Hello, can you try to update driver for both your Intel iGPU (HD Graphics 4600): https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downlo ... duct=97500

and GeForce GT 730M? https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverR ... 5873/en-us

Same issue. My Intel and NVIDIA drivers appear to be up to date.

0.17.48 no longer crashes for me. Very mysterious.

Just for completionist's sake, I tried to launch 0.17.48 with all mods disabled, and I still got the crash on startup. Here's the Vanilla log.

Try to open config.ini and add at the bottom of the file

Code: Select all

dxgi-presentation-model=copy
config.ini is in config subfolder of directory that contains factorio-current.log

Adding in that line made the game start up normally. Thanks!

Will I have to change this each time a new version is released, or should I be good to go from here?

Unless you downgrade to 0.16 or delete the config file, the change will stay in your config, so you don't need to do it every time.

Thanks for the help with this! I won't be downgrading to 0.16 for any reason that I can think of, so we should be all set!
