Code: Select all

  10.755 Error Util.cpp:77: GPU monitoring software like MSI Afterburner or EVGA PrecisionX is interfering with Direct3D 9 and the game crashed. Updating such software to the latest version or shutting it down will prevent this kind of crash.
Alternatively you can try to set force-opengl=true in Factorio's config file or use launch option --force-opengl.
If you are using MSI Afterburner or RTSS (RivaTuner Statistics Server) then make sure you have the latest version installed.

On Steam you can also try this:
Right-click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties.
Press the "Set launch options" button in the General tab and enter --force-opengl.

Go to %appdata%\Factorio and delete the file named crop-cache.dat.
To open this folder just press Win+R to open the run dialog and enter %appdata%\Factorio.

I've also moved this topic to Technical help.
