[0.17.52] Failed to create device and swap chain

Post by Andswaru »

Hi,

When launching the game I get the following error:

"Failed to create device and swap chain.

If your running the latest vertsion of the game you can help us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the factorio forums."

I have attached the log.

The game seems to launch (at least the nvidia steaming popup starts) the screen goes black.. then it returns to the desktop with the error message asking me to post here.

The game ran this morning fine, inbetween i closed the game and opened an offical video stream to watch the formula 1 (although give the performance of F1 TV it would not surprise me if it was their fault). Post race it wont relaunch and throws this error. I have not tried a reboot yet.

edit:

The game is unmodded and was never modded on this laptop.

You need to update your graphics driver.

Try updating both drivers, if it still does not work post a new log please.
