Periodic Freeze/Crash (w/log)

[Stevepunk]

Same issue here.
My game is about 10hrs in and I have 90hrs played all up.

I have 0 mods.

I have an area that has multiple roboports and in fact most of my base has coverage.
The crashes only happen in the core area of my base with everything going on.

It has happened 2x now on this same save file in the same area within a couple hrs.

On my previous games it never froze (except during autosave).

Like OP stated it just freezes (no sound) and has to be force-closed.

Also after force-closing if I try to restart the game again from steam I get the error: failed to create display. If I wait a while then try again it launches as usual.

Also, achievements aren't triggering (they have triggered for other games today and last few days but not for Factorio).

I moved that post as it was getting confusing and the topic was quite old.

Please upload a log-file from one of those instances it happened.

Would there even be a log of this issue since the game didn't actually crash, it just froze?

Here are the two logs I have:

The issue occurred prior to the previous log but there doesn't seem to be a previous to previous log file.

Set the Steam launch options to --force-d3d by right-clicking the game in your steam library, then select properties, then set launch options.

If the freeze/crash keeps happening (especially when autosaving) then run a Memory test.
