Thanks for the report.
Is it repeatable or did it happen just once?

It happens every time I start Factorio up. When it happens is random, mostly before the main menu, sometimes after. Always the same message

As a workaround, you can try to switch to OpenGL renderer instead. Open Factorio properties in Steam Library and set launch options to

--force-opengl
