Which version of the demo are you trying to launch?

The game will be for sale soon, it was during the indiegogo campaign, sale on the website will be up shortly.

this will happen if you do not have enough video memory, only the alpha will tell you this though

Are you saying that a machine that can run Far Cry 3 on max settings with some other games running in the background and photoshop and a youtube music playlist can run out of video memory?

You could try using 0.2.10 and see if that works, click the "experimental release" to go to the experimental ones. 0.2.10 doesn't seem to have any major bugs, so it should be fine.

  • Start the game
  • control+ escape ( to get to task manager)
  • Find factorio and right-click
  • Select maximise

( If he was running linux and KDE, then this would mean that the application crashed and that item in the tray is only a ghost)
