A nasty bug... When I try to load the latest save, the game crashes with "Unable to create sprite...
A older save works fine, even when I continue playing past the stage of the corrupt save. Restarting the computer doesn´t help.
Happened already four times.

Now the nasty part: I considered providing a bug report the last time (a day after the crash happened). As I tested the "corrupt" save ones more, it worked quite fine.

And once again....

Autosave just before works fine.

and again...

If your save files repeatedly become corrupted, then you should check your hardware as well.

"Corrupted" may not be the correct term. Factorio is loading the save without an error message. The world and the player character are generated an then ....Unable to create sprite ... and crash.

Hi, thanks for the report.
The saves are not corrupted, but it might be graphics driver issue.

It fails to allocate texture for map. I assumed the map contained hundreds of thousands chunks, but it is not the case.

Installing current driver might help: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/113448

Hi Posila,

thanks for your reply! I´ll give it a try an keep you updated if the error occurs again.

After one week using the latest nvidia driver no further crash has happened. As the crash happened randomly I cannot be absolutly sure, but I think you can close this bug report.

Sorry for having bothered you, should have thought about a driver update myself
