[0.15.3] Failed to create display [Radeon/DirectX] (MR)

Post by Tournesol »

When starting the Factorio icon flashed in a semi-transparent moving way on the taskbar.
Then I got an error message: "failed to create display!"

This happened after a fresh boot just after I updated to 0.15.3.
Before this I had tested 0.15.0 and 0.15.1, both run fine.

Running on an AMD Radeon HD 7970, with a 2560x1440@99Hz desktop.
There was no changes/updates to the system or drivers.

This seems to happen every time I start Factorio now.

Hi, that is really strange. After 0.15.0, there were no changes related to initialization of graphics API.
There was change in graphics config settings, but only difference it could make is that v-sync used to be turned off by default, now it is turned on by default.

Please save attached config.ini to %APPDATA%\Factorio\config and let me know if the game loads after that.

I tried the config file, but the result is the same.
Neither vsync,fullscreen or desktop display frequency seems to change the behavior.
In fullscreen mode a window is opening and closing at a very very high rate, making the entire screen flicker.

However, I did find that setting 'force-opengl=true' made the game start :)

I am having the same issue, It is usually resolved by restarting the game.
I am also using a Radeon 7970, could this be a driver compatibility issue?

[0.15.12] Failed to load window icon

Post by Nathan1852 »

After updating to 0.15.12 I can't start factorio anymore.
Verifying the game chache through steam and completely redownloading the game didn't help.
I checked, the image exists with that name
It also seems that the window tries to open multiple times, the icon in the taskbar disappears and reappears multiple times before the error

@Nathan1852: Does it still happen if you try to reboot the computer? It fails to initialize DirectX for whatever reason.

[0.15.12] Game crashes with D3D

Post by rldml »

Hello there,

i don't know, if it's really a bug.

If i'm trying to start the game, i got a D3D-Error (You can see it in the attached file). If i'm changing the game-config to use OpenGL, the game starts normally.

Factorio worked in 0.15.10 with default-config fine.

I'm using an AMD RX480 with 4GB of VRAM.

Thx for support,

I had the same issue today, cause by the update of windows 10.
But for me, rebooting my computer solved the problem.

Re: [0.15.3] Failed to create display [Radeon/DirectX] (MR)

Post by posila »

Today I came to the office and had the same error (wall of CreateDevice() failed with eventual "failed to create display" error message), so I had opportunity to investigate it a little bit.
It seems to be some problem with Radeon driver, none of the DX9 sample ran, or it ran only on my second graphics card (GTX 750Ti). Also Portal 1 (which is DX9 game) didn't run.
When I tried to run the game on the GTX, it crashed on "Failed to load window icon!" error which Nathan1852 had. It turned out Allegro does some checks against default graphics adapter (Radeon in my case) that caused the game not to run on secondary graphics card. So I fixed that.

After reboot, everything works as expected (Factorio, DX9 samples, Portal 1).
