[1.1.87] Crash on startup, no error message

[Kallinger]

> What did you do?
Started the game through steam
> What happened?
Started loading, hung for a few seconds when it reached the "loading sprites" part, then it just silently died, no error, nothing. In steam the "Play" button reappeared.

That the game would start up...

It happens irregular, sometimes a few times in a row, otherwise not in a few days.

Most of the time it starts on 2nd try other times i need to restart it up to 5 times or so. It always crashes sometimes in the "loading sprites" part.

When i looked into the logs of a earlier crash it even finished loading a few but crashed afterwards, sadly i have only copied a short part of this log and not the entire one:
10.439 Parallel Sprite Loader initialized (threads: 23)
11.130 Warning! Sprite at {0,0; 64x64} from aai-vehicles-ironclad/graphics/icons/ironclad-mortar.png is defined with 4 mipmap levels, but level 1 is expected to be at {64,0; 32x32} which is out of bounds of the source image.
11.131 Warning! Sprite at {0,0; 64x64} from aai-vehicles-ironclad/graphics/icons/ironclad.png is defined with 4 mipmap levels, but level 1 is expected to be at {64,0; 32x32} which is out of bounds of the source image.
11.131 Warning! Sprite at {0,0; 256x256} from aai-vehicles-ironclad/graphics/technology/ironclad.png is defined with 4 mipmap levels, but level 1 is expected to be at {256,0; 128x128} which is out of bounds of the source image.
---End---
The other complete logs are attached as well.

I first thought that might be an mod error, but i was told this is probably and Factorio error and I'm best to report this to the forum.

As you've mentioned none of the logs show any crash. Have you checked the system event logs to see if it has recorded any abnormal termination of the game?

I have looked through my /var/log folder but not found anything that overlaps with the time of the crash. I guess i would need to activate overall logging somehow? Alternatively i could start steam with -v and look at these outputs?

Looking through journalclt i found this:

That is a steam issue, check if a graphics driver update is available, disable steam overlay or run the game without steam.

Found the coredump, not sure if this is helpful but its the best i could come up with.
The download link will be valid till 28/08/2023, https://privatenextcloud.ddns.net/nextc ... aEMBw9JRq7

But reading the other reply i think this is solved already?
