[posila][0.15.16]Factorio tries to create display too often

Post by Bilka »

My graphics driver is broken in some way which makes most games not start. When I tried to open Factorio it tried to create the window, which failed because of my broken drivers. The actual bug is that for some reason the game then tried to create the display over and over and over and over again, for maybe a minute or longer. I even managed to get a video of that happening. As you can see, the game then crashes "properly".

The log shows this behaviour:

Thanks for the report.
This is how Allegro behaves when it fails to initialize DirectX, it tries again with slightly different parameters until it goes through all display modes supported by an adapter. Problem is it destroys window after failure and creates new one for next attempt. It can't be changed easily to behave differently. I could maybe disable retrying ... as this behavior might be health risk, I think.

Another problem with this is that the windows takes the focus whenever it is recreated, so using your PC while this is happening is neigh impossible unless you have multiple monitors.

For 0.15.26 I made two changes about this issue. From Allegro main repository I cherrypicked a change about clearing window to black instead of white, so it doesn't flash white when trying to create device.
The second change is an attempt to filter display modes it will try to initialize, so it doesn't try every possible combination of settings, but just those that your device might actually support.
