Issue with Startupt

[ForevoyantOculos]

I am unable to run the Factorio full game. The demo started just fine. I am using a laptop with Windows 7. When the game loads to 84% a message pops up saying error, Sprite outside of"_base_/graphics/icons/boilers.ping" (at 29, 29, size 3x3 of 31x32). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, I have even tried to reinstall to a new location, neither of these worked. I did not notice anything in the forums that helped either, but I like this game and would like to be able to play it. I have downloaded this game off of steam, not sure if that helps at all. Thank you for reading this, and I hope I can soon play.

Steam -> Library -> Factorio -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache

[ForevoyantOculos]

Thank you for that lightning fast reply, I received feedback way before I had expected, unfortunately I have already tried doing this, and it hasn't made a difference yet. However, since you mentioned it I tried it again, still I receive the same error.

a message pops up saying error, Sprite outside of"_base_/graphics/icons/boilers.ping" .

just to be on the same page, the error message is about "_base_/graphics/icons/boiler.png" and not what you wrote right?

Please attach the log-file, you find it here: Steam > Library > Factorio > Properties > Local Files > Browse local files > factorio-current.log

[ForevoyantOculos]

Yes it is .png I apologize for the typo. Also after going to browse local files, there are 3 folders bin, data, doc-html, and then there is a file named config-path.cfg. I did not see anything with the name factorio-current.log. Thank you for the continued assistance though.

[Loewchen]

more importantly is it boiler or boilers?

Try win+R > %appdata%\factorio for the folder with the log-file.

[ForevoyantOculos]

Once again sorry for the typo, it is boiler, I double checked to make sure the rest of what I typed is correct. And I attempted looking for win+R > %appdata%\factorio for the folder with the log-file. However I did not see it, this would also be under here: Steam > Library > Factorio > Properties > Local Files > Browse local files, correct?

C:\Users\ (your user name here) \AppData\Roaming\Factorio
in this directory

[ForevoyantOculos]

The mentioned directory is nonexistent. I downloaded this off of Steam, and when going to "C:\Users\ (your user name here)" there is no folder named AppData.

[DaveMcW]

It's there, but hidden.

You find it by typing %appdata%\Factorio in file manager.

[Loewchen]

The mentioned directory is nonexistent. I downloaded this off of Steam, and when going to "C:\Users\ (your user name here)" there is no folder named AppData.

That might be caused by factorio never being started successfully.
Let try something else, add the file

boiler.png (2.53 KiB) Viewed 3678 times

to the following folder (yes you want to overwrite) and tell me what new error message appears when you start the game now: \Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\data\base\graphics\icons

[ForevoyantOculos]

Thank you, my apologies for not having been able to find it the first time. And here is what was inside of the specified notepad.

Great, in the same folder you should see a file crop-cache.dat. Try deleting it.

[ForevoyantOculos]

Crop-cache has been deleted. I have tried to start up the game once more and it successfully loads. Thank you all very much. This has been some of the overall best support I've received. Thank you for your fast and efficient responses. I really appreciate, and I apologize for my misunderstandings and other things that may have slowed the process.
