[0.9.8 x64] Game appears as ~30x30 pixel square

[WorldOfHurt]

My game starts as a ~30x30 pixel square at the top left corner of my screen. I tried switching the graphics mode to simple in the config, but that had no effect. I am running windows 7.

Tried that?

Yes, I have. When I right click it just brings the 30x30 pixel block to the front. That was the first thing I tried.

Hm. Well, then, second best solution:




Sorry, couldn't resist. And sorry, I really don't know, but perhaps this helps over the time you need to wait for a solution.

Thanks for trying. Since then I have tried to run in 640x480 mode and in all the compatibility modes and nothing has helped.

I'm really not sure what to do at this point.

Here is some more information on my graphics if it helps:
(my graphics card drivers are up to date)

Somehow it's getting your screen resolution wrong. Try editing config.ini to run the game in windowed mode, maybe that works?

Code: Select all

[graphics]
fullscreen=false

Hmm. You have seem to have two display adapters, AMD Radeon HD 6800 which goes for 1080p display (TV?) and then there's AMD Radeon HD 6550D (integrated and not in use? Or is this a laptop? what? I have no idea)

I'm betting Factorio is checking screen resolution of the wrong adapter and thus fails to create correctly sized window.

Yep, that seemed to work. I don't know how I missed that config option, I was looking specifically for it.

And the 6550 is a holdover for when I was too poor for a graphics card.

I had the same issue, turning off fullscreen fixed it. I used to have the issue where the game wouldn't show until you clicked maximise, I still get that issue windowed, however a few months ago when I last played factorio 0.9.8 fullscreen was working fine, minus the maximise issue.

Looks like a (semi)duplicate of https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =41&t=3322. So moving to duplicates with cross reference.
