[0.13.12] Factorio crashes when other screen (HDMI) is unplugged

This is a bit of an odd one, someone came in, and tripped over my TV cable from my computer, while I was playing factorio, unfortunately I didn't get to get a good look at the error message displayed because something important had come up, but it was something about a GL texture I think, and the game was crashed, didn't end up recovering.

Crashlog? IIRC I haven't had issues disconnecting my alt in 0.12.

Crashlog is saved? I'll edit this post with it when I acquire it. The alternate monitor was an HDMI television, to be specific, the main monitor, which the game was running on was just an ordinary DVI monitor.

Unable to reproduce in 0.13.13 on Win7x64 with a SVGA monitor external to my laptop. WinDbg didn't catch anything weird, either.

Ok I got it, apologies for the delay, it's heavily reproducible on my system from the looks of it, game updated to 0.13.13 for this test
Crash Log
I was going to post the error box but it just says the same thing as the error in the log, then I click ok and factorio terminates
This is a bit of an uncommon problem, I just wanted to report the bug

EDIT: my bad I thought I was running 0.13.12 last time, it was clearly 0.13.13 based on the log

Thanks for the report,

I suppose your video card realizes that the screen in unplugged and shuts down that area of the screen, while factorio still tries to render there, I cannot reproduce it using a display port screen

I don't understand, why would it try to render on a screen it wasn't using in the first place? Perhaps the 970 purges the video memory when there's a screen unplugged? I don't really get it. Also looking at the logs it shows the TV as monitor 0, and the DVI monitor it was running on as monitor 1, which would I would assume change to become monitor 0
Just a couple thoughts I had just now
