If you play on Steam, set launch options (in Factorio properties in Steam) to

Code: Select all

--max-texture-size=4096
That will most likely fix the problem.

There has been a new experimental release, that fixes quite a lot of things. Could you try again, and post us the nex log if it still doesn't launch ?
Also, do you have up to date drivers for your graphics card ?

Yes! It worked, I put in the advanced launch option and it worked, it might've been the update, either way thank you all so much!
