Game starting, but cant use any buttons.

Hello, again. I realise that I have already posted a topic asking for help when all Factorio did was flash at me, but since then, there has been bug fixes and stuff, so now I can get the game to start by disconnecting my laptop from my screen, starting the game, and reconnecting it. I have to put it into fullscreen first, but then it opens up, no problems at all. (or so it seems) It then allows me to do nothing with the menu.

Thank you.

Hi, exactly what version and platform is this? 0.11.1, win 64? Could you post a log file?

I am using Windows 8, 32bit. Game version is 0.11.1.

I don't know how to get the factorio logs.

are my computer setup and specs necessary to show you?

As a side note, about 30% of the time, I try to start up the game in the same way, and when i reconnect my laptop, it gives me the error of the backround sprite cannot be loaded.
This is a tiny bit confusing as yeterday, it did as I described in my 12th nov post.

How to find log file: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... e=Log_File

The problem you are describing looks like some graphics diver issue to me. Anyway you might try to run factorio in windowed mode instead of full screen, if it helps.

Ah. Thank you very much. I will post the log as soon as possible, if you still need it.
