initialized OpenGL :)
Fixed for 0.13.14
Thanks for the report, by the way :)

i know how to prevent this from happening, i also mentioned it in my first post. but i felt it should be reported, since it's possible to reproduce it 100%.

It is probably fixed this fast because you are not the only person that reported this issue: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=22497
So that linked issue can also be closed after this release.
