Hello, the game is being launched on Intel HD Graphics 4000, which is unfortunatelly very poor GPU with very buggy drivers and the current state is pretty much as stable as we can get it from our side ()

However, your laptop has also dedicated GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M, which should be much better for running the game. Open nVidia Control Panel and create profile for factorio.exe to use High-performance GPU.

- First, open the Nvidia Control Panel. One way to do that is right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and choosing Nvidia Control Panel from the menu.
- Navigate to 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings.
- Open the tab Program Settings and choose the game from the dropdown menu.
- Next, select the preferred graphics processor for this program from the second dropdown. Your Nvidia GPU should show as High performance Nvidia processor.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply.
I already done that, also for the steam on which Factorio is running.
Unfortunately still crashes.

Can you post new log, please?

Also, try to disable "Use flip presentation model" in graphics settings.
