[0.9.8] Crash on resume from suspend

[agent86]

I can reproducibly crash the game by suspending my PC and then resuming. I do this while at work and while asleep so I generally see this a couple of times a day

The Windows crash report looks like:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

I can provide details of my setup or run additional tests if need be.

When you susopend your computer Windows releases the handle to the graphics card and shuts it down. Shutting down the graphics card also causes the Vdieo memory to be cleared.
So in order for an application to corectly resume working after the computer is brought back from suspended state it must handle such event correctly.
Basically this means that application must reinitialize its graphical engine and load all neded graphics into Video memory before resuming its normal work. As far as I know Factorio doesen't do that which means that it will crash every time your computer goes into suspended state.

So my advice is to avoid puting your computer into suspended state while Factorio is running. If you are on laptop you might wanna change settings of what happnes when you close the lid so that computer won't go into suspended state as it is set by default. I'm a laptop user I have changed the settings so that nothing happens when I close the lid. Don't worry the computer will still poer off the LCD light and in most cases even shuts down the LCD screen entirely but the graphics card will still be processing things as normally.

Similar thing happens when the game is minimised and it works properly, we just need to find the correct event for this as well.

Hello, this has been fixed for (the upcoming release) 0.10.9

Still crashes for me in 0.10.9.

The "switch user" crash I linked above still happens in 0.10.9 too.

I am on Windows 7 x64.

It works perfectly for me; I can switch users and put the game to sleep while I'm in the middle of a loaded game and it resumes without any issues. Are you sure you're on 0.10.9?

Ok, I did a clean reinstall and sleep works now!

Switch user still does not.
