In the beta selection in Steam, forcing it to 0.12.22 seems to fix the issue.

I set the steam version to 0.12.22, and the game was more stable, however I still received a popup that just read "error".

Also just tried the 0.12.24 beta version. same result.
I've attached the log for that version as well in case that helps!

If you have the MSI Afterburner overlay (or any other third-party overlay) enabled, disable them.

Oh man - just got through level 1!
Turning off MSI Afterburner seems to have worked. Thanks for the lightning fast reply.
With what I've seen of the game, and what I've just experienced with how fast your support is, I'd say you guys are going to be doing quite well once the game releases a full version.
Great job - keep up the good work

I don't have any overlays enabled (even the Steam overlay), and I still have the issue if I don't force to 0.12.22.daniel34 wrote:If you have the MSI Afterburner overlay (or any other third-party overlay) enabled, disable them.

I can't play for more than a minute or two before it crashes on me. Things I've tried after reading this and other threads:
Disabling MSI afterburner's screen overlay
Setting the beta version to 12.22
Adding "--force-d3d" to the launch options

thread hijack because crash on steam fits.
my game doesnt even load properly, fresh install, and while loading i get this message at 2%: No loader found for "rail"
i am confused, this is a fresh non modded install.
EDIT(by posila): Removed unnecessary image; also this is unrelated issue to this thread

Although you have installed the Steam version the mods are stored in the same directory as the website version, in the Application directory (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio).
Delete the mods folder in there and it will work.

im sorry, wont happen anymore, was just glad to see somebody allready had opend a thread for steam crashes
trying solution right now, and im again confused, because i got the stand alone version 12.10 somewhere else and all beloning corresponding mods inside that folder.
why are there any mods in the appdata area... this is confusing, at least for me

I thought of something that might be a possible cause. I originally bought the game a year or two ago, played it for awhile, and the steam version coming out made me go "oh yeah, Factorio, I haven't played that in awhile." I didn't uninstall the old version or clear out anything in appdata before installing the steam version. I didn't use any mods or anything, but who knows, might be some legacy file throwing a wrench into the works. I'll try deleting everything related to Factorio on my PC and re-installing it via steam.Raiden333 wrote:I can't play for more than a minute or two before it crashes on me.

Is there anything outside of the folders in %appdata% and the old Factorio install location that I may need to remove?Raiden333 wrote:Raiden333 wrote:I'll try deleting everything related to Factorio on my PC and re-installing it via steam.

Nope, didn't fix it for me. If it helps, here's my crashlog after deleting everything and reinstalling (and disabling MSI Afterburner Screen Overlay)

I added that to the launch settings, completely closed MSI Afterburner, and disabled the steam overlay, and it seems to be working now.daniel34 wrote:Raiden333 wrote:Nope, didn't fix it for me.

Thanks for the help! But I really hope overlay support is added before too long, I use the steam overlay to chat to people while playing a lot, and I feel kind of nervous playing any game without my GPU temperature on screen, since my graphics card is finnicky and prone to random overheating.

If --force-opengl did the trick then I think you can enable steam overlay again without problems.Raiden333 wrote:Thanks for the help!

The problem with the MSI Afterburner overlay was unexpected, as it only seems to happen on the steam version.

--force-opengl with steam overlay seems fine so far (2-3 hours, no crash).daniel34 wrote:If --force-opengl did the trick then I think you can enable steam overlay again without problems.Raiden333 wrote:Thanks for the help!
