Hello, have you tried to reboot your computer?

Try to open Factorio properties in Steam Library and set launch options to

Code: Select all

--force-opengl

The problem (based on logs you posted) is that DirectX failed to initialize itself. Usually it happens to people when they update their graphics driver and don't reboot the computer.

Does you computer have dedicated graphics card from nVidia or AMD?

If it is loading (but is stuck on 40%), try to set launch option

Code: Select all

--single-thread-loading
Can you post new logs, please?

Hi
Last week my graphics card broke down. It happened when I was playing Factorio. Since then I can't start it. I get this messege "Error: Initialization failed. Error code: 01"
I have now removed the broken graphic card and ordered a new one. I'm still waiting for it. I hope it will arrive next week. What can i do to get Factorio working again?

Well, first you tell us what version of the game you're on (most likely 0.16.51 or 0.17.4). Then, you read the post about how to report a bug and upload a log file.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

Version 0.16.51. I have tried to --force-opengl in in Steam Library launch options. I wish I could run Factorio on the integrated graphic card on the motherboard till the new grtapic card arrives.

EDIT:
I think it doesn't matter now. As soon as i installed my new graphic card it was no problem to start Factorio.
