Crash to desktop on Factorio startup at 95%

Well, since some months I cant play the vanilla game any more, Factorio keeps crashing at 95% on startup. (I did mention this before but in another post and got asked to make a new post)

A previous bug was related to savegames, for I thought maybe it's related to this I've already:
- deleted all savegames,
- cleaned the Steam storage (which I am not even using in the first case),
- uninstalled/reinstalled a few times (no change).

factorio-current.log file from todays attempt:

Check if the .zip version works, if it does reinstall steam.

Done. The .zip demo worked, but running the game after re-installing steam and installing Factorio caused Factorio to crash to desktop at 95% of the orange loading bar when starting the game. I managed to start it from the install folder instead from Steam, though ... Not sure what to think of this ...
( F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\bin\x64.factorio.exe for me)

Ok ... now it crashed also when using the install folder instead Steam ...

Try updating your graphics driver.

Hey

Are you running discord? I had the same problem and stumble upon your post. Couldn't get the game to work until i disabled the overlay. Might want to try that who know.

Latest Graphics Card driver is already being used, so unfortunately that didn't solve it (Nvidia GeForce GT 710) @Loewchen
Thanks for the tip, but it didnt work for me @adelbertt
Game is still crashing on launch at 95% without any error message.

Just as a side note, if this is the graphics driver, sometimes the drivers can install corrupt. I had it happen to me once. Fresh windows install, installed all the latest drivers fresh, but Factorio kept crashing. I uninstalled my graphics driver and used one of those cleanup tools to make sure nothing was left, then reinstalled. Factorio worked fine after that.

Well it worked fine with the very same driver before October.

Apologies, should have been clearer. It's possible for them to install or become corrupt. Even if all you're doing is reinstalling the same version, it may be worth a try.
