Thanks for replying!Koub wrote:Hi I have seen several causes produce that error message.
What would help :
- Your PC Specs (CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, OS (+SP if revelant), Video Drivers, screen res)
- Game info : the logfile generated, do you play the full game or the demo, the installer or the zip version ?
Nice music in your video btw

Regarding to this, the GT555m as built by Nvidia can manage up to 3 GB GDDR3 ... The "up to" is important, because if a company wants to sell a laptop with a sticker GT 555m, but wants to cut on costs, it can just sell it with 1 GB.

You' looking for two lines :
- Dedicated Video Memory (that's just a translation, mine is not in English, might be slightly different)
- Shared memory (same thing, might be called differently on English systems).
You can ensure your drivers are up-to-date by right-clicking (again) on the nvidia icon in your notification area. If your contextual menu says "New update available", you know you can update. However, if you have the "GTA V" update, you should be pretty OK : I have a much much older driver, and everything runs smoothly for me.
As for your resolution, if you suspect you might have insufficent ressources, you can try to launch the game in windowed mode, by ensuring you have in your config.ini :Config.ini can be easily found by following the "config" link in your Factorio installation directory.Code: Select all
fullscreen=false
Lastly, whenever a log is needed, always attach or include the full log, there may always be valuable data where you just see useless junk stuff.
The easiest way is to copy-paste in a spoiler= tag, just remember to add a description after the "=" sign, as so (you can edit my post to see the exact syntax) :
Logfile
Cool, the windows+d button worked for me! Thank you so much for your time!Koub wrote:Okay so If I understand correctly, when launched in windowed, the game doesn't crash anymore, but doesn't swoh up on screen, right ? If what I said is correct, you might want to give a look at this link : https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =49&t=4400
Scroll to Graphics, and the second question is the one you're looking for.

So as a final diagnosis, I'd say your hardware is maybe a little underpowered to run Factorio in full screen on a WHQD display (might work with slightly lower settings though). And that solved, you had a minor display bug where Factorio window doesn't show up.
