Hi, i just got the game, and it was working fine, but now i have this error "Couldn't create atlas bitmap (size 512X490). Probably not enought video memory. Setting bitmap caching option (all -> High), please reset the game". I tried to open game like 15 times, but still get this error. I even reseted the PC and reinstaled the game, but still nothing. Someone can help?

Moved to Technical Help.

Please post a log file (factorio-current.log). You can find it here:

For Windows: %appdata%\Factorio (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio)
For Linux: ~/.factorio
For Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/factorio

How much VRAM does your graphics card have? Factorio requires 512MB.
You might be able to launch it by setting

Code: Select all

[graphics]
video-memory-usage=medium
in the config/config.ini. Accepted values for video-memory-usage are: all, high, medium, low
