Post by growmedia »

Hi
I've purchased the game but I cannot open it, and I don't know why

I search in google and I don't find anything. Can you help me please?

Thanks

UPDATE:
I downloaded the ZIP game from here: https://www.factorio.com/download and I replaced the EXE file and it works... I don't understand it...

This is the new log:

That makes me think it might be a problem with your steam install. Is it up to date? If you open steam and click Help->About Steam when was it built? (Mine was built in April 2018).

No, my steam is built in April 2018, the same as yours.

But the two factorio.exe have different sizes.

The first one (steam) has 19,5 MB (20.472.832 bytes)
and the seconed one (downloaded from factorio) has 19,6 MB (20.561.408 bytes)

And both versions are 0.16.36.36253

Why the steam version has less size?

The .zip version and the steam version have some minor differences. The steam version integrates with steam, whilst the .zip version doesn't. The .zip version includes a built in updater, which the steam version doesn't have. (Btw, I'm not sure whether anything will break if you try to use the built-in updater, given your current hybrid setup). There may be other differences between the versions as well.

Ok... So, there's some way to find the cause of why factorio stops its loading at the "Device reset internal"?

Thanks in advance!

Hello. What exactly happens? It just hangs on black screen? (I assume even factorio logo is not shown yet at that point). Or does it show some message about application not responding or application crashed?

Try to disable RivaTuner Statistics Server. Do you use also some other overlay software besides RTSS?

Offtopic: Do you really use Windows Vista or is it just compatibility mode?
