I have tried to mess around with the graphics in the configs, but that has not helped resolve my issue. I just barley got this game and bought alpha before downloading the trial. I am sort of mad that my game wont even start up!
This is the Error I get around 14% of the loading process...
Sprite "__Base__/graphics/entity/acid-splash-purple/splash-2.png" Could not be loaded
I either want some one to help me resolve this issue or my money back

Usually an issue with not enough video ram.
Have you tried 0.12.2? Get it here:

How do I fix the graphics problem
I have tried to read about it but nothing makes any sense to a complete computer noob

Like I said, try 0.12.2, it has some graphic optimisations so the requirement is less. It might solve the issue for you.

Also, what are your computer specs. Factorio requires a pretty decent graphics card (VRAM wise) in order to play.

It could also be a folder path problem. Can you try to download the Zip package (if you are on windows) and run it?
Can you post your log file?

I successful used the zip pack to get Factorio. This time when I tried to open it up it game me a similar but slightly different error at 14% in the loading process.
This is the New Error:
Sprite"__base__"/graphics/entity/basic-mining-drill/south.png" could not be loaded

Could you run "dxdiag" - type it into the start menu - and take a screenshot of the "System" tab and the "Display 1" tab and post those here? If you can't upload them here you can upload them to

Also the log file, and computer configuration would be helpful.

go to your desktop then rightclick on the factorio shortcut and press the: "show file location"
Then press the "Factorio" between programfiles and bin
then double click the mods folder with a small arrow on its bottom left
then press the Factorio to the right of roaming.
Now you should see the factorio-current which is the log-file
!
(maybe it would be wise to add "log" to the file name, and similar to the mods shortcut add a shortcut to the logfile directory?
