Crash when launching the game

[luck255]

No mods, gets to about 90% and freezes for a second, then the message about submitting the log to ya'll. Let me know if there's anything else I can attach. I was able to launch v16 before 16.3, updated today and now this.

On Steam the easiest workaround is to right-click Factorio in the library, go to Properties --> Set launch options and enter --force-opengl

To workaround this in mean time you can do one of the following things:
- Downgrade back to 0.16.2, disable texture compression in graphics options
- Change texture-compression to false manually in config.ini (in config subfolder that's in the same directory that contains factorio-current.log)
- Use --force-opengl launch option, as the bug was introduced only to DirectX renderer
- Delete config.ini completely - texture compression won't be turned on by default
