Factorio Forums

Behavior started after an update process (failed?).

Since then I have tried 12.6 zip, 12.7 zip, 11.22 zip, and 12.7 installer.

Factorio runs and has a process visible in taskmanager (using 20-30% cpu while idling).
No visible presence on screen or on the taskbar.

Previously I had the issue where factorio would start minimized and I'd have to get it back by selecting it on the taskbar and hitting win+d several times.

In taskmanager I cannot maximize, move windows, or switch to the process. It appears as though no window is ever spawned, like a headless server?

Thank You.

I am having the same issue,

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit.

After further testing...

12.7 ERROR - runs as background process

12.6 works
11.22 works (don't know what happened first time)

When 12.7 runs no config file is generated.
I copied the config folder/file from 12.6 over and changed fullscreen=true as a test - no success.
I also tried dropping the 12.7 exe and pdb into the 12.6 bin folder as a long shot - no success.

I hope 12.8 fixes win10 compatability

Thank You.

I can confirm the exact problems.
But i never had an update, i only used the zips for full Version from ths site.

12.6 only starts minimized
12.7 and 12.8 start only as a process, but i am not able to get there. The process just idles with around 50% cpu usage.

I use a not really new Dell XPS Laptop, Windows 7 64bit.

Does it still happen in 0.12.10?
