Factorio Forums

What did you do?

• - Start Factorio using steam
  - While the window is still black: press alt+f4 closing the window
  - Attempt to restart Factorio via steam

What happened?

• - Steam reports Factorio already running
  -Taskmanager -> Details shows a factorio.exe process using about 41,700k memory usage

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

Factorio starts like normal

This seems to be a minor issue though, as you have to close factorio within ~5 seconds after starting.

Hi, thanks for the report.
Could you attach your log, please? (it doesn't need to be from the zombie process run, I just need to see how is your Factorio configured)

In the zip file there are two logs. The previous is from the zombie process and the current is from a successfull start to the menu(and exiting the game using exit)

Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 0.16

Would like to know what the problem whas(aside from a dumbass closing the game in in a couple of seconds)

When the game is closing, main thread is waiting for windows message pump thread to end ... but for whatever reason, message loop wouldn't exit if the application window was closed before all the display initialization finished. I changed the closing logic to not wait for message pump to exit if its window handle is not valid.

Would this fix also apply to this bug report, or are they different?

They're different. But that one also happens to be fixed for 0.16 due to unrelated reasons.
