[0.15.x] Game won't launch on 0.15.x (doesn't even create window or log)

With the 0.15.x update the game will no longer launch on steam. click play it goes to launching then nothing.
If i revert back to 0.14.x the game launches completely fine.
I have completely reinstalled the game. tried different 15.x versions verified game integrity. restarted my computer completely multiple times. disabled all anti virus. restarted steam completely and killed all tasks in task manager.
Not sure what else to give.

System Specs:

Let me know if i can help out at all.

Issue: Launching from Steam does not launch/open the game window. Factorio remains 'running' for a few seconds in steam then exits. Launching on 0.14 works fine.
Resolution (Temp): Disabled Trend Micro Maximum Security, game launched fine straight away. Obviously the full solution is to find a fix where anti-virus can be enabled.
Troubleshooting: My issue directly relates to Trend Micro Maximum Security v11.1. It seems that Factorio 0.15.x must have changed something that calls a process impacted by anti-virus, I'll try to determine whether this is a firewall issue or a file issue but disabling my anti-virus worked for this (obviously not ideal).

I had the same issue Trend Micro Maximum Security v11.1.1045.
Disabling the AV protection was not sufficient, I had to quit the AV application successfully. Or add factorio.exe as a known whitelist executable (not ideal for long term).
I tried disabling all other settings a few at a time which did not seem to help. I am not seeing any blocking even logged within the av application itself either. A scan of the /steamapps/common/factorio directory comes up clean also.
With the av scanner enabled I see the following in the windows application log:
These files may be available here:
C:\Users\phil\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_Factorio.exe_93255b73bb88dd94fa9f54038bf9fcfd33e98ea_08468ac2
Running windows 7 x 64, 16 GB Ram, all non-optional windows updates applied.
Let me know if I can give any more info. Thank you!
EDIT: support case opened with trend micro. Asked them to help me provide you with log files.

Have you tried using the stand-alone install experimental version from their website?
I ended up getting it working using that and disabling my anti-virus.
Still wouldn't work in Steam for me though.

Thank you! Once I disabled trend micro maximum security, game launched.
Also, windows SmartScreen prevented the "Setup_Factorio_x64_0.15.1.exe" from launching, claiming that it was a trojan.
I added factorio exe to trend micro exceptions list.
e:\steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe
(or whatever your steam installation location happens to be)
Now I can enjoy factorio 0.15!

tried that completely fresh install onto a new hard drive from the website and does the exact same thing just has the loading icon for half a second then nothing tried a bunch of compatability mode as well.

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me. I was having a similar problem where the game wouldn't launch and when it did crash it wouldn't generate a log either. The game launches and runs fine in 0.14.23 but doesn't work in 15.x. After having reinstalled the game, deleting configs, verifying and the whole nine yards, I noticed I had some apps that were hooking into the program when I viewed the windows event viewer crash log. What ended up working was I disabled or closed any apps that have an in game ui or hook, so things like the Steam in-game UI and Razer Synapse in my case. When I closed those two things the game would launch and run fine, and after it launched I could restart Synapse without any issues.
For comparison, I have:
i7-4790k
nVidia 970gtx
Windows 7
Steam version of Factorio

This is it. Razer Synapse is casuing the game to not launch. disabled it and re-enabled all the others and it works now.

Razer Synapse also was the issue here: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=44516 (this also contains a minidump)
There is some kind of incompability between it and Factorio 0.15, at least the Steam version.

Hello, I also run Razer Synapse 2.0 on my computer and get the same exact crash.
However leaving Razer Synapse on and going to steam -> factorio[0.15.x] -> properties -> update
and disabling or enabling the steam cloud synch fixes the problem for a random amount of time until the game crashes directly on startup again with this message.

But after receiving the crash message and enabling or disabling the steam cloud synch the game starts just fine with Razer Synapse 2.0 running all the time.
Maybe it's still related to the steam cloud somehow. I don't know. I hope this helps in any way fixing this bug.

I had a similar problem. The program would load to 30%, pause and then spit out a crash report. First thing this morning I didn't have this problem but I looked at my Mod list to see they were updated. After that I had the problem. Removing the mod folder solved this problem.

There is no crash in this log.

It was most certainly not the bug from this thread, but from viewtopic.php?f=30&t=44672
A missing base mod will crash the game at 30%, this also explains why removing the mods folder fixed it.

Hi, I have made this thread sticky so other people who have similar issues (antivirus blocking Factorio, or third party software causing crash) can easily find information about what might be a problem.
It seems to me the game crashes even before our code starts running (or really soon after) since no factorio logs are created, so I doubt we can fix it from our side. I can understand an antivirus mistakes something in almost 20MB executable with malware, but incompatibility with Razer software is strange. One of our devs is using Razer keyboard and hasn't had any issues ... could it be just some outdated version of Razer Synapse?
In past we had also some incompatibility issue with very old version of Logitech QuickCam software.

In my case I was able to kill the process of just the Razer in-game configurator and have Factorio boot with no problems (RazerIngameEngine.exe), I even renamed the install folder for the ingame engine so Synapse can't boot it. It could be an old version of Synapse, but I think it might just be that only certain peripherals use the ingame engine, peripherals such as the Naga. Under the main tab of Synapse, so keyboard or mouse, there are some sub categories, one of which would be addon, and one of the options under that category is a setting to enable the use of the ingame configurator. It binds to a key shortcut (I think mine was set to alt+` or something) and it hooks to programs similarly to something like Overwolf or Nvidia share or that sidebar the Quickcam software would use. Pressing the key shortcut opens a small window where you can change the keybinds of your mouse. It could be that it hooking to Factorio is causing a crash, or maybe it could be a rendering issue, but closing RazerIngameEngine.exe was sufficient to allow me to boot.
The closest thing I have to a crash log would be the windows generated .wer file. It has a list of the things that were loaded when the program crashed, so maybe that would a little helpful.
