: DirectX crashed.jpg (86.71 KiB) Viewed 2878 times

When I start the game from steam, or from the desktop shurtcut, I simply get the following error:
"Echec de l'initialisation. Code erreur : 01" (french).

It happened yesterday as well and I managed to solve it by:
- Uninstalled the game
- Delete the folder "Factorio" in Roaming
- Restart the PC
- Reinstall the game
(Note: Only uninstall / Reinstall, or only restart the PC didn't work separatly)

These steps didn't work today. However I get a more detailed error message on the first failure only (please find attached "DirectX crashed")

I haven't found anything about RTSS on my PC
I both tryed to turn as TRUE opengl and to use launch option --force-opengl.

the factorio-current. log is:

I tried again the steps that worked yesterday, and it worked again. I can play today

I am still looking forward a better solution to start my game

Hello, I believe there is some problem with graphics drivers on your computer. It seems to me you have a laptop with nVidia Optimus technology, in that case you need both Intel HD Graphics driver and GeForce graphics driver.

When it works - is everything else with your laptop same as when it doesn't work? (ie. the charger is plugged in, you have same applications running, etc.)

I would be also more interested to see the DirectX crash log than OpenGL failure.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply (especially on Saturday). Apologies to respond only today, I was already in the game, online with a friend yesterday (this game is so nice ; can't stop it ^^)

I confirm I have a Lenovo laptop (windows 8.1). I do have NVIDIA technology, and I have just check: windows confirm both HD Graphics driver and GeForce graphic driver are up to date. However, I remember to have turn one of them off then on back to solve an issue a long time ago (I don't remember the issue, but remember it did work ; I will try this if I get the pb again).

Absolutely everything seemed same when it did work or not: PC plugged, same software started (Twitch app and Steam). My PC is always really slow after starting: I can feel it is not at its best during the first 10 - 20 min after starting. Therefore, the only difference I can think about is the time I have waited between the PC start and the Game start.
Note: it has just started properly today ; my PC was on for a long time before start it.

How can I find the DirectX crash log?

Remove the --force-opengl argument, produce the crash again and post the log.

I haven't reply before as I haven't had the problem again. I am not sure what I did I do to solve it, but it seems solved: I have played nearly every days since the issue without ant problem.

Thank you for your prompt responses.

Thank you for this beautiful game.
