[1.0.0] Crash when starting the game with a DirectX Error

Post by acrom95 »

First, I start up my Steam application, next I select Factorio under my games list, and then I select the play button to start up Factorio. But when I started it up today, I started getting a DirectX Error, stating "Swap Buffers failed." The other thing that the error states is "IDXGISwapChain::Present error: E_OUTOFMEMORY (0x8007000e)". When I read the log file I don't understand how I am out of memory, when my computer's "My PC Folder" shows that I still have over half of my computer's storage available. What do you believe I should do? Should I see if there is an update for DirectX11? Thanks

Out of memory means you don't have any more free RAM. Hard disk storage is different and independent from that.
