[0.11.9] Crash when starting new game

[Skadadenca]

I got the zipped version of Factorio, unpacked it and tried to start playing when it crashed. Campaign seems to be working fine, custom scenarios also crash.

Map editor works, but I can't load into any of the maps created without crashing.

Repro steps:
Main menu -> Play -> New game -> Default settings -> "This application has encountered an error and must be closed"

The log file is below

Do you have any mods installed?

We have just started new MP game.
Everything is fine.

No mods installed, no options changed, this is after unpacking into a new folder and trying to start a new game.

Please advise, how do you see that log?

If you're using the installer, it's %appdata%/factorio/factorio-current.log

I have this exact same problem. MP Works fine, SP crashes.

It looks like the zip download for x64 is corrupt maybe? The installer one works just fine for me.

Same issue here, just got auto updated and tried reinstalling, still crashing on new maps or loading saves.

Windows 7 64 bit
Factorio 0.11.9 64 bit
No mods. fresh install still crashed.


Logs don't have much conclucive information.

Ok, this issue was kind of mystery, as it didn't crash on our installs, but it did crash on the released zip packages.

It took us a while to find out that it crashes when the tips and tricks window is displayed (we have it disabled in our settings for obvious reasons).

Anyway this is fixed for 0.11.10

Can confirm, disabling tips and tricks from settings makes the game run proper. Thanks for the fix and the workaround
