probably not enough of video memory.

probably not enough of video memory.

Factorio ran perfectly pre-0.15.0. You are not helping.

[Loewchen]

probably not enough of video memory.

Factorio ran perfectly pre-0.15.0. You are not helping.

.15 can use up over 2GB of VRAM so this is a possibility.

Hi, can you try to open Factorio properties in Steam library and set launch options to

Code: Select all

--force-opengl

?

probably not enough of video memory.

Factorio ran perfectly pre-0.15.0. You are not helping.

And factorio added much higher resolution textures requiring more video memory. 2GB recommended to be exact.

You have integrated graphics. Did you enable them?

TheMugbearer doesn't use high quality textures, so that should not be a problem.

Alright, thank you all who posted their suggestions and questions, let me go through them.

.15 can use up over 2GB of VRAM so this is a possibility.

I've got a laptop with integrated HP GPU with ~1700 MB of memory, and an auxillary AMD GPU with 2.800 MB or memory. The switchable graphics are on by default, and in AMD control center Factorio has a "maximum performance" priority set.

This helped, thanks a bunch! <3

EDIT: Only in-game it lags, which worries me.

Hi, after we release 0.15.3 you can try to remove --force-opengl and see if it starts and runs better.
