[0.14.20] Factorio crashing on startup

[MagicLegend]

Hi there,

You'd say that I know what I'm doing, giving my modding experience with this game. Well, I don't. The game is crashing immediately on startup, throwing an unknown error at my face. On my laptop (win10 64bit) there is no issue at all (tried that installation). A completely fresh 0.14.20 also gives the same error. I've tried disconnecting the two other displays (via windows tho), but it didn't help. I'd love to play the game on my desktop as well :p I'm going to give it a go in a VM in a min, but for the mean time; here is the log:

   1.144 Error Util.cpp:77: Unexpected error occurred. If you're running the latest version of the game you can help us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.
Please also include the save file(s), any mods you may be using, and any steps you know of to reproduce the crash.

Some extra info: I have the steam version installed (dunno why I don't use that one, gonna test that too in a min xD). Now let me boot my VM to give a fresh windows on the same hardware a try

EDIT:
0.14.20 32-bit runs fine on my Win10 32-bit VM (lol, have no 64-bit ready xD) Well, given the 970 is the driver only 13.5fps is killing me, but at least I can play now XD

Thanks <3

Hi, what version of nVidia drivers do you have? It basically crashes at the first call to Direct3D which shouldn't ever happen no matter what.
If your drivers are up-to-date do you use any in-game overlays (for example MSI Afterburner)? Or any software for gamers that could interfere with Direct3D in some way?

Hi Posila,

I'm running 369.09. Well, it happend anyway :p I know it's an older driver, but I never like to update them, because I know what I have and don't know what new bugs are in the newer versions I guess your advice is to update the drivers? :p

I'm indeed running Afterburner, along with the Nvidia-overlay software. Apart from that I'm also running F.Lux, but that shouldn't affect it (but it's doing some funky stuff with my displaydrivers sometimes)

The drivers are not that old, they should be alright. Try to disable Afterburner (including its Riva Tuner Server), nVidia overlay and maybe even F.Lux.

Also you can try to use OpenGL instead of Direct3D. Navigate to your Factorio folder, open subfolder config and open config.ini in notepad. Edit force-opengl setting to

Code: Select all

force-opengl=true

If config folder doesn't exits or it doesn't contain config.in create the folder and save attached config.ini into it.
